A Merry X-mas to You All !
2007-12-25 19:57:00 One good thing about Social networking sites - On festive breaks it's good to see my Orkut and Facebook pages teeming with wishes. Also, thanks to Web 2.0 - there are far more 'friends' that I have never met and probably never will - yet that's a warm feeling.

2007-12-10 12:30:00 As far as Europe an countries go, a Senior House Officer is the designation that implies a doctor in his third of post-graduate training.

US Orthopedic Surgeon Laments Loss of Autonomy & Income
2007-12-07 01:46:00 One thing that physicians love about being a physician is their "professional autonomy" - i.e. the power to make decisions for the patient, direct and 'run the show' depending on what they think is best and that's how the medical schools train us.
