Pharmacist alumni meet and Emergency Medical Care

Image
How many of our Alumni meet to think about to organize life support training as one of the agendas in the program?? Very less or almost nil. Today I have instrumental in providing hands-on training to 80 (Pharmacists) Alumni members of National College of pharmacy through Aster Volunteers and get together was arranged in Rain country resorts, Lakkidi, Wayanad. They have their celebrations in the resort. They also found a needy training session. We don't know to whom, when and where someone needs life-saving efforts. When looking back, this awareness is commendable

Sometimes : Sila Samayangalil

Image
https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80228322 Sometimes is a beautiful Priyadarsan movie streaming in Netflix since 2016. I watched it recently. Very sharply framed storyboard which portrayed most realistically. The Story based on seven people coming to a lab for HIV testing. The movie tells many things to us. It not only tells us about the dreaded disease AIDS but also reveal professionalism in healthcare. The highly impressive direction of the movie and its craftsmanship made it a different experience. First to last fame is live realistic and it will take us into the film. Priyan showed us again, and just a room is more than enough to create a movie of great value. The movie is in Tamil with English subtitles. But to enjoy and understand the film, language is not a barrier. The presentation is so vivid and realistic. The actors like Prakash Raj, Shreya Reddy, Ashok Selvan and others not acting in the movie.  They are passionately live in the scenes.

86 percent of Kerala road accidents are driver driven!!

Recent accident with Balabaskar: child died. Balabaskar and wife are critical. Likely driver slept. 2017 -18 statistics on road accidents in Kerala by Kerala police: 86 percent of total accidents and mortality are purely driver driven. Only 14 percent cause rest of the causes. If we focus on drivers only we can bring down RTA and deaths plus morbidity by more than 80 percent. Everyone should think loudly https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/singer-violinist-balabhaskars-child-dies-car-accident-couple-critical-88907?amp Further on this note, the injury pattern described in the newspaper pointing towards the compulsory seat belt for back seat passengers and separate seat belt for children. Indian laws insisted the same following Union minister Gopinath Mundai’s accident in Delhi.

Disaster tourism a note by Unnithan Road safety authority

What a very bad habit we are following.  Disaster tourism?.  When the whole state is in a fear of a natural disaster,  people are enjoining with selfy at some of the dangerous spots.  Heard people screaming with joy when the dam shutter was opened. It was opened in a situation where unexpected rain fall almost filled the dam.  All efforts were made to avoid opening it considering flood,  loss of money, and thousands of people who will be affected when such emergency situation arises.  It is not a monkeys play to handle a alarming rise of water which was not at all foreseen because a sudden wave rise in Orissa seas was unpredicted. No human being can enjoy a disaster in such a barbaric way we kerala public behaved.   As said earlier all teams including central disaster management  team were ready to tackle any emergency. Flood and calamities are not able to predict hundred percent.  When shutters were opened all areas where paddy fields and wet land were destroyed by us by building hous
