The emotionally detached loveless mother!

Imagine a mother who is physically present but mentally and emotionally absent. This could be due to two factors: 1. Normal mother who hates family or children - this could be a cultural problem, or upbringing problem or an individual level problem  2. Abnormal mother who is emotionally detached and loveless  In both cases, imagine the plight of the family. The husband expects certain help, support and understanding from his wife for family and children. But it is absent. There is sex but no love. The mother is unable to pick up social cues and is selfish. She starts masking techniques and starts blaming husband or family for anything that goes wrong around. She does not understand the protectiveness of her husband and never engages in a proper conversation on it.  She does cooking for family but is not emotionally attached to them. Her children are confused and do not learn anything about social behaviour from her. She uses deception to remain in power but has poor decep...

The supermarkets have started providing the information on their websites and on the local premises for the shoppers on when and how they can get the covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is now being administered to the frontline healthcare workers in phase 1 of the 3-phased immunization campaign in the USA.

H-E-B has also provided details and guidelines for its personnel on how to vaccinate. The vaccines are in short supply and hence care has to be taken to see to it that it does not spoil. The websites have also given the reason behind the short supply of the vaccine. They have laid down the criteria for people who will get the vaccination now and also on how the people can show their eligibility to receive the vaccine. The procedure on how to get an appointment for the vaccination and it has also stressed that it is acting in accordance with the directions it got from the CDC and the local public health department.

Kroger and its directions on the website

Food retailer Kroger has also posted guidelines on who gets the vaccination first. It also asserted that the vaccine is highly effective and it is good to take it. It also talks about the safety of the vaccine.

On the other hand, Walmart is first vaccinating its own pharmacy staff before it goes on to vaccinate the public at large. It added on its website in the form of FAQs that it is working in accordance with the directions issued to it from the public health authorities.

Albertsons also revealed that it is part of the national vaccine-distribution plan and would be working along with it. There is also a place for people to sign up for new information related to the vaccination program.

There is a general feeling amongst the epidemiologists and policymakers that people may get misguided about the vaccination and this would deter them from taking the vaccine. For its part, both Facebook and Twitter have removed all false information about the vaccination against the deadly coronavirus!!!

Why I decided to not attend Nepal Respiratory society conference 2025?

-
I am a super-specialist doctor. Hence, when I learned about the pulmonology conference in Nepal in September 2025, I thought of attending it since I was there for some other work.  But I ultimately decided against attending the Nepal Respiratory society conference. You will agree that 'the first impression is the last impression'. And my first impression about the conference and organizers, unfortunately, was bad.  Reasons: 1. Incomplete information on internet  No proper directions on internet. There was incomplete and wrong information.  2. No office When anyone makes a medical society or association, it needs to have a proper physical address, phone number, and email id. But this, Nepal respiratory society, lacked all of this.  3. Piecemeal information  Initially, the registration details had no details about registration for international delegates. Later, this was added. But again, there was improper info on it. At one place, the fees was 12k npr and a...

Dementia: problem, risks, effects, and management

I had met my classmate around 4 months back and informed her also about my mom's death. But in a recent email, she wrote to me that I had met her a couple of years back. She also enquired about my mom. Seeing her email, the first thought that came to my mind was: is she suffering from early dementia. I hope not. Maybe, she just forgot about the time that I had met her a few months back. Maybe because it was a hurried and surprise visit.  Nonetheless, dementia is on the rise. It affects people after 60 years of age. The increased life expectancy means that one will see more of such cases in the near future.  India has around 10 million dementia cases out of the world total of 57 million. This is a huge percentage. It affects not only an individual but the whole family. There is this individual who is physically okay but mentally absent. The person needs custodial care and it could turn out to be expensive. It is also emotionally disturbing to see your loved one in that state of...

Our planet, Earth is an important abode for every living being including plants and animals. Earth belongs to everyone. Humans are the superior living beings, but they are also the ones destroying nature and earth with their excessive deeds and misdeeds.  Climate change and global warming are also the consequence of wrong human activities in excess. Industrial revolution of the 19th century paved the way for this downhill process of environmental deterioration. It has reached a stage where excessive temperatures are giving rise to glacier and ice cap melting, sea water level rising, ecosystem disruption, weather crisis, and high rates of infections and allergies.  Also, read Dementia and its risks and management  Effective steps need to be taken promptly and on a large scale to mitigate this climate crisis and in the meantime, measures to adapt to the rising temperatures also are required to be started.  However, in all this, some people make such vague statements th...
