What I can say, Doctors are only mere human being. It's only knowledge that differentiates us from normal human being. This knowledge is hard earned. When a family send their children to Medical, they hope he/she will be an asset for future. To fulfill this dream, Boy/girl have to go through a very long struggled life, that never ends until death. Through their service, doctors earn their wages. But many people even take that negatively. In some persons view, doctors are just service man. But he/she is no different than your brother or sister. Sometimes mistakes may happen, but will it enough to cause bodily harm and keeping behind normal social attitudes?
Doctors & Students Rally at Comilla Medical College
Few hours back, We, students and doctors of Comilla Medical College arranged a peaceful rally and showed our voice against the violence against Doctors. Senior teachers including our College principal, vice-principal, departmental heads also participated in this event. Nearly 300+ students and doctors gathered infront of Medical to show our unity against violence. In my memory, in this medical, it's probably the largest gathering which included participants from all political views and classes.

Violence in Comilla Medical College
Today, I just got back from Sylhet after my 3 days auto vacation to Comilla. It was not such an enjoyable journey as bus service is awful and so is road. After a while of arriving, I got the news of Violence against doctors by angry patient attendances in Our Medical college, which effectively injured almost 8 doctors working on the hospital. Our classes has been suspended for tomorrow and there is a rally to be organized by Internee Doctor Association on tomorrow morning.
We all understand that, we all ask for quick attention when we are sick. Working Doctors always have to fall under pressure and have to take the heat. But injuring all 8 of the doctors! That's a shameful act. It's really unlucky for us to be on such position.
Meanwhile, tomorrow and day after tomorrow, there is again 2days nationwide Hortal by BNP. So much to loss, but who cares?

World Malaria Day & Bangladesh
Today's World Malaria Day, an event to mark worldwide conditions and approaches to Malaria. Malaria is a misnomer used to stand for a mosquito borne disease caused Plasmodium group of parasite. Previously thought disease was originated from Area of unhygienic (Mal - Aria) status.
Plasmodium depends of both Human and Mosquito to complete it's life cycle. In human body, depending on its severity and species, it creates Malarial fever to Cerebral malaria (Brain Manifestation), Black water fever and many more complications.
In Bangladesh, it's also creating a number of headache of government policy makers of health sectors. Whole Bangladesh is considered under a Malaria affected zone, but Hill tracts are in special attention. Even before going some area is it's recommended to take Pre-exposure prophylactic anti malarial drug. But even in some cases, there have been evidence of Drug Resistant Malaria. Newer drugs are coming but producing more side effect.
Even excluding the worse, Our hope is rising to control malaria. In our Local Medical Study, Malaria is highlighted much more. Public awareness is also rising & different health sector programs are coming on front line to give effective measures like distributing mosquito nets, insecticides and drugs for free to poor and affected people. Lets hope for Bangladesh to Eliminate the Malaria soon.

New Year Greetings
It's nearly end of the day, Pohela Boishakh 1419. It was quite different this time. I was alone in hostel but passed most of the day with someone very special. Even though Comilla is not a very good place to hangout, still her company made whole day special. Tomorrow our classes are unofficially off as most of the students are still at home. But soon again the classes will run again at full speed. In these days this kind of short vacation and personal time is our only hope of keeping us mentally alive. Good night everyone.
Regards,

Weather Change, Rain & Hostel life..
Comilla Medical College Hostel Ground on A Rain |
This is particularly a useless blog post. Last two days were little bit different. It's nearly the end of bangla year 1418, and bangla new year (aka Pohela Boishakh) is approching quickly.. Sound of changes in the air! There is notiable change in weather, sharply marked by all on a sudden storm plus rain, wind & thunder (what I say, thunder is more in Comilla), in bangla word, Kal Boishakhi. Sudden changes are also bringing minor health problems like sneezing, seasonal allergies, cough, fever etc etc. Still hostel boys are restless soul, doing less homework & playing more football in muddy ground & planing for little party with our own deshi Khichuri. Oh boy, I can't resist myself from loving the hostel life. :-)

Scrubs & Medical life..
Last two days, I've been so busy. 5th year classes are running so tight right now that we bearly have time to breath on day time. Night period is still quite free, but it won't be for long as ward placement rotation will so take me to busy wards. It the mean time, I was watching Scrubs, a medical life related comedy serials. It has 181 episodes, on 9 seasons. It's not something new, aired from 2001 to 2010, but most of the stories still relates to ours. I guess, medical life never changes too much. Day after day restless life, getting treated badly, sometimes your luck don't do you favor, troublesome personal life, making tough decisions and facing the consequences, choosing between morality and business, that all in it! One thing I liked from it is though it's a comedy, and shows us how to deal with hard moments of life, how to get fun from it and how to stay young in mind.
Don't take that personally if you're a person from an different professional background, our life is much harder than it looks like. Much harder than anyone outside can feel. Trust me, it really do. But still we live, to see another day, sometimes sadly, sometimes happily.
