Professor Senaka Bibile Reborn
This is my next book, since I am finishing my 5 books, soon.
I only listened to 5 lectures by him.
But my real mentor was Professor George E. Tennakoon.
Then he moved to SPC and I lost track of him and Pharmacology, altogether.
If I remember right, he did a random study on Vit C and හෙම්බිරිස්සාව.
I was on the control side.
I went on with my Army Drill at University Hockey Grounds during this study period daily finishing with climbing the rope at Gymnasium.
He said there is no difference whether I take Vit C or not but I continued to advocate Vit C since, I did not understand the logic of statistics until I did my own research at the age of 55.
This SAGA or my connection with my Alma Mator ended up, finishing the "Swimming Pool" long postponed due to wrong contractual arrangements.
I never had a dip.
Two weeks after retirement I was walking back home from the University Grounds and I wanted to have a peep of the Swimming Pool but it was closed.
I never went to the University again, having left a note with the VC to say do not bother to invite me for any Official Function.
On a different issue, I preferred handkerchief to tissues since one need not cut trees to produce tissues, if one is using a cotton handkerchief.
The advantage is I clean the handkerchief everyday and 7 handkerchiefs are enough for a weak which I continue to do to this day.
Of course, surgical type of hand washings is ingrained in me.
Then on a different issue prevalent in the public domain where one should not take a bath while having the symptoms of flu, I did have a bath before during and after to keep myself clean and to prove to my mother that folklore do not deter me doing things, I wanted to do.
I need a bath after physical workout.
My daily workout in the university was the Army Drill.
Then, of course, I did not lose touch with the Traditional Medicine and the effort muted by CMC of Professor APR Aluwihare's practical attempt to integrate the clinical settings of both Traditional and Western Medicine in KMC's Free Consultation Outlets.
I am not sure these outlets they are still functional.
I was born before Ventolin and Antibiotics.
How I survived was a mystery.
My grand father was a Bare Foot Doctor.
සිංහලෙන් සැනිටරි ඉනක්ස්පෙක්ටර්.
He was the only Sanitary Inspector who did house to house inspection dressed in British Tie and Coat garment.
Me adopting English dress etiquette was natural progression and me ending up as a Medical Man is no accident. It was already designed in my Maternal Family Tree.
Coming to traditional medicine, ඉගූරු කොත්තමල්ලි steam bath inhalation was the best Upper Respiratory treatment available before the Oxygen Face Mask and Ventolin and Terbutalin and stand alone Inhalers to portable inhaler units.
The idea was to avoid Amniophylline IV infusion which is very risky with myocardial arrhythmias.
Still on traditional Medicine, one of my maternal uncles (I think my allergic manifestations come from my father's side) was asthmatic and single.
My grand father was a crook.
I come to him later.
My father unlike my grandfather looked after all his brothers neglected by grandfather until all of them got a government jobs. None (uncles) of them except me helped my father (I was in UK on full-time jobs) when he was down and under.
Coming to my poor uncle in total Respiratory Incompetence "ආඩතෝඩ" inhalation was the last resort treatment or death. He was in our house for weeks on end and suffice is to say as kids we were neglected by my father.
If not for my mother, I would have kicked the bucket in childhood. That is why I looked after my mother until 91 plus.
It was not a big deal, whole family contributed and I was the full-time coordinator.
It came to a point he had to mind himself and his boutique in Elkaduwa.
He eventually died and it was my second funeral visit after my maternal grandfather.
Two points of Medical Interests before dishing out my grandfather the crook.
1. Point One
I discovered Ventolin or its precursor was extracted from ආඩතෝඩ.
Then there were a series of medical material extracted from ඒළ බටු to තිත්ත බටු to බටු.
My interest that was ignited by ආ ඩ තෝ ඩ ended me writing a book of Exotic Plants of Ceylon. It is only of 250 pages but my real Botanical Tabulation is hindering the final outcome.
I gave up at that point and concentrated on my other books.
The bottom line is 99% of the Western Medicines are pure extracts of plant products.
2. Point Two
This is my medical input and I have some grouse with Dr. Anthony Fausi on this issue regarding Face Mask and other things.
Now few words about my memory.
Professor K. Jayasena the name I could not bring out from my memory.
Other name was David Icke.
Before I forget I need to make some poignant points about a totally corrupt petsonality.
Unfortunately, he was my paternal grandfather who I hated from my childhood.
That was relevant to my father's understanding of his own children.
He was crook.
He was stingy.
He was a ladies man.
He used his governmental power keg to abuse and "legally acquire" land around his land.
I was sent there to hide when police was looking for me after smashing the glass windows of the aristocratic family. It was a deleberste aim of the cricket ball off the bat and to the glass window.
It was not an accident.
I was "පොල් අඩි" guy in school and on that ground I was not allowed to play for the class team. I wanted the ball to be lost so that I could concentrate on my class work.
I did not attend the school to play cricket was my bone of contention.
I cannot remeber what provokef me to aim at a particular house but may have been some simple altercation.
I think the Diya Wadena Nilme Nugawela of the time came from that aristocratic family.
He married several times.
He had extramarital affairs.
He had many diseases related to sex.
In other words Venereal Diseases (VD).
Chronic Gonococcal infection causes urethriris and ultimately urethral obtruction, especial during Preantibiotic Era.
He finally ended up with a urinary catheter.
With his background my preliminary diagnosis was nothing but VD caused his urethral obstruction.
The point is not his illness but I had to do all nursing things including taking him to Kandy Civil Hospital.
He was very smelly.
After the third time I refused.
He eventually died.
It was a big family.
One of his brothers was a drunkard and he ended as cirrhotic.
I had to look after him, also.
After the third I refused to take him to hospital. Besides, he had an able son.
He also eventually died.
I have to carry the funeral wreath from Kandy to Elkaduwa, too.
To this day I hate the look of "Funeral Wreaths".
What is the big idea of having a wreath after death?
If one does a retrospective study on venereal diseses and syphlis during Preantibiotic Era on any country, it always ends up with royaltues and their close assiciates.
If is a roregone and fundamental conclusion.
In our time "One" need to do a case study on each diagnosed case and identify the original sources.
King or Queen would be the outcome.
After the age of 16, I refused everything except looking after my sisters' welfare.
Everyone feared me that was due my action at the age 7. A homosexual guy was boasting of his vices.
I marked him for an impending assault.
I kicked his balls and dumped him to a drain. He disappeared and I never saw him again.
This basically was the biological "Survival Instinct".
Nobody crossed through my Freedom after that incident.
Ampitiya was infested with thugs and petty murderers.
"කැත්ත" or "කඩුව" or "කිරිච්චිය" were the murder wespons. They knew where to attack. Incidentally my first case in Ratnapura hospital was kris knife attack that cut the abdominal aorta.
I remeber we cross matched over 22 pints of blood and saved his life.
For what purpose, I question now?
May be to becone a cardiac surgeon.
It is unbelievable that Ampitiya now is habitable place, one can wonder freely but the population has expanded out to Katawala, Marassana, Thalatuoya, Gurudeniya and Haragama.
Anagiratne the famous satirist comes from Marassana.
Simon Navagattegama and his drama I did like a little bit. But when he became political I stopped watching them long before Nanada Makanie became a political singer.
You can understand my teenage time.
I had a national boxer shadowing me.
He became an engineer.
I became a doctor.
I still need substantial help if I was provoked unnecessarily.
However, I am very mindful of my anger and explosiveness. I do not try to subdue the anger but I have stopped HATING individuals, I do not like especially political.
Satire is no more even politically.
I have a Rebirth Ploy.
I DO Not wish them to be seen in my Next Life.
I already have a mental sketch of them. There is no paper trail of those individuals.
Some of these habits I think I acquired from Professor Senaka Bibile including wearing the simple bush shirt.
Then again Dr. Palitha Abeykoon and Professor Malcolm Fernando got us involved in Kaduganmwa Survey which I enjoyed visiting remote villages in Kandy.
I left the scientific part to the last.
This is about Face Mask and has nothing to do with Anthony Fausi.
I am ambivalent of the use of Face Mask.
I do not believe it prevents spread of diseases.
On the other hand it becomes a "vector" and burden on waste disposal.
Its use as a part of the surgical garment is acceptable. I have assisted cardic sugery over 11 hours. When my legs ache, I used to say shall we have a cuppa.
I had another strategy.
Before scrubbing up, I tell my Ward Senior Nurse please call me back exactly at a particular time to finish my daily routine.
That relieved me from surgical assitance job.
Now what is important is the size of the particle and certain viral particles go through the mask and reach the lungs.
1. Big particles are trapped in the mask.
2. Particles of certain size are trapped by the ciliary epithelium of the upper respiratory tract.
3. Tiny particles reach the lungs and ccause diseases including Emphysema.
They are under 5000nm (nano meters) and include
Measles
Coronavirus
Some infuenza viruses.
Mind you there over 100 respiratory viruses per year in UK.
4. The spread tend to occur before the symotoms manifest.
5. Best defense is to stay at home with early signs and symptoms. It is humanly impossible until one retires.
6. Plane flights even under 2hours is enough to contract viral infections.
7. Singapore Airline was the major spreader of the coronavirus.
Do a Video Conference instead of Air Travel for mundane Stuff.
8. You could now see that Anthony Fausi was the biggest Scientific CHEAT.
Teldeniya where our Buddha was born is a place which king Geirge VI wanted to sink under water of Bowatenna. Queen Elizebath completed the task.

Abuse of the fine on exotic fish caught was the major political catastrophe for our seabed.
Destruction of coral reef barrier
Effect of our beach
Erosion and advancing sea front.
Mitigation has to be proactive
Ecological disaster
Rcovery may take 30 years or more.
Some recover quickly.
Some species are lost for ever.
Once a species is lost they never recover.
That is the bottom line.

7. Lal Wijenayake
Lal Wijenayake has given a YouTube presentation in regard to his position on extensive (Puppet on a String ploy of NPP /JVP) of duration of the post of Chief Justice. He almost agrees that referendum is necessary but I say it is Mandatory.
I think Lal Wijenayake next in line joined as the NPP/JVP coordinator and preventing this Chief of LSSP post being filled, under JVP duress.
I believe, he has no backbone and holding posts in two parties.
One cannot be a Member of two Parties one and the same time.
This is the ultimate death of LSSP.
අනිච්චාවත සංකාරා!
M. R. I. which functioned badly under him.
I worked there for only 6 weeks under compulsion by Miss Doris Peiris my boss in Colombo General. I reported all the wrong doings at the MRI and also at CGH while sorting out all the blood films for her to review.
One day, I told her I got a good case for you.
What?
Red Cell Leukemia
Do not con.
For 40 years I have seen none.
She confirmed it.
After thuw case, she said: once you finish the days work you can go anywhere you want.
I used to go to Colombo Medical Library and read all the reference material.
Soon after that I left to UK.
I did a locum for a Ceylonese Hematologist but he did not short list me for the post.
I blasted him on our Ceylonese Doctors Party "Not" on broad day light but under dim lights. Nobody knew me who I was except one Dr. C. S. Nanayakkara.
I was the only Peradeniya Graduate on that occasion in that Party.
I could slip out after one pint of beer.
That is my maximum while in UK.
They used to bully me like a kid.
I gradually moved myself to Wine and I did not know which Wine, White or Red or Sparkling goes with the meal, fish, chicken and beef.
Then I moved into making Wine from තැඹිලි in පැනිදෙණිය without Yeast.
I did not tell them, I was a Very Special Old Arrack (V. S. O. A.) Guy.
That is my connection to Dr. N. M. Perera.
I called him පේ රේ රා the best Arrack on town.
Then, Keerthi Premaratne the brother of Dr. Asoka Premaratne brings me a quarter bottle of VSOA on monthly basis until I stopped drinking arrack and transferred to Wine.
Professor Senaka Bibile was a member of LSSP
C. P. in 1943
Leader Dr. S. A. Wickramasinghe
කොමුයුනිස් පක්ෂය
In essence JVP has practically destroyed the princpled old left with a rotten ideology.
Professor Senaka Bibile was a socialist at heart who practised what he preached unlike most of the politicians.
He comes from Bibile Walawwa.
I think he was disposed by CIA in Guana.
The same company who may have had a hand with CIA gives an annual oration.
I never went for any of those orations but post a blog post or national paper article against the SORDID affairs of CIA.
He established a National Formulary and got the leading consultants to contribute articles.
I have one of them as a souvenir in Ceylon.
No copies of Formulary Notes in the Medical Library.
