Doc Mom Diaries

 Having been through a lot in my pursuit of excellence and still in suffering mode when people, even your family label you as Naa Shukri, Complainer, Whiner etc. after you have enough on your plate made me realize that why are we a Deteoriating society? and callousness has already reached its peak here. I cant say about others as I have not yet experienced the life abroad because despite my so much wishes to at least visit abroad once, I am unable to go and have a time of my life yet. Fingers crossed, I have many hopes from Allah to make my future brighter like a shining bulb. Though the present doesn't seem to be very promising but hope lasts with life and a momin shouldn't lose faith on Almighty. So coming towards the topic. I am writing this topic with an extremely heavy heart as I can share everything here without the fear of being judged and I am sure many of my readers can relate as they must be suffering from the same or at least similar. Life is hard for everyone and i...

 It is said that a child starts listening to their mother by the 35th week of gestation and stops listening to her by two years of age. I am a practical witness to this statement which might have started as a joke. Since toddlers are free and have nothing to do and their brains are rapidly growing, they try to adapt with their environment and side by side maintain their individuality. They have a lot to communicate but they are unable to do so as their word library is less so they resort to being cranky, angry and impulsive. Parents experience bouts of crying, hitting and other destructive behaviors like breaking the toys etc. When there are other people around and the mothers are purely dedicated housewives, its easier to cope with them but if you are a working mom and your family is far away it becomes an even bigger challenge. Some mothers nowadays resort to giving screens to their kids to get rid of these behaviors and they become successful for the time being. But in the long ...

 Nowadays screens have become an inseparable part of our lives. Not only our young kids, even infants have developed screen addiction. It all starts with an impatient mother who cant solace her child and she gives mobile to calm the kid down or the kid doesn't eat properly and mom gives him/her screen to make them listen to he and the child instead of developing love for books or play, develops an extreme love for the cartoons and e-games. Earlier it dominated the youth and teens in our generation but now as the mothers and fathers are also watching, the kids follow suite. Today we are going to discuss the hazards of this screen addiction in our younger lot. The screens have made kids totally dependent and mesmerized to them. They don't need any toys or playmates or anything else. Their love for learning has become restricted to only cartoons and whatever they teach. No doubt there are good Islamic channels too and other learning channels that keeps them abreast with modern wor...

 So we all know that nowadays there is a hype about the spread of this virus (human metapneumovirus) in China and it has been reported in India as well. People are in fear that there might be another pandemic like COVID-19. Let's talk about that today and also discuss about some tips and home remedies on how can we protect ourselves from it as the only person we can change is ourselves and self protection is a priority. What is HMPV Virus? So this is just like an influenza virus, similar to COVID-19. It causes symptoms similar to cold like weakness, runny nose, sore throat, dyspnea (shortness of breath) or wheeze ( in case of asthmatics) . It usually causes mild symptoms in most individuals but attacks in children under 12, asthmatics,  immunocompromised and elderly people might lead to an increased risk of potentially fatal complications. If you take my word, simply in those people who have a low immunity level get infected with this virus. It is common to have this if you a...

 So it happened that I was surfing through YouTube when  I came across a Korean Muslim Revert Daud Kim. He was a singer, you tuber when he went to Indonesia for his concert and the lifestyle of Muslims there impressed him to the extend that he started studying Islam and eventually he embraced Islam. Then onwards he started making Islamic videos and also went on to visit Muslim countries to look at their lifestyles and learn more about Islam. He also built a mosque in Korea to provide a pray place for the Muslims.  Everything was ok till now. Then started the ugly truth. He was married before and had a son. They split for God knows what reason but he started getting backlash and hatred for that reason, calling him an irresponsible father and what not! Then his pre-Muslim era photos were leaked on the internet calling him a fake Muslim. A group of girls tried to accuse him of r*** and what not! Afterwards donation scandal appeared calling him a fake Muslim and a person usin...

 The Reason of Deteoriating Family System In Pakistan I have been wanting to talk about this issue since long. You must have heard lots of pod casts and discussions on this topic as its the trending thing in our country nowadays but I am going to bring to light a very different and important perspective today. Being able to closely see this in my real life and sensing the danger, nobody talks about it. The main reason that I think has been destroying our family hierarchy and system is role reversal. Other causes being the effect of media, westernization of the society, cultural impression etc.  Now lets talk about what I mean by role reversal. It means that when you are giving a male role to the lady of the house. With the introduction of Women Empowerment, giving them jobs to earn for themselves as well as for your kids I believe it is a good thing, to begin with but our society has specially taken it and utilized it in extremely wrong ways. No doubt its a great thing for wom...

  My Morning routine I use a morning drink daily to kick start my day, detox my body as well as to stay fit. I have heard its additional benefits are losing weight. Tbh though I feel less bloated lately but haven't lost weight so far. Today I am going to share this recipe with you as well… Turmeric powder(I used fresh turmeric and dried it in microwave after cutting it in very thin slices and then drying it out in the sun. Afterwards I finely ground them in a grinder into powder) Fresh Aloe Vera Juice Dry Ginger Powder Honey 1 Lemon Juice Beetroot juice(when I find it) I mix small amounts of these ingredients in a mug of boiling water and mix them and then drink them. Trust me its so refreshing and the best thing to kick start your day with. Afterwards I eat breakfast which normally is 2 slices of bread with a homemade kebab and a boiled egg. Sometimes I eat porridge or oats instead. That keeps me healthy and reduces my stress levels so I can deal with my patients unlike the stereo...

 Anatomy tbh was the nightmare of my medical life. The worst you could do to haunt a medical student is to tell them tomorrow is his stage of anatomy and he would die a pre mature death. Most of the time of the first 2 years of medical life was consumed in cramming anatomy. To be able to retain all the muscles and bones and vessels was quite a gruesome task for me. But slowly as I started exploring how it works, things got simplified for me. Then when I entered my practical life did I realize why its so important to know each and everything that was once taught in medical school. I learned several ways to sail through it easily which I wish I would have known earlier and that have made my pain better. Now when I look back, things become clearer to me that no matter the destination is most important but the journey also matters as it helps us understand our destination better and become better equipped and appreciate it more than if we reach the destination directly. No matter how m...

 So one day, I was so much annoyed and depressed with my life that I cant study for any exam and i cant get a transfer and I cant live with my family and life is hell. so I called a very nice senior of mine and stated all my problems to her, saying since you are more experienced than me and you know life way better than me, please suggest me some good way on how can I cope with all this that's going on in  my personal as well as professional life. She paused for a moment and then started " Look baita! the thing is that even if you get posted to your hometown and start living with your family, there is no guarantee that all your problems will vanish overnight and you wont have any in the future. When we evolve, the nature of our problems change but we still have them. Someone might have even bigger problems than you have. The thing is how you deal with them that matters. Being able to earn with your own hands and not being dependent upon others in itself is such a big blessing ...
