UnDead: October 2009

A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". This week our president made some of the first positive statements. I have heard from the government regarding the AIDS epidemic in our country. Hopefully this will mark the end of the denial phase in the process of grieving. You may ask what is fuelling this rampage? Why seek help in the first place? I am of the opinion that HIV is no different from other chronic or terminal illnesses. It's ...

UnDead: January 2010
http://undead-doc.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". Three recent stories in the news here. Somewhat satirically), describe how some people are taking advantage of our high crime rate to make a bit of extra cash at the soccer world cup. Our government is understandably outraged at the suggestion that these "stab-proof vests" are even necessary, and that they are inciting fear. Unfortunately, fear sells. I certainly hope so.

UnDead: November 2009

A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". Technology has the power to amaze. There are always things being invented and improved on that I would never have thought were needed, or needed to improved upon. I suppose this is the inevitable course of progress, and the result of good marketing. Convincing someone they need something they never even thought or would have imagined even using before. All in the name of. Irregular, but palpable&...

UnDead: Bewitched
http://undead-doc.blogspot.com/2009/11/bewitched.html
A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". I was reading some posts on magic here. And was reminded of an unconventional cure a family medicine lecturer related to us while still at medical school. He had developed it, in his time as a GP, for what is a common ailment in some South African cultural groups - "snakes in my belly". For all to see! And he/she was now cured! Posted by UnDead Doctor.

UnDead: Survival
http://undead-doc.blogspot.com/2009/12/survival.html
A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". Sometimes our patients survive, despite our best efforts. I was reminded of a remarkable patient I looked after a while back. I use the term "looked after" in it's loosest sense. He was a resident in my ward for a while, and I made conversation with him everyday while he was there. And didn't do much else. He was a young man, who had gotten in a fight, and had been skewered by an assegaai. Surgeo...

UnDead: Expect the Unexpected
http://undead-doc.blogspot.com/2009/12/expect-unexpected.html
A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". Leaks in the anaesthesia circuit. Are relatively commonplace. For this reason we run through specific tests of the machine and ventilator to check for any faults at the start of every day. Even so, leaks still occur. The most common culprits in my experience are a faulty ETT. I recently had to deal with one of these unpleasant situations. I had checked my machine. At the start of the day. Not...

UnDead: Carnage
http://undead-doc.blogspot.com/2009/12/carnage.html
A medical doctors experiences and views from time spent on both sides of the so-called "blood-brain barrier". Every year we get news reports updated almost daily of the numbers killed on our roads in South Africa over the festive seasons (usually April and December). This morning's figure. Firstly, this is a large number, and is horrific, but how does it compare to the rest of the world in eg. deaths per 100 000 population? I have no idea. Ours is 21.96. Secondly, how many people are injured non-fatally?

I hope this blog will help me the writer and with the readers help - mould my ideas into something tangible, usable and real! I have just finished reading the final book in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series - 'Breaking The Dawn'. It was the best of the four books in the series.
