Who is a Doctor and who can hold the Title Dr.?

Who is a Doctor and who can hold the Title Dr.?

This is a reproduction from New York Times
Being myself a Medical Person D.P.T.O (Do not Practice and Teach Only) who can use this two letters and the dot for many reasons, avoid using it, doctor part in my life for the last 10 years and it has made my life very easy and simple.
In fact on of my neighbors asked me are you really a doctor to which I smiled and did not give an answer, making him more confused.
Most of the guys/girls who know me come for second opinion, I am more than willing to oblige.
But free of charge and they do get better with simple remedies.
I have few emergency tablets in my purse always for such and eventuality, just in case.
I totally agree with this gentleman and I am more than grateful to him for bringing to notice what ever the PhD one holds if it is not relevant to the (if it is not germane to the holder’s primary current occupation) post currently holding it should not be used as a label of distinction.
After all the PhD may be 30 years old and disproved by at least three times  over that period of time  if it was a good one to tag one’s own thesis.
I am in fact currently finishing a book (which actually was a 10 year research work ) and I have decided  not to put that for PhD referral or title and would share it with the general public.
If somebody gives a PhD posthumously for this creative work , the funeral director can put a single copy in my coffin before cremation so that it goes to heaven or hell with me.
Who’s a Dr.?
Our continued use of courtesy titles — increasingly rare in the news media — prompts many questions. Rules on the use of “Dr.” in particular can lead to confusion, for readers and unfortunately sometimes for our writers. Here’s our style book entry:
Dr. should be used in all references for physicians and dentists whose practice is their primary current occupation, or who work in a closely related field, like medical writing, research or pharmaceutical manufacturing: Dr. Alex E. Baranek; Dr. Baranek; the doctor. (Those who practice only incidentally, or not at all, should be called Mr., Ms., Miss or Mrs.) Anyone else with an earned doctorate, like a Ph.D. degree, may request the title, but only if it is germane to the holder’s primary current occupation (academic, for example, or laboratory research).
For a Ph.D., the title should appear only in second and later references. The holder of a Ph.D. or equivalent degree may also choose not to use the title.
Do not use the title for someone whose doctorate is honorary.

Demise of Prof. Senaka Bible is a conspiracy

Demise of Prof. Senaka Bible is a conspiracy

This is a reproduction and I tend to believe the circumstances.
The story then was the poison was put in wine by an air hostess and there was inadvertent delay in seeking medical aid.

The same company conduct an annual oration in his name (good old American Methodology, similar to Area 51).

He was my teacher and he is probably reborn in a another alien planet and I believe aliens have advised him not to visit this planet again.

Professor Bibile died in 1977 at Guyana, under mysterious circumstances. 

The section regarding his death is being consistently removed from Wikipedia by an unknown entity, each time someone updates it.
It is a well known 'secret' that Dr Bibile was murdered by inducing cardiac arrest using a drug(s) that has been available, even before second world war. 

One of his colleagues were involved in the murder to ensure that he would not recover from the 'heart attack' by not taking prompt action as well as taking the wrong cause of action as well as a delayed cause of action to recover him. 

As a matter of fact, this doctor colleague of doctor Bibile from UNO, asked Mrs Bibile for her forgiveness for letting him die that way, implying that he was simply a tool for corrupted multinational drug companies, in which she replied, "If you can bring him back, then I will forgive you". 
Known multinational pharmaceutical companies were involved in Professor Bibile's murder. 

 
The truth will come out one day as it happens all the time.

No Dog for Christmas

No Dog for Christmas


I should rephrase it no “Puppy as a gift” for Christmas.

If you really love puppies please download Puppy Linux;
 
The creator of this Linux distribution is a real dog lover.
 
Not only that Puppy Linux is Puppy size (one need to have some understanding about Linux, though) but loaded with utilities.

I can have a list of reasons of more than 20 but on top are two real life stories.

This happened more than 30 years in the United Kingdom.

I was heavily involved with Neonatal Paediatric care then.
 
I was on weekend off and listening to some music (Terry Vogan was my favourite Irish announcer) and radio (not Terry) announced the tragic death of a baby few days old (the day the happy family brought the baby home), mauled to death by the owners pet dog. 

The police came an shot the dog but the baby did not survive.

The bottom line is the dogs can be extremely jealous of a new comer, including babies.

This happened about 10 days before Christmas and that was the only Christmas that I could not blend with the Christmas spirit.

All throughout the festive season the message was relayed "No Puppy as a pet, if one cannot care for".

Underline theme was that baby care is full time job and dog care is no different.

The bone of contention here is, the doctor/s could have visited the house and made some investigations of the suitability of the house for a newborn baby with an adult dog.

The second incident was, one of my old (80 plus) professors forearm was torn to pieces and needed over 40 stitches.

He was terrified and the dog, his own, was not killed but transferred to a suitable foster home.

He was living alone and we never investigated the reason for the attack.

So my recommendation;
 
One has to be 40 to 45 years (does not matter one is married or not) old, to properly care for dog who lives till the owner is 60 plus and showing all the signs of old age disabilities.

This the crisis period in life, the children are teens and won't listen to you.
 
The dog is an outlet to divert ones attention from growing but rebellious kids.

The paradox is the children also use the dog as a “Punching Bag” to let their frustration out.

For a single man or women (the success or failure in career is immaterial) it is good companion.

To brag about the dog (if successful in career) not the career in office.

The dog lives 15 to 20 years and for a single man /woman walking the dog (for the last 15 years of one's life) is a good antidote for intermittent exogenous depression (not for the endogenous depression,one needs proper treatment).

Besides, the dog ages fast and it is a preview of ones old age chronic illnesses, including arthritis, cataract, diabetes, obesity, gout and many more.

Mind you dog care is more expensive than medical care in USA/UK and France. 

Best advice is not have a dog at all if YOU do not have Money and Time! 

Please do not be enticed by the Christmas films involving dogs but enjoy the film instead.

Punchlines, Punch Bags (Boxing Bags). Punch Balls, Kick Bags and Kickbacks with Punch and Judy

Election is all over and every conceivable lie had being utilized for gains.

It is miracle that I survived without hearing loss since the decibel range was higher than the pitch I was used to.

Sometimes I think it is a blessing to be either deaf or blind or both.

Since I am not either this is to revive Punch and Judy not in his style but in boxing style.

It is strange to note that Punch and Judy characters never used Boxer the kids friendly dog nor the the real boxing characters like Cassius Clay (Mohammed Ali), probably fearing American backlash.

I am writing this not expecting any kickbacks from any living soul or any British soul sent to hell by Punch but I have to use English for the strength of the Punch but in boxing style.

I am not even light weight and not even super flyweight to have the physical (I was super bantamweight when I was abroad and having being here for over 5 years gone below the fly weight category without even having a crash course in dieting) presence felt in the ring.

I have to use the English punchlines (send our Buddhist MPs including monks to heaven – not to hell like in UK for them to evoke blessing for the millions of voters who are practically missing a meal-according to health Ministry statistics; they never starve; they actually follow the Buddhist monks principle of eating once a day to go to heaven since Ceylon is not the heaven or paradise that it was known to be) instead for posterity.

The boxing categories including light weight was used by me to address the issue I have with the Microsoft / Open Office Office Package/s which is /are always super heavyweight and tax my computer's limited resources including RAM.

Since I use Linux for my work I do many things (unlike Microsoft Windows) once at the same time (watching Football World Cup-not cricket now- do a distribution download while I do some pep writings like this) and the speed is a factor I rely for efficiency.

I use Abiword Light sometime which is portable too.

I have extended this to my Linux100 writing elsewhere in the Google’s blogspot- just type asoka and paraox- you are instantly there and I want the Linux Developers to produce Light Weight (700 MiB. Middle Weight is 1700 MiB and anything above is Heavy Weight (especially the commercial versions that tax resources even at boot time) and sometimes useless to say the least.

Just to take some respite from somewhat taxing job (100 is a big issue at my age, even though I have already 200 distributions in my USB hard disc) of testing and writing reviews for the wider web users.

I take life at an easy pace now!

To begin with my Punch Code (in computer terminology) we must have a nurse and a doctor appointed to the parliament.

The should weigh all new MPs (do not do that with the old foxes they are too heavy that the spring of the balance will break without any spring of surprises) now and every three months over the next 6 years and send that data to the Central Bank / World Bank and the WHO (Sinhalen whoooo) as real data.

They must be categorized according to the weight class of the boxers and see how they progress from flyweight to super heavyweight both in weight and money in no time.

Real progress of the country.

My argument for this is that our parliament truly represents the wishes of the population in real terms and numbers. 

It truly feel the pulse of the people and rule of the law but not the rulers image.

If we have donkeys in this country surely they should be represented there.

Then we must have an annual contest in front of the Diyawana Oya and get Indian actors to come and face them weight by weight.

Our voters can be used as the Punch Bags or Boxing Bag (it is done almost everyday if you look at the government TV Channel).

It is worth while that they must send a random sample of weight from school leavers for comparison.

But I think that is a waste since our Central Bank has the knack of manipulating any real data into abstruse elements for it to be presented at the Budget at any time of the day or night or if necessary for IMF’s consumption.

 

But my real punch line is not for the new MPs.

It is for the Ministers who were newly appointed.

It looks as if they are used as the Punch Bags especially the Foreign Minister.

I do not wish who uses them as the Punch Bags.

It is a top secret except for one who is always vociferous in Sinhala for the cameras and destroy anything foreign except the oil he wears on his head.

If seems that boxers use kick balls and kick bags.

I like both of them (kick bag and kick ball) and in football style I can kick them in their vestiges!

American and Ceylon Politics-No difference

Inter-monsoon and inter-political vacuum in America and in Ceylon.
I refuse to talk about Ceylon under military dictator, lest I be beheaded alive, like in the Kandyan Kingdom where I live currently. 
 
This piece is to highlight how uninspiring, the political debate in America. 
 
They are obsessed with Coronavirus, thanks to Singapore Airline's fast service to Europe and America, the Coronavirus becoming an unintended passenger in flight.
 
I am interested in two issues.
 
1. Global Warming
 
2. Sixth extinction.
 
3. Third if I may say, wraps both above in one tight loop, that is water security.
 
I dispense with water first.
 
We did not have the normal rain that comes in September and goes through to early December.
Inter-monsoon is in limbo and I have to water my rooftop garden almost daily. 
 
My guppy fish die of heatstroke, if not for the total surface cover with floating water plants, I have allowed to grow with utmost care.
 
Birds and even dragonfly come to quench the thirst with temperature hovering in the outside world about 85 degrees Fahrenheits.
 
With all these America is eager on shake oil drilling unabated and there is no policy in both Democratic and Republican camps.
 
America including Middle East are the biggest polluters of this globe now overtaken by China with Mega Mania and India closely following.
 
Our rulers are hell bent on Coal Power industry while decimating our rain forest.
 
That is the reality nobody talks in America, Italy and in Vatican and Ceylon.
 
The Coronavirus is the blessings in disguise, that will decimate over 20 million in the next decade  or so and the WHO does not have a population strategy.
 
When human fails mother nature takes over with a vengeance.
 
The sixth extinction is in full gear now.
 
Hold your belt tight in your car or in in flight entertainment in a plane.
 
Planes are the biggest polluters of our air.
 
Thanks to American Air Industry.
 
None of this is discussed by both candidates and CNN and Fox News watching is a waste of time.
 
I am not surprised if Donald Trump has a victory in electoral colleague count.
 
So do not take bets like in Arizona dessert's casinos which is again an another American successful industry..
 
Good Bye and No more blog pieces from me now onwards.
 
I have gone into hibernation with the election results taking more than two months to declare by the Supreme Court of America.
 
What an anticlimax?
