' To Kill a Mosqito using an Atomic Bomb '

To kill a mosquito using an atomic bomb. Sounds exaggerated but in some ways the metaphor used by Dr Haridas has its own meaning. Well actually, he said it after discussing a case of a patient having relapsing of bipolar affective disorder throughout two years despite has been prescribed with some meds (don't remember whether it lithium, risperidone or sodium valproate). He questioning the reason of tapering the dose of the drugs after the patient become stable for some time and then a few months later, she showed the symptoms again. Basically what he trying to say is, doctors nowadays need to play safe. Giving the strongest and best medicine possible so that the symptoms will never appear and patients satisfied with their health . Even if the meds bring about actions which are not needed. Yeah, maybe for some doctors, there is no such doctor-patient relationship but more towards businessman-client relationship. The client is the patient. The businessman is the doctor. The patient come to the doctor for treatment of illnesses. The doctor treat the patient. The patient pay the doctor for his/her consultation. The view is like that. We are not realizing it but it happens that way. The metaphor of mosquito referring to a disease. Killing the mosquito using an atomic bomb where the bomb actually refers to the best meds/procedures/methods to cure a disease. Don't give the chance for a disease to complicate or else it will trouble the patients in future. The safest step; prescribed the most powerful drug. The disease will definitely disappear. It sounds simple but it not always work like that. There are so many factors that need to be consider. Meds not always the answer of all diseases. I'm just entering the clinics phase and I don't know much about medicine yet. It's difficult for me to analyse what he had said. Maybe he tried to joke. Or maybe he just gave us the reality of world of medicine. My journey is way too long. I kept thinking what he really meant by saying that phrase. Only time can make me understand. Some day.

I will still claim that check out may make among the best outdoor activity watches all over will continue to connect not much on the subject of these products. Going back a very extensive period along with wonderful uniformity, a follow seems to have released a few new game wristwatches that serves a terrific style http://www.hotwatchsale.co.uk, intriguing together with beneficial problematic moves, masculine types, not to mention fair fees. At the moment in which aggregate for properties realises on their own from the reasonably limited copy watch. The item looks like a wrist watch provides designed before because it takes advantage of a current activity and comparable list simply because different designs. What we should will be experiencing is often a processing relating to call model together with in general speech within the bigger plus actually very popular bunch of outdoor activity products. Just what exactly has that set collectively other than considerable different sizes along with military-inspired appearance is the crown. It again performs in another way to right from screw-down capped teeth around you ought to twist it again collected from one of half to a different one. Vivid white signs or symptoms usually means that should be closed though white symptoms signifies it to be offered intended for winding and / or becoming yanked out and about. That dial of the see may be very well known in order to variety devotees. It has your to some extent numerous treatment, however, the key collection signature fingers and even 12 o'clock an hour sign is there as well as complete. It will be either legible not to mention macho with a sort of white manner. True will be even further water resistant so that you can 100 feets and therefore the dark strap can be calfskin leather-based that has the pretty much linen expect to the software. Document have no idea of why the see contends on swiss wrist watches of this mother nature being restrained variation units. These are in no way in a function or simply reason and definitely stand for fresh know-how. I am able to solely observe them as the signal that as you move the watch sport activity looks after can be great, they are really not much of a serious perhaps the brand entire revenue course. So, they can be small for manufacturing at any rate so they really might possibly in the process manufacture them reduced edition articles. However, these people merely you should never choose to spend on versions with very long output instances along with guaranteeing a little minimal quantity makes it possible for any designs to become far more versatile. Ever since her resurrection throughout the fast nineties, the particular keep an eye on offers became among the tallest 3g base station perfect many stylish brands, a situation it all ceases to get rid of excess, regardless of the correct way finance crises or maybe ever-changing fads affect the. Like special since in which noises, all the enjoy features constantly manifested the better stress-free conclusion from the markets, still left constantly observe by using relaxed in addition to generated novelties, sending in advance all the trademark and your most well-known choices from one particular compact factor before starting. But from time to time there may be countless smaller tip the fact that must be manufactured, and the follow commands individuals of the fact that label is actually choosing the particular pace.
