@manuell95011697 @pamilerin Don't judge your relationship base on what you read, hear or see.. Perhaps what is good for them might not be good for you😊
We probably deserve another red card for that last post! But in all seriousness, congratulations to @Arsenal on winning the Premier League and a great run in the Champions League.
Looking forward to picking up the battle again with you next season.
Billionaires don’t have bank accounts like you and me. They have art collections,Yachts,Mansions,Stocks. None of it gets taxed until they sell it. So they just never sell it. They borrow against it instead. Live off the loans. Pay almost nothing. Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free. The wealth never gets taxed, It just gets passed down.
And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.
@the_beardedsina Solid list, Dr.

Contrary to the misinformation circulating online, Chivita has clarified that both the classic & updated Hollandia Yoghurt packs are 100% authentic.
The difference is only a packaging update. Quality, taste, and nutritional value remain unchanged. Please disregard false claims.
To our global audience, please don't be confused whether this pack or that, it's the same ORIGINAL HOLLANDIA YOGHURT.
ENJOY WITH YOUR FAMILY.

BIG BABY (MACROSOMIA). WHEN A BABY ARRIVES TOO BIG AND BLAME ARRIVES TOO FAST
SHE SHOULD NOT BLAME HERSELF NEITHER SHOULD THE DOCTORS BLAME HER👀👀
ON THE FLIP SIDE, MOTHERS SHOULDN'T MISS ANTENATAL WITH MIDWIVES OR DOCTORS.
Dear Cira,
Send this to your friend.
Let me answer this as an obstetric doctor, and let me do it gently, and deliberately, because this is not just a medical question. It is a question soaked in grief, and in guilt, and in that quiet fear that sits in the chest long after the labour room has emptied. And none of these deserve harshness.
First, please tell your friend this and say it slowly, and say it again if you must: what happened is not a moral failure, and it is not a personal failure, but could be picked if she attended her antenatal. Pregnancy is not mathematics. Birth is not a formula. They are biological events, and biology, like life, is imprecise and sometimes unruly.
Yes, during pregnancy we estimate a baby’s size. We measure the belly, and we feel with trained hands, and we use ultrasound machines that hum confidently and yet whisper uncertainties. But these are estimates, not certainties. Even the most sophisticated ultrasound, even when done close to delivery, can be wrong by 10 to 15 percent in either direction. A baby expected to weigh 4.2 kilograms can arrive quietly at 4.8, or more, without drama beforehand and without wrongdoing behind the scenes.
And no, most women do not know they are carrying a 5-kilogram baby. Large babies do not always announce themselves. Some mothers are not diabetic. Some gain what the books call 'normal' weight. Ssome tick all the right boxes and still get surprised. A big baby can sit politely in the womb, causing no alarm, until the day of birth demands its truth.
As obstetricians, our work is not prophecy. It is risk assessment. When the signs are loud diabetes, rapid growth, clear ultrasound estimates, we talk, and we plan, and we offer options, including caesarean delivery. But when the signs are subtle, or absent, a vaginal birth is often reasonable, and accepted, and entirely within standard care. Choosing that path is not negligence. It is medicine practiced with the information available at the time.
And this must be said, clearly and without apology: a bad outcome does not automatically mean a bad decision. Complications happen, even when care is appropriate, and thoughtful, and given in good faith. Medicine is powerful, yes, but it is not omnipotent.
Your friend, right now, is doing what many mothers do after a crisis. She is turning inward. She is replaying moments. She is asking herself questions that have no kind answers. Please remind her that she carried her child, she trusted her caregivers, and she showed up to birth with courage. That matters. It counts. It is not erased by outcome.
And to the doctors involved, birth humbles us all. Reflection is necessary. Learning is essential. But blame, flung carelessly or inwardly, heals no one.
This moment calls for compassion, not condemnation. For the mother. For the baby. And yes, even for the hands that tried imperfectly, humanly to usher new life safely into the world.
If there is one thing she must hear, let it be this: You did not fail your child by not knowing what no one could know with certainty.
Our grandparents used to die from simple scratches. An infection from a small cut and they're gone.
We laugh at that now, because we have antibiotics. We think we are safe.
But truth be told, we’re going back to our grandparent’s exact future where infections can take someone just because our antibiotics stop working.
How? Let me tell you…
Many of you feel a fever and body pain.
And the first thing you do is to go to the chemist to give you Malaria and Typhoid drugs.
“Mix am so e go fit work well”, you tell the chemist.
What you don't know is you're putting yourself in danger. You don't even know if you have typhoid. You've just swallowed powerful antibiotics for nothing.
Or, the doctor gives you antibiotics for 7 days. By Day 3, because you're feeling better, you stop. You save the rest for later.
You didn't kill the bacteria, you just educated them and gave them a small taste of the bullet, letting them survive. So now, when you actually get a serious infection... when you really need that drug...
It most likely will not work. I'm not trying to scare you, but please, for this World Antimicrobial Awareness week…
Let’s stop abusing antibiotics.
Unless you’re sure you have a bacterial infection, DO NOT SELF-MEDICATE.
Deal?

Life can be overwhelming for all of us sometimes, but let’s stay hydrated.
Reminisce about the happy moments more and find or give yourself a new reason to go again.
