"Isn’t man, from his very start as a zygote, a calendar of timed events."

The adage continues to ring true.

“How accurately they defined the idiot, the cretin, the imbecile, the epileptic, the hysteric, hypochondriac & neurasthenic. Instead of admitting that little was known about what went in the human brain, either healthy or sick, the professors stacked up Latin words”~Isaac Singer

If your parents’ time has come, not even their executioner can save them. And if their time hasn’t come, not even their physician can kill them. If you worry about such stuff, you will never have quality sleep..

After admission to high end @HospitalsApollo
sophisticated investigations & emergency brain surgery @SadhguruJV

79% of psychiatrists would recommend immediate treatment with an antidepressant for a depressed patient – but only 39% would take that path themselves. Most would opt instead for watchful waiting. https://t.co/M6v2WrcwRR

“In fact, perhaps there should be a patient’s day, where we doctors express gratitude to patients for being our true teachers, who as part of our knowledge ecosystem, train us & contribute to our learning. Respect & gratitude cuts both ways.Respect has to be earned, not demanded”

“If matter has been understood as but configured energy, then life needs to be understood as configured time. Isn’t man, from his very start as a zygote, a calendar of timed events.” From our book - “Living Dying”

[Charles Brenner, PhD @CharlesMBrenner]

In its ostensible pursuit of technological excellence, modern medicine has quashed the last vestiges of scepticism, which is the birth right of the evaluating and questioning right brain. Doctors note - “You are here not to worship what is known, but to question it”

Ranjan Das, the CEO of SAP India in 2009, was an avid marathon runner. In October 2009, he came home from his gym, had a heart attack, and died. He was 42.

“Reverence for life deserves
a balancing opposite, reverence for death. This dual concept in its manifold sense, is a way towards still farther reaches of human nature,and human soul. It is good, for man, to revere death so that he can
revere life..”

[Sarah Wootton @sarah_wootton]

Death is inevitable. Suffering should not be.
