I’m trapped, trapped inside myself, I want to get out, get out and be free. I don’t want to live in my shell, but I’m scared, scared to take away my mask.
Friends are forever letting me down, No matter how close they are. They are there if I have a problem, but when I don’t, I may as well not exist.
I want someone to trust and care about me, someone to cry on and someone to listen. I want someone to love me for who I am, not the masked me whom everyone knows.
Unfortunately none of this can ever come true, not from someone on this earth anyway. No one I know is perfect; No one I know can fulfill this.
Except…
Someone I know who is watching down on everyone of us. He has a special plan and a purpose for anyone who turns to Him. There will still be hardship and sorrow, but these will make you strong.
He can be trusted, he is ever so faithful. He cares deeply about each person on this earth. He can be cried upon, and will cry with you. He even puts each tear we cry in a bottle. He is the best listener anyone could be, And most of all He loves us for who we are, No matter what we have done.
“Who could do all this?” I hear you ask. It’s a very dear and special friend of mine called Jesus, with whom I can take away my mask and be free.

Emedinews:Insights on Medicolegal issues:Taking someone else’s medicine is also a kind of misuse
• Women who take medicine to try to end a pregnancy are misusing the medicine, and may poison themselves
• Poisoning accidents can occur when safety warnings are ignored and chemicals are used in the wrong way. For example, there is usually a warning on a bleach container that bleach should not be mixed with any other cleaner. If people ignore the warning and use bleach with another household cleaner, they may be poisoned by the gases emitted.
• Another example of misuse of a product is when insecticides that are meant to be used on plants or buildings are used to kill insects living on people, in their hair or on their bodies.
• Sometimes people poison themselves by misusing medicines. They may take more than the doctor prescribed because they think, wrongly, that a larger dose will make them better more quickly.
• Taking someone else’s medicine is also a kind of misuse. People who take someone else’s medicine may be harmed if they take the wrong dose or take a medicine that is not meant for treating their condition.

Emedinews:Inspiration:This is Good!
The story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, "This is good!"
One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.
Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, "This is good!" To which the king replied, "No, this is NOT good!" and proceeded to send his friend to jail.
About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took them to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake. As they came near to setting fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way.
As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. "You were right," he said, "it was good that my thumb was blown off."
And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. "And so I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this." "No," his friend replied, "This is good!"
"What do you mean, 'This is good'? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?" "If I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you."
Situations may not always seem pleasant while we are in them, but the promise of God is clear. If we love Him and live our lives according to His precepts, even that which seems to be bleak and hopeless will be turned by God for His glory and our benefit. Hold on, God is faithful! May God bless you this week as you seek His will in every situation.

Emedinews:Insights on Medicolegal issues:Autopsy Artifacts must be ruled out by doctor conducting postmortem examination
When an autopsy is conducted on a body, surgical intervention are made for internal examination which results in damage to blood vessels, skull bone fracture, damage to organs, etc. these are artifacts of post-mortem examination and absolutely unrelated with the natural state of the dead body. These may be grossly mistaken, especially when a re autopsy is done at a different center.
• Using chisel and hammer to loosen the skull cap may produce additional fractures or may cause extension of an already present ante- mortem fracture. Rough handling of the brain during removal may produce tears of midbrain. If the neck structures are pulled too hard during autopsy they may be torn.
• Pulling of the dura in the sagittal line will cause the air to enter the blood vessels at the top of the brain. Due to the reflection of the skin, air may enter the veins of the neck. This may lead to erroneous diagnosis of air embolism.
• In case of a suspected cranial injury, the body should be opened and the cardiovascular system decompressed by opening heart before the head is opened.
• Large blood vessels may be cut while opening the thoracic and abdominal cavities, and considerable amount of blood escapes to the pleural and peritoneal cavities.
• Air may be drawn back into the circulation and enter coronary vessels and give false impression of air embolism.
• During autopsy, the handling of organs and incision of vessels may result in extravasations of blood into the tissues.
• In older persons, the hyoid bones and thyroid cartilage may be fractured while removing the neck organs. Surrounding the fracture regions, hemorrhages are not visible.
• Osseous union between the segments of hyoid may be unilateral. Such unilateral mobility or artifact by dissection may lead to erroneous impression of antemortem fracture.
• While dissecting the neck structures, if toothed dissecting forceps are used, it may damage the intima of the carotid artery which resembles a tear, as seen in case of strangulation.
• The toxicological artifacts may be introduced due to the contamination of viscera with stomach contents due to autopsy, or by putting all the organs in one container or by using faulty techniques in collecting or storage of samples.

Situation: A patient with fever and cough developed complications after he was given antibiotics.
Reaction: Oh my God! What was the need of giving the antibiotics?
Lesson: Make sure that a patient with fever and cough is not given antibiotics as presence of cough mostly signifies viral infection.

Emedinews:Inspiration:"Wait" and you shall have no more opportunity
"Wait" and you shall have no more opportunity
Today, our house is getting bigger and bigger, but our family, smaller and smaller. Life is easier, but time, less and less. Our education level is higher and higher, but common sense, less and less. Knowledge is getting more and more, but judgement becomes worse and worse. We have more professionals, but there are more and more problems. Medicine has improved greatly, but health is becoming worse and worse.
We expend a lot, but enjoy life very little. We drive cars very fast, but temper bursts out faster.
We sleep very late, read very little, view too much TV and pray very little. Our fortune is doubled, but value reduced. We talk a lot, but love very little and lies abound. We learn how to lead a life, but we care less creating life. We extend our life span, but never increase life in our days. We have taller and taller buildings, but less and less EQ. We have wider high speed motorways, but have narrower viewpoints. We spend a great deal, but own very little. We buy more, but enjoy less.
We travel to the moon and back, but never visit our neighbors. We conquer the outer space, but have no clue as to how to control our prejudice. We can dissect atoms, but are unable to remove our biased thinking.
We write more, but learn little. More schemes, but little success. We learn how to busy ourselves, but never learn how to wait. Our income has risen, but morality, declined. We produce more and more computers, but control information flow. Multiply more and more copies, but our communications with others very lacking.
We produce more, but quality deteriorates. This is the year when fast food is aplenty and digestion failing.
Huge physique with lowly temperament coexisting era. Lots of holidays, but little enjoyment. More food, less nutrition. More family income, more divorce cases. Many more millionaires, but more broken families.
I propose…..
In such an era, you do not keep what you want to do till a specific time to do, Because the day you are alive and kicking is the specific occasion you should do. Read more and obtain more knowledge. Sit in your front veranda and enjoy the beauty of nature. Do not have to worry about life's essential needs.
Spend more time with your friends and families. Enjoy your fond food. Travel to places you like to visit.
Life does not depend on maintaining one's existence. It consists of many happy occasions chained together.
Bring out your crystal champagne glass. Never keep your best perfume on the shelf. Any time you want to use it, do so. Remove "one day" "some day in the future" from your dictionary.
Go now to write that letter The letter you want to write one day. Let us now tell our family that we love them very much. Do not postpone telling them your happiness and love till one day. Everyday, every hour and every minute is all very special.
