My First Day As A Hospital Manager

My First Day As A Hospital Manager

 

I was appointed as the manager of a private hospital newly acquired by one of my old but rich doctor friends.

He does his consultation only in the latter half of the day and he requested me to go and find the running problems.

 

The old doctor who was over 80 years, did come to the hospital and sat in his chair and started seeing patients, only a few in number.

 

I was not sure he had forgotten that he had sold it outright to my friend or whether he is expecting a job from the new administration or totally demented to understand that he had sold the assets.

 

Anyway, it was a blessing in disguise and I thought of looking at the sanitary facilities.

A little boy came for testing of a urine sample.

 

I volunteered getting the sample and picked him up from his mother’s hand and walked to the toilet with the mother following me closely behind.

I could not enter it with filth coming under the door.

I went looking for another and that was even worse.

I handed over the kid to the mother and was looking for a conservancy labourer (that's how they are called in this blessed land) to order the cleaning job.

Then a guy came in front of me and I quickly figured he was one of them and asked him to do the cleaning.

Then the matron intervened me and said he was fired yesterday.

 

I said never mind.

He is reinstated but “You are fired from this moment”.

 

Then for my bad luck my entire family (only time I had seen the entire family in one place) has come to see me and all of them were sleeping in two bed rooms hastily made one for males one for females.

I went for the back door of the bed room to secure it but before I could reach their, I saw a female attendant was entering through it.

I told her to go home for today and when she comes the next day, bring a letter why she came through that door as an explanation.

The sister intervened and said “she was appointed the very day” and I told her never mind, she goes home.

The sister and the new attendant were snooping on our family instead of looking after the patients.

Or may be the previous occupants may have been screwing them in that room.

 

That is how it operates in Ceylon.

I decided to give a running commentary (report) to the new boss, but did not expect the worst of scenarios to happen.

I related the first story.

He was not moved.

I related the second story.

Before I could finish, his face became blue and he hit the floor, face down.

He was dead or he had a heart attack.

The pressure getting to him. too.

The third he knew that my resignation was coming fast.

I ran to the bed room where my family was resting to say to them “that we are leaving right now”.

That was the first time in my life, I left a patient unattended, mind you my boss and ran home.

With the shame of not attending to my old friend and my boss. I woke up cross with me.

My You, this was a real dream.

It actually illustrates how a hospital is run its day to day affairs.

This is the answer to my friends who asks me “Why I do not see patients in my twilight years”.

It is a stressful job.

Now I enjoy looking after the rooftop garden, and feeding the fish.

Looking at the birds who frequent the little garden is a by product of having a water garden.

They come to clench their thirst and some of them including chameleon gobble my fish.

Dog Sense and My Fear

Dog Sense and My Fear

 

Sunday generally my sphere of activity is wide and uninhibited.

Come Esala Festival it shrinks by design and by default.

I did not think, the sphere of activity shrinking for dogs and applies to Kandy dogs.

 

My general impression was that there are lots of people visiting Kandy and lot of foods thrown away, dogs would have a Gala time, especially the Paraya dogs.

I have been obsessed with a relatively more important topic (I'll come to that in a moment) regarding dogs, I actually never gave a thought to the sphere of activity of dogs.

I did not see any of the entourage of dogs that loiter in our neighborhood today.

I had a very limited agenda today and I went for my “Banana Treat” first.

No Banana.

The Ramazan is over and no demand I thought.

Then I looked round to see the dogs I feed and one already missing and the other one hiding in a corner.

I had to coax her to come for the treat.

There used to be several others dogs whom I do not feed, not really Paraya but with known owners.

My specialty is the Paraya Type.

With my observation of the old dog with one canine and the policemen, I decided to have a special observation tour.

Everywhere, I went, the numbers were small.

The first one I saw was at the Lawyers Office, (as I went in, to take some cash from the till), one healthy one came and marked the entrance with a healthy “pits-burger'.

I recorded it as a lawyer, in previous life, making his routine visit to the court house.

He was brief to the point and in a flash, disappeared.

Then the second one was in poor shape emaciated and was almost hiding in a very low profile.

I saw only one more, worse off than the one before limping (horrified, too) and trying to cross the road, taking the shortest route (avoiding the pedestrian crossing, further up) possible. It almost got knock down by a passing vehicle.

That's it.

Only three for the day.

Immediately, I went into my thinking mode.

My Reasons.

1. Rain NO

2. Firecracker NO

3. Traffic Increase Very unlikely

4. Taken a little Vacation / Holiday- Schools are closed

5. Well Fed Most unlikely

6. Increase of Police Presence Yes

7. Municipality Dog catchers Yes

 

The last point rekindled my worst fear.

 

Yes they are rounded up and dressed for foreigners, especially for Koreans as dinner treat.

 

My previous investigation have discovered that this is the evil period for Kandy dogs, some of them end up as dinner.

I went to the supermarket and bought two leashes (very expensive) for my dog.

Dog lovers keep your dogs leashed for at least two weeks.

Evil doers come at night.

This was what happened to my cat.

It was poisoned with two other dogs.

They collected my cat but not the two dogs, that were poisoned with strychnine.

Kandy municipality has a supply of it.

I know it.

I used to give the order to kill dogs on the behest of my foreign partners.

That was part of my service agreement with them.

I give the order to my PHI and take two days leave.

I do not sleep on those two days.

That is the reality.

Yes, I was a dog lover at home and a dog killer by design.

Tools of Wisdom

Tools of Wisdom

I found a book named “Words of Wisdom” and bought it without glancing through its pages.

Human error and no wisdom at all, on my part, at the time of the purchase.

I read it on my way home and could NOT find a single phrase, that exited creative part of my brain.

It was trapped in a single dogma that suggested that only the divinity has the wisdom and man is devoid of any (? sanity).

It was an appalling misjudgment of mind and its working.

I thought of writing something.

This is what I could come up with.

Mind never minds its own business but always mine its inner mysteries without proper tools of distinction.

If one can find the proper tools, not only one would open the mind to wisdom door but also free the mind from rigid dogmas that hinder its progress through transition.

From dogma to wisdom!

Alien Saga

I think Dr. Steven Greer's disclosure project failed to uncover the finer details.

Linda Moulton Howe at least got us some leads.

“In 1946-1947, the United States had a scientific mission to Antarctica under Admiral Byrd and we had military interaction there with aliens and their saucer craft, like a mini-war.
We lost all of our aircraft.”

- “Stein,” Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst

“At the end of the non-human autopsy film, it said that the brain was different than ours and the internal organs were entirely different.”

- “Stein,” Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst

“The whole craft was like an electronic circuit and the aliens had to be inside the craft with headbands on and their fingertips in control panels in order to complete the electronic circuit to make it fly.”

- “Stein,” Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst

“I know the Soviets had a big craft go over that was like a ‘mothership.’ They tried to shoot it down and the thing shot all the Soviet aircrafts pursuing it right out of the air in only a few seconds using lasers or whatever the extraterrestrial craft’s weapons were.”

- “Stein,” Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst

“I’m sure the CIA would have killed me to prevent my getting out and talking about the classified UFO stuff. We had 26 people to start with in that CIA Project Blue Book and I was the only one that survived and got out because my boss helped me with the phony body cover.”

Ceylon Political Pizza (Rather Pissu or Mania)

Ceylon Political Pizza (Rather Pissu or Mania)

If I do not make some political predictions my friends near and far might think, I have kicked the bucket.

So here, I am, my prediction is (similar to my neutrality during the Cricket Wold Cup) there will be mayhem in this country, the moment the election is declared. 
 

The current relatively quiet atmosphere is artificial.

It is just like “ the calm before the storm”.

My current analysis is better than Sri-Lankan umpires’ decision making on and outside the field.

But it is current for only now but with the fluidity on the ground my predictions might dissipate into thin air in a matter of minutes.

Points I am stressing are the things that will make it more fluid in the the future.

If you are a Sri-Lankan who wish to come for holiday one should think twice before embarking.

A true tourists must reroute ones itinerary well in advance, since there will be violence at all levels including in hotels where politician hide for cover.

1. Point One is Violence.

There will be violence at all levels.

Police will look the other way in political violence worse than the Easter Sunday.

That is their inherent behavior on record in the past and more so in current scenario.

They are less proactive but basically retroactive in response.

a) Unlike in the past, the first violence or killing will be based on religious overtures.

b) The second wave of violence will be on racial grounds.

Both are good cover for politicians of all parties.

c) The of Party Violence, intra and inter party violence will be petty and minimal and will emerge before and after the nomination papers are handed over.

They are minimal for the first time in our history, simply because a) and b) violence strategies have been taken over by the party affiliates of the criminal gangs that operate during election.

Only petty party converts are available for c) category.

Point number Two is Muslim vote.

It will not make a dent this time round.

Partly due to violence and partly due to clerics overtures.

Point Number Three is Tamil Politicians will make a significant dent for all parties.

Tamil politicians have been quite resilient, intelligent and politically realistic.

Their analysis of the political ground realities and I think they can very well determine the wellbeing of our politics.

Kumar David and Rajan Philip from Australia should make full capital of the little window of sanity in politics.

Ratnajeevan Hoole will have no impact this time round.

Number Four is Timing of the Elections.

It has no meaning at all since the polarization has been rigid and already established.

Snap election dream of current president is a non starter.

Number Five is the “Third Force”.

Its steam has evaporated.

Its imputes were hijacked by the current regime and was slowly but surely throttled.

Come election it will be in ashes “not the ashes of Phoenix”.

Number Six is the Crusaders or the New Aspirants of Power

They are the “Jokers in the Pack” headed by Nagananda.

They would do worse than Field Marshal Fonseka.

Number Seven is how many candidates.

There will be candidates to fill the front page of a Sunday Paper.

Ballot paper will be so huge it has to be rolled over several times like a “Toilet Paper”and not a sheet of paper.

Number Eight is the turn over at voting

It will overtake the record of 2015, if the current commissioner is handling it.

Number Nine is the outcome?

My current estimate is nobody will get the required 50%.

This is the only prediction, I will get absolutely correct.

Number Ten, what would the Current Commissioner should do before the election.

He should resign before a snap election is declared by the current incumbent after all Esala Pereharas are over.

My guess is that the current president won’t have any crowd gathering Public Meetings left for him and if he waits any longer, he will even lose the deposit.

The election commissioner would sure get a heart attack trying to balance the 50% from “Second Vote Counting” and only way to avoid that scenario is to retire in “Good Spirit” since everybody including politicians like this amiable personality.

He is a national asset. 

He will do a good job as a “Future President” elected by the members of the Parliament, if a new constitution is formulated on those lines saving colossal wastage of public money to elect a president.

All these guys wanted to abolish it in 2015 but none of them acted on that promise.

On that ground alone one should be disqualified to hold that post or reelected again!

That is the paradox of our politics.

PS. Sorry for not writing anything about J.V.P. 
It will be an ex-party!

Cricket not so Lovely

Cricket not so Lovely
In this World Cup we have witnessed

1. Two Days of a "One Day" match between India and NZ

2. A six in the final that went rolling on the ground

3. NZ losing the final by "ZERO RUNS" and "ZERO WICKETS"

4. An Irishman lifting the World Cup for England

5. A final decided by a weird rule and the worst umpiring

6. First time ever in cricket a team never won a match by runs or wickets but by a rule

Congrats ICC for the greatest ever comedy show!

As someone said, cricket is a FUNNY GAME.

Review and Revision of Cricket Rules and Regulations

Review and Revision of Cricket Rules and Regulations

Even though, I remained neutral throughout the Cricket World Cup, I made a very big mistake in my assumptions.

That is because, I failed to recognize, how the “Super Over” will make Cricket Cup Final a mockery filled with errors of judgment.

No fault of players at all but Sri-Lankan umpires and referee were at fault.

Unfortunately, South African umpire did not rectify it.

My assumption was umpires would make mistakes but in a 50 over game a team or captain can make amends.

I agree fully with Simon Taufel, the Australian umpire that the Sri-Lankan umpires and referees made gross misjudgment and wrong interpretation of the regulations.

Awarding six for five was wrong.

The fact, they did not check whether the batman had crossed was not a human error.

They had videos to view and ample time to make decisions.

My belief is that, they penalized New Zealand and favoured England to make sure that their umpire posts and referee posts are secured and extended for life.

These (umpire and referee appointments) decisions are made in UK and not in New Zealand, so they connived.

It is time for current referee to resign and ICC to make rolling appointments, instead of fixed appointments, especially if there is a case of error in judgment or negligence (not a human error).

Super Six is a Big Joke and a strain on already tired players.

It is not like penalties in football (instead a half a day play to 90 minutes in football).

When tied the Cup Should be shared to bring Glory to Cricket, its players and spectators.

Sharing should not be alien to any sport.

Only politicians and power hungry leaders do not want to share.

That is the trademark of politics. 

Umpires and referees should not be political (to save the job for life).

Country Without Vision

Country Without Vision

Our country is blessed with natural beauty.

To begin with it is not land locked but L.T.T.E wanted artificial borders to administer with Indian hegemony and secret service, RAW creating and helping it.

Currently under the aegis of lunatic fringes of sand stormed countries wanted it segregated and become political and religious desert. There are no democracies in these sand stormed countries with arcane laws, an antitheses common law.

We have four or five religions, none of them I call as great, since they are practiced in negative sense.

All of them have few positive but many negative social ingredients and we only extract negative ingredients including hate to practice.

Some counties in Asia with sand storm and no rain for over 10 years, the inhabitants are running away from advancing desert looking pastures for domesticated animals.

We have dry seasons but no arid zones.

We are near the equator with sunshine and rain year round.

In spite of all these blessings, gradually the rain is failing and patches of arid lands are forming affecting our majestic elephants.

China is the only country which has vigorous policy against desertification of land.

This is all due to felling of trees and commercially non viable agriculture (mono-culture-rice is one of them) policy started by C.P. De Silva and vigorously exploited in the last 10 years by the previous regime (especially cutting trees for timber without a replanting schedule).

Our biodiversity and forests are disappearing fast, thanks to tea industry and recently banana growing for Americans.

Banana and many of the exotic plants (cashew, pomegranate and soursop, included) were brought in by European invaders.

Banana plant is the most invasive plant and one cannot even grow another banana plant in a place where soil resources are exhausted in one or two seasons.

Then we add excess of poisonous fertilizer with all the heavy metals percolating into the rivers and lakes.

One cannot find even Guppy fish in Kandy (this is due to the detergents escaping from the washing machines of domestic use) water paddles collected in the city soon after heavy rain.

The detergents poison gills of fish and they suffocate in ten minutes.

Our only safety valve to control mosquito menace is decimated. 

 

Kunu Ela rightly named by me as Condom Ela, one can see underwear and condoms (in addition to diesel) floating and they get trapped in the water intake of Kandy city purification plant.

All these we call progressive steps.

What we lack is politicians who could mange problems in a cohesive manner.

Can the “Third Force” take these problems including corruption?

That is the million dollar question?

Maha Brahma and his Dog

Maha Brahma and his Dog

This story was related to me by one of my yesteryear friends, not a doc but a dog now in high heaven.

I am well versed from the time of Maha Brahma’s Assistant who was a Kandy dog frequenting rubbish bins in Kandy including Malwatta temple and by some clever means twisted the arm of the Maha Brahma and managed to get the present post.

I knew the dog well and once in a way he sends me an errand of some sort by email. I cannot send any email to him because it is not permitted by law of the heaven for human to send email direct but there is no restriction of outgoing email from heaven, though, very randomly. I am told they use a type of Linux distribution where in the tradition incognito the log, memory and search routes and rules are erased without a trace.
I am trying to crack this and get some stories for earthling and I cannot wait till the next Buddha’s time and appearance which is eons away.
As a form of grace they release some random stories and I have the privilege of knowing the dog first and the current Brahma’s Assistant and by that virtue a few of the stories circulating in heaven.
The story predates his time (present Assistant) and this time it was a Pedigree Dog.
This pedigree dog was resident of a demented man who was politician of yesteryear.
He was demented because of his bounty of alcohol when in and out of power. But sadly he lived up to ripe old age of nineties, physically well but mentally demented.
The dog died soon after the master’s demise but because of his virtues and because he happened to reach heaven at the time of our New Year holiday, he was put on the waiting list.
There were quite a number of dogs who reached there at the very same instant.
Maha Brahma without an assistant, then had a great difficulty in selecting the correct protocol and the correct next round of births that they deserve.
Because this dog came from high office on earth he was very well noted by the Maha Brahma for extra credit.
Maha has a set of standard questions and it is very difficult to outsmart him.
He did not leave the demented politician now completely neglected by his party members, family members and the like but this faithful dog was with his master till his last few seconds on earth.
My friend told me not to disclose where about of this politician now but suffice is to say much less honourable quarters than his favorite dog.
In his conversation with Maha this dog had lot of questions from the Master Being.
The pedigree dog could not understand why the behaviour of his master changed in latter stages of his life with dementia who could not remember the dog’s name and used to call various odd names and forgot to feed him or fleece him.
He was very cross, telling Maha it was very unfair for a dog to be with a human in that stage of life and state and why only humans get demented and not dogs barring of course hydrophobia.
Maha did not have a suitable answer and he was impressed by this dogs devotion to his master when all earthlings deserted him high and dry including doctors.
There were lot of other dogs of lowly human settings including beggars, humbugs and the lot, Maha was pushed up to his neck and told the pedigree dog to wait for another day for a change and he could become his dog for a day and stay with him overnight.
This he could not decline.
He was so pleased with the offer did not bother the Master Being for even an overnight meal and went to sleep like a log.
Maha had other ideas and wanted to observe and test him before offering the next round of birth, the next day.
But he lost his first opportunity and in any case for his calm demeanor Maha was highly impressed.
The next day also Maha went on with his mundane routine affairs and was not ready with a place for our pedigree dog. That day was the same result, the pedigree dog that day went into dream mode thinking what a nice place he is going to get the next day.
This went on for a week and for some unknown reason Brahma had hit high on this week and was finding easy with his decision making.
In fact, Brahma was enjoying his company which was docile but very pleasant.
It was the same with the dog who had a very painful last few months on earth with the demented politician.
So he became less chatty and never asked any favours from the new master the Master Being himself.
Master also never offered a new lease or round of births by default.
Well Maha also knew one day when his term of office ends like the politician and when he has to go “he has to go” and he did not want to go alone.
Master needed a companion.
So the Maha and his dog came into being and they got eons to go.
So do not ever think of becoming the master’s dog or the master’s assistant.
 
They are on eternal holiday without fire crackers and assistant is doing the mundane rounds without a break (he loves it though being a descendant of Paraya or the stray dog clan).
In my case, I am looking for post of the server manager in heaven with my experience in hell this may lead to better and faster Linux Protocol and Administration there in heaven.

I.P.L, Cricket,Politics and Money

I.P.L, Cricket,Politics and Money

I.P.L., Cricket,Politics and Money.

I made few decisions sometime ago and they were the right decisions and I spend more time on Linux and Linux games now instead of cricket.

One of these decisions was to not to write about Sri-Lankan cricket.

Cricket Administration (Sri-Lankan) was so rotten and digging its dirty linen in public was not my intention and let mediocre journalists do that for their own living.

Second was I will watch only when it is played in good spirit and irrespective of the side to or the country one belongs when a player plays a good innings enjoy the moment and praise the praiseworthy and condemn the bad acts.

I am not Jeffry Boycott and I love listening to him on the BBC radio like terry Vaughan the Irishman.

Mind you there is an Irishman playing cricket in a flamboyant one day style English Team.

Can you believe that?

He always says don’t be diplomatic and his Yorkshire humour reminds me of the my Yorkshire time, which was very pleasant.

What it means is do not be partisan or make political capital out of cricket like the cheap Indian and Sri-Lankan soap opera (yesteryear) actors turned politicians.

I also hate people who take up politics while wielding a cricket bat and we have ample in this country.

I may sound anti-Sri-Lankan (I am anti-politician, does not matter which side they are in, who are corrupt to the core) too but that is my nature.

I may sound anti-Indian and but certainly not in Cricket and one example will clear any doubts.

There are many but I will state only one.

When Vivendra Shrawag, one of my favorite opening batsmen was denied a century by letting 4 byes and balling a noball next (all three of them are in our Sri-Lankan Team currently and it is a shame) and when his sixer was not allowed or counted, within seconds I vented my anger and blogged it.

This match was played in preparation for the world cup and we were the least prepared team then and it was wonder we came that far afterward.

That is the lowest we have gone (on the field and off the field must be too numerous to mention from selection to ground preparations) and on that count alone we did not deserve to win the world cup.

There are many including a bogus doctor looking after our team and many political insinuations.

The second incident was when Andrew Srauss played a brilliant innings and match was drawn in the Wold cup.

I said, a Star of Wonder was born for England and everybody was prepared to dish him out of cricket after their elimination at our hands in the world cup.

He may not be a brilliant tactician but a very good cricketer and today he proved beyond any doubt (by beating India comprehensively) that he is a test class player.

Now coming to what happened to India?

Many will be written in India but I will be brief.

It is the IPL which started the rot.

There was easy entry for Indian (Pakistani too) businessmen and bookies who were only interested in money spinning that ruined the cricket in general and Indian cricket particularly.

In this context Ravi Bopara’s act of not accepting the IPL should be commendable.

The second factor is too much of cricket and ICC should take the full blame for it (the CEOs also looking at money but not players welfare).

I feel sorry for Shrawag, Dravid and Tendukar (they have done enough for Indian cricket) but not for the rest of the team or on the bench who came up from IPL ranking and showing how good they are to the world. 

I have no sympathy for Dhoni too. 

He has to take the blame for not saying enough to BCCI and standing up to them and saying my warriors are battle fatigued and they need a decent rest in between major fixtures.

That is his crime.

I cannot forgive him for that error of judgment.

IPL in essence ruined our cricketers (Sri-Lankan) and our young prospects too and we won’t recover for decades.

That I do not care.

We present Sri-Lankan who cannot even fill a form in English at an airport love to have air ticket free and money on the sly, often illegal foreign exchange and lot of other dealing besides cricket (that include journalists, commentators and perhaps umpires too if not cricketers and their affiliated guys and girls).

What we need is national integration not too much of cricket or too much Sinhala jubilation’s.

I thank gods for losing the Worlds Cup (we made billions of Indians happy) and in England.

If we won our politicians will be basking in sunshine and doing sweet nothing for corruption at all levels.

They have to work hard and show the voters that they are worth the 5 years pension they get for doing sweet nothing for five years.

I.P.L. Cricket, Film Stars, Politics and Money

Politics and Money have ruined Gentleman’s Cricket, as it was known in the past.

I.C.C. CEO’s did not see it coming or did not wish to see it that way, anyway.

Final nail in the coffin was sending young cricketers to prison.

There was no rehabilitation for players.

Banning them for life or sending them to prison won’t solve any of the problems now ingrained in cricket.

It will worsen and young blood with correct frame of mind will not contemplate cricket as a career.

It is not worth the trouble.

In this background England will become the best test playing country.

But it has no meaning to Indians who are cricket fanatics.

Ultimately test cricket will also die a natural death.

What is happening in Australia is the dress rehearsal for test cricket.

It happened to great West Indies.

It will happen to India.

It has already happened to Sri-Lanka.

In Ceylon what ruined can be put in two words.

Politics and Money.

In India it were I.P.L, Film Stars and book makers.

I.P.L is an embodiment of money and the corruption that goes with it.

I saw it coming and stop watching cricket at all.

It is a blessing in disguise and I could now concentrate more on other vices.

Watching New Zealand Rugby more entertaining that cricket.

R.I.P for cricket in Asia.

Unfortunately, I have to say this before the Asia Cup.

If anybody watches these games he or she has to get his/her mind tested by a psychologist who does not understand what is cricket.

We all had this disease and thank god I am fully cured due to our politicians.

When politicians take control of sports there is no turnaround.

It will remain corrupt to the core and become more and more corrupt.
