Troubles

Thursday night I came home late and I tried to turn on my laptop but it didn't want to start and after hearing the loud sounds the hard disk is making I started to think that this might be a big problem and I might have lost all the data I have for good , I don't know what to do so I guess it's time to get an expert to see what's wrong .
So I am going to be away for sometime till I get my laptop fixed .

تناقض

هذه قصيدة للشاعر عبد الرحمن العشماوي في وصف بعض التناقض الموجود في بعض البيئات، وعند بعض النسوة، يقول الشاعر في هذه الظاهرة.

هذي العيونُ وذلك القــدُّ

والشيحُ والريحـانُ والنـَّـدُّ

من أين جئتِ؟ أَأَنْجَبَتْكِ روىءً

بيضٌ فأنتِ الزهـرُ والـوردُ

قالت وفي أجفانِها كَحَـــلٌ

يُغري وفـي كلماتهـا جـدُّ

عربيــةٌ حُريتـي جَعَلَـتْ

مـني فتـاةً مالـهـا نـدُّ

أغشى بقاعَ الأرضِ ما سَنَحَتْ

لي فرصَـةٌ بالنفـس أعتـدُّ

عربيةٌ.. فسألتُ: مسلمــةٌ؟

قالت: نعم! ولخالقي الحمـدُ

فسألتها والحزن يَعْصِـف بي

والنارُ في قلـبي لهــا وقْـدُ

من أين هذا الزِّيِّ؟ ما عَرَفَـتْ

أرضُ الحجازِ ولا رأت نَجْـدُ

هـذا التبـذُّل يا محدّثــتي

سـهمٌ من الإلـحاد مرتَـدُّ

فتـنمَّرَتْ ثم انْثَنَـتْ صَـلَفًا

ولسانُها لسِبابهـا عَبْــدُ

قالـت: أنا بالنـفسِ واثقـةٌ

حريَّتي دون الهــوى سـدُّ

فأجـبتُها والنـارُ تَلْفَحُـني:

أخشــى بأن يتناثَرَ العِقـدُ

ضِـدَّانِ يا أُختاه ما اجتمعـا:

دينُ الهدى، والكفرُ والصَـدُّ

والله مـا أزْرى بأمتِـنــا

إلا ازدواجٌ ما لـه حـدٌّ !


إستطلاع للرأي

أجرت الأمم المتحدة استطلاعا للرأي العام، ولكنّه فشل فشلاًذريعاً..

لان السؤال كان: ما هو رأيك بنقص الغذاء في الجزء الباقي من العالم لو سمحت؟ وكانت الإجابات كالتالي:

في أفريقيا لم يعرف الناس معنى كلمة غذاء

في غرب أوروبا لم يعرفوا ماذا تعني كلمة نقص

وفي العالم العربي لم يعرفوا معنى كلمة رأيك

وفي أميركا اللاتينية لم يعرفوا مذا تعني كلمة لو سمحت

وفي الولايات المتحدة لم يعرفوا ماذا تعني جملة الجزء الباقي من العالم

يبقى سؤال :هل هناك رأي اخر؟!

I've been busy for few days now s ,I started my Orthopedic course on Saturday and I was busy studying so I can follow on the basics of orthopedics , everyday in a different hospital because I am trying to follow on the best tutorials and every day I come home so tired after a long day of standing .

on Sunday I went to The Fourth National Diabetes and Endocrinology Conference in Corinthia hotel, it was so nice attending the lectures from one of the best doctors in this specialty , that day it was about Diabetic and endocrine emergencies , then we finished the night with Dr Issam Hajjaji giving a lecture on Diabetes in Libya , I guess you all know how almost every home in Libya has a patient with diabetes and along with hypertension they make the main chronic diseases here in Libya ,the problem is that there is no reliable study to see the percentage of the people affected but hopefully after the census there will be some results that can help , the medical records is one of the problems I see in our hospitals ,there is no such a thing as a medical record , patients files aren’t stored probably , and computers are something too new to use in our hospitals , and I don’t think any of the staff in the hospitals know how to use it anyway , we also have what is called relatives staying with the patient when they are admitted , it's so they can help the patient in everything and this leaves a question what does nurses do , well I don’t know how to answer this , you have to come and see by yourself .

I am not saying that everything is bad and all the people working in the hospitals are bad too, but the majority of things make you not notice the good people and the good things out there.

من خطبة الجمعة

فى خطبة الجمعة اليوم تحدث الامام عن طاعة الخلق فى معصية الخالق , وقد اعجبتنى هذه القصة التى رواها .

لما تولى الخلافة يزيد بن عبد الملك ولى على العراق عمر بن هبيره الفزاري.
وسار يزيد في الناس غير سيرة سلفه العظيم......
فكان يرسل الى عمر بن هبيرة بالكتاب تلو الكتاب ،ويأمره بإنفاذ ما فيها ولو كان مجافيا للحق أحيانا.......

فدعا عمر بن هبيره كلاّ من الحسن البصري وعامر بن شراحبيل المعرو ف بالشعبي وقال لهما:
إنّ أمير المؤمنين قد استخلفه الله على عباده وأوجب طاعته على الناس.
وقد ولاني ماترون من أمر العراق ثم زادني فولاني فارس .
وهويرسل إليّ أحيانا كتبا يأمرني فيها بإنفاذ مالا أطمئن إلى عدالته .
فهل تجدان لي في متابعتي إياه وإنفاذ أوامره مخرجا في الدين؟

فأجاب الشعبي جوابا فيه ملاطفة للخليفة ، ومسايرة للوالي.......
فالتفت عمر بن هبيرة إلى الحسن وقال:
وماتقول أنت يا أباسعيد؟
فقال : يابن هبيره ،خف الله في يزيد ولاتخف يزيد في الله....
واعلم أنّ الله جلّ وعزّ يمنعك من يزيد ، وأنّ يزيد لايمنعك من الله....
يابن هبيره، إنّه يوشك أن ينزل بك ملك غليظ شديدلايعصي الله ما أمره، فيزيلك عن سريرك هذا ، وينقلك من سعة قصرك إلى ضيق قبرك....
حيث لاتجد هناك يزيد ، وإنما تجد عملك الذي خالفت فيه رب يزيد.....
يابن هبيره إنك إن تك مع الله تعالى وفي طاعته يكفك بائقة يزيد بن عبد الملك في الدنيا والأخرة.
وإن تك مع يزيد في معصية الله تعالى ، فإن الله يكلك إلى يزيد..
واعلم يابن هبيرة أنه لاطاعة لمخلوق كائنا من كان في معصية الخالق عزوجل .
فبكى عمر بن هبيره حتى بللت دموعه لحيته...
ومال عن الشعبي إلى الحسن

The beginning



I am thinking of writing about my days as medical student after a motivation from couple of people who visit my blog , I don’t know what I am going to talk about but I am sure some interesting things will come out eventually .

First I want to start with my story with medicine , my story might be different in the beginning because I’ve never thought I would study medicine , and I’ve never wanted to study it , it all came by chance , I am not a nerd or the kind who love studying but when I think how I got till 5ht year straight I have second thought and believe more in myself , I’ve never had a dream of becoming a doctor , so what brought me here I still don’t know , but what I know is that this is the thing for me , I didn’t choose it may be but it choose me , this is what I am made to do .

I finished my high school and I was wondering what is the thing I like , what is the thing I am good at , what I want to be , they were tough months just trying what to study in univesity , here in Libya it’s hard to decide because first there is no much choices and second of all you don’t get any motivation from any where , and of course no one direct you in school towards anything , so it had to be my choice , I wasn’t good at anything , I used to love engineering even I was so bad in math , it was the thing I wanted to study until I finished high school , I think that’s when my brain was mature enough to tell me am not good for that , my parents told me that when I was a kid I used to say I want to be a janitor , I think it’s because I used to stay a lot with the janitor of our building , I used to see him so popular everyone knows him ,every one salutes him and he helps everyone in the building ,I wanted to be like that I wanted to help people and to make them love me the way they do with him , when I got older by the time I realized this isn’t gonna work for me , so engineering was the thing I wanted to study because I though only people who deal with numbers are smart , I wanted to be smart until but then time passed and I finished school without being smart with numbers .

I heard about Medical school and how it’s quite good here , I heard about the 7 long years you have to study and then I took it out of my head , I thought about a couple of other colleges like Business & Social Science , but there was nothing I liked , I guess I was too late to choose , I should have thought about it before ,one day I was laying back and started thinking what are the things I can do , I settled down on medicine because the only thing that made me not like it is the long time it takes to finish and this is the reason that makes most of the European or Americans not study medicine , because there is no benefit from wasting your life on medicine , you could get whatever you want from life in younger age if you study something more simple , something like business administration , there is huge number of foreign doctors working in UK and in USA , because they have shortage in native doctors , it’s funny that most of the doctors world wide are from what is called third world .

So medicine it is that’s what I told myself two days before they closed the registrations at the Medical school , and I was lucky not like my friend who a pigeon pooped on his head the first day he came to the Medical school , I had and still having good times in school , I started loving what I am doing by the days and I started being good at it , I don’t study for the marks but I study for myself ,I enjoyed every year with it’s good and bad , and what makes us different from people who study medicine abroad is that we are not spoiled , we learned Anatomy on 15 years old cadaver , not two people dissecting a fresh human meat , we were more than 30 on one cadaver , but yet we could pass , we could recognize the nerve from artery even the whole body looked like an old tree with nothing to distinguish between it’s branches , this only a simple thing in all the things we faced ,and that’s why most of our doctors get on top when they go abroad , because they are trained use their imagination and not only to deal with what they see .

I made it to the fifth year and all I can say that this year is more though than the 5 years I’ve passed (primary year + 4 years), so I need your prayers for me that I pass it so I can finish my journey with honor .
