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 at another place, it read 14k npr. 

4. No or delayed response 

There were three numbers given for contact, but answers from all of these were different and delayed. Most of the queries remained unanswered for days together. Ideally , answer has to come within 2 working days. Answer after 4 days is stated as delayed. Sadly, even the President of the NRS did not answer my message though I had clearly mentioned that I am a super-specialist doctor and wished to attend the conference. What an inefficiency!!!

5. Blindly supporting the harmful digitalization 

They said that everything was online and no cash payment. I pity those doctors who blindly follow what the illiterate politicians tell them do. As intellectuals, you need to question every new thing that is forced on you. Otherwise, what will be the difference between you and lay people or you and a herd of sheep or cows?

Digital technology may be good for information and limited communication, but it comes with its own disadvantages. There are cyber crimes and frauds. Even if you overlook this, doctors should know that digital technology promotes sedentary lifestyle that is bad for health. People have stopped visiting banks and shopping areas. They do everything from home with a click. But this has caused a rise in obesity and metabolic conditions. Obesity has become an epidemic and digitalization contributes to it. Heart ailments and diabetes are on the rise. Doctors need to make people aware of this rather than they themselves blindly following it. What a shame!!!

6. Poor management/communication and choice of topics was just routine. 

I thought that if doctors are acting in a non professional way, the conference also would be equally bad. I would be wasting my time attending it. 

Hence, it is better that I do not attend the conference and spend my time in other fruitful and useful way!!!

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...

 Covid-19 pandemic started in Wuhan in China. This was in December 2019. But China continues to state that though the first cases of Covid-19 were detected in Wuhan, it never originated there. But the world wants to know the true answer of origin of the virus and hence the pandemic that brought the world to a standstill. WHO is investigating this matter.  China and its denial of origin of coronavirus   China has been persistent in its denial of Covid-19 in Wuhan. It stresses that though the first cases were detected there, they never originated there. They claim that it came into Wuhan from somewhere else.  But the world feels that the wet markets are the source of the pandemic. Also, the other powerful countries of the world such as the USA blame the Wuhan Virology lab for the start of the virus and its spread to the outside world. WHO is investigating this matter. Initially, WHO was denied access of the lab but now they have been able to get inside and try to probe...
