Onkosh bel3araby

A few weeks ago i stumbled upon a very interesting search engine while i was visiting the egymaps site. apparently egymaps sold it's software to Google and started an Arabic based search engine that supports Arabic transliteration, that means that u can write Arabic words with Latin characters like "alqahera" and the search engine will convert them to Arabic letters and will even ask you what did you mean if the words weren't correct....i think it is the coolest Arabic search engine to date.

The view from the 7th floor

Last week when i had to spend the night at the ICU ward in the 7Th floor I took those pictures....too bad the patients can't appreciate the view (they 're all in a coma).

Symbolic Hazard

This is a photo of the door of the lecture room at safwat's surgery ward, and as you can see the sign on the door that says lecture hall in Arabic has a syringe needle inside the glass panel...how symbolic is that. that pretty much says everything about the hygiene in kasralainy.

محكمة الأستقبال

من سوء حظ المرضى في أستقبال الحوادث وجود مجموعة من أطباء الأمتياز القادمين من الفضاء فى مكتب الأستقبال. حيث يصاب المريض فور رؤيته لهذا المنظر بالهلع و التشنجات مما يؤدى إلى فقدانه النطق و إصابته بحالة من التبول اللا إرادى

Ophthalmo......O.M.G.

i started my e.r. clerkship a while ago, and the very first thing i was responsible for was the ophthalmology kiosk. I was thrilled, to be honest i used to love ophthalmology, yes i USED to because i was freaked out on my first day in e.r. . first of all i arrived at my shift to find another fellow H.O. (house officer) waiting for me, i said WHAT???? where is the resident, she said "no resident, he's upstairs attending an eye surgery" "omg" i said r u kidding me. then she started saying stuff like "now i will tell u how to remove a foreign body from someones eye" and "u should prescribe this when that happens" and stuff like that that i couldn't really hear while i was yelling in my mind. she had to stay to actually show me how to remove a f.b. on a patient, then she left. i was alone in a small 2m x 1m room looking at the door hoping no one would come in.

But of course someone came in and i had to remove a piece of metal from his eye WITH A NEEDLE, yes a needle. you see in Europe and advanced countries the use special STUFF to remove STUFF from patient's eyes because they are PANSIES, but here in Egypt we are MEN, we use and invent ridiculous methods because we are brave and broke.

anyway by the end of my shift i had removed foreign bodies from the eyes of about 18 patients (mostly blacksmiths who can't stand masks) i have treated about 4 corneal ulcers and referred 4 patients to the resident who didn't care to show up except when the H.O. at the resuscitation room asked him to examine a patient with eye damage. u see , he ignores me but he is afraid of the h.o. at the resus because he might Flag him (i.e. complain about him to the admin.).

I found out that day that we were really well educated and qualified to be doctors. i only had to overcome my fears to perform well. OH and here are some pictures of the hole i examine people in.

The Last Day

This is a video for our last day in exams...well, not exactly the last day but the last 3 days.

Kryptonite discovered

it doesn't glow green or absorb superman's power, but it does have the same chemical composition as described in the movie superman returns. the stone was discovered in a Siberian mine and was not found to match any other type of rocks, and when analyzed it was found to be made of sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide which is the same composition wrote under the rock that lex luthor steals from the museum in the movie. scientists were amazed when they found that out. also the rock was found to glow orange-pink when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

We Want RSX

via giz....quot

"Here's the petition to open up the PSX's RSX under Linux. This is why you should sign it: You see, when Sony announced that it was going to allow people to install Linux on their PS3s without going through backdoors, everyone rejoiced at all the possibilities of playing back DivX and using it as a DVR under Linux. But if you've gone through the process of installing Yellow Dog Linux onto your PS3, you'll note that something's missing. Namely, hardware support. You see, right now the Linux on PS3s have no access to the RSX (the graphics processor), which means playing back DivX or using any kind of meaningful graphical app is out of the question. Not to mention emulation (SNES, NES) gaming or real gaming under Linux. So go over and sign that petition so we can actually use Linux for something useful."

Mini Egypt

I found a technique on the web to make photos taken to real landscapes look like they were plastic models of the real thing.
i tried it and that is what i have done so far.
