BMT...
Has been a hectic few weeks... almost getting used to waking up at 5.30 am in order to be able to start rounding at 6.15 am. Learning lots...
Funny how different people face challenges so differently. Have had quite a number of patients on the service who had the same disease, same conditioning regimen, same chemotherapy side effects, same complications and yet have such a different outcome... one stays in the hospital for 5 days and the other 15 days...
The emotional, psychological state is so important when facing a life-threatening diease. The right attitudes, approach, mental fortitude can often make a difference between recovery and illness...
The WHO defines health as...
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
.I must admit, as physicians we are often so focused on the physcical that we forget the mental, emotional and social aspects of health.
Interestingly even this definition under debate, in fact, there have been various attempts to modify, edit this definition. Found a paper recently by Sussela Bok a senior visiting fellow from the Harvard School of Public Health which discusses the historical context of the definition, as well the various efforts to 'update' this definition. Found it to be of a somewhat interesting read. Included here is the link to the PDF.

Hi, just drop in to say hello.
welcome to the hem/onc world.
My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
