I recently went to see a doctor, he has all the credentials to claim him the best in his field but he lacks the most important thing patients look for in a doctor and that is empathy. I have had my share of doctors to last me a lifetime but I have never seen one like this who fails to empathize with patients, it's as though the only thing that matters to him is his work. How can we forget the very core reason that made us want to be doctors? How can we fail our patients? Is it a tactic to try and fool ourselves to not get too close to a patient? Some things should be a given such as some decent respect. I would have never tolerated this if it were not in respect to a doctor I once worked with. It got me thinking about how medicine is changing to a more routine way than one where we once cared about our patients ..

CirQue Du Soleil
After months of hearing so many people talk about Corteo, I decided it's time to check it out and see if it is really all that they say it is. The show was very entertaining, amusing and kept the viewers mesmerized by what their eyes kept witnessing. Cirque Du Soleil is a famous show and a festive parade, they tour all around but are mainly held in Vegas. They are world famous acrobats that are trained to do the most unexpected stunts and perform the impossible. I have to admit though that the show didn't exceed my expectations. I had heard so much about it and I guess that spoiled it for me as my expectations were too high. I loved the first part of the show but the ending wasn't as exciting as the first part. The show was a celebration of ridiculously tragic and funny events. My favorite scenes were those on the trapezes and parallel bars, how they would swing, twist, and move from one place to another. The show was amazing and I would definitely recommend you all to see it sometime.

Everyday thousands of people parade in and out of the subway and we hardly pay attention to those around us as we desperately try to get to our destinations on time .. I was there yesterday and began to notice an old man standing there by himself dressed in rags, his mental state was failing him, he was talking to himself as though there was another person standing beside him, soon his hands were wondering around thin air as he pretended to have a conversation with someone and began to shake hands with the ‘person’ beside him .. I couldn’t stop wondering what had led him to his mental state, was it old age? was he abandoned? forgotten? was it poverty that led him to insanity? as we got to the next stop he insisted on his friend to go first as he pointed out with his hands towards the door and soon left the station others were too busy reading their papers, listening to music and anxiously trying to figure out which stop was theirs, it was as though nothing had happened .. I wish that we lived in a society that cared, a society that didn’t forget others and had its doors always open. I can only hope that things would someday change but I know it would be a long battle to play ..
