The emotionally detached loveless mother!

Image
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...

USA and China clash over the coronavirus origin investigation in Wuhan!

-

 There is problem between the USA and China over the WHO's investigation in Wuhan regarding the origin of coronavirus pandemic. Was it a natural disaster, or an accident, or a deliberate attempt to destroy the world? America wants to interrogate the caregivers, patients, lab workers in order to know the exact cause of the viral source. But China is against this. Why? Is China trying to hide something?

WHO and its special investigative team

WHO-led independent experts have reached Wuhan on 14 January 2021. They want to determine the likely cause of the virus. They are now in quarantine for 2 weeks before they begin their work in Wuhan. Currently, from their quarantined spots they are in talks with their Chinese counterparts by means of teleconferencing. 

The USA is totally unhappy with China's non-transparency in this matter. It has accused China of hiding the initial magnitude of the problem. They feel valuable time was lost there and led to the virus going uncontrolled and expanding into a pandemic. They are not satisfied with the terms of the visit in which the Chinese have done the first phase of the research.

What US experts demand?

Garrett Grigsby of the Department of Health and Human Services is heading the US delegation. The team has demanded that China should share with them the complete details of the animal, human, and environmental samples it collected from the wet markets of Wuhan where the virus is said to have originated in 2019 end. He said:

“We have a solemn duty to ensure that this critical investigation is credible and is conducted objectively and transparently,”

He wants genetic data of the virus to compare it with the other new variants of the virus. This will help to know the overlap and might help in pinpointing the source of the virus. The Australian delegation also wants access to all 'relevant data, information and key locations'. 

China and its stand

Sun Yang，director-general of the health emergency response office of China’s National Health Commission said:

“The virus origin studies are of a scientific nature. It needs coordination, cooperation. We must stop any political pressure.”

WHO emergency chief Mike Ryan said:

“There are no guarantees of answers,”

He added:

"It is a difficult task to fully establish the origins and sometimes it can take two or three or four attempts to be able to do that in different settings.”

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

-
Image
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...
