Guts and Balls: The Medical Distinction
May 14th, 2008 by supermarcWe’ve all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below…
Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ‘Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?’
Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: ‘You’re next.’
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.
Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death.
My Name is HIV
May 14th, 2008 by supermarcI have a place to stay in the human body; I sometimes stay in a hotel called digestive juices, or a motel called blood or brothel called Feme ekgolo. But mostly in a restaurant called sperm. Everybody knows me!Yebo, yes! I am HIV, the son of AIDS and I was born in one human body during unsafe sex, but I multiplied like a bull. You may ask the rich, the poor, Blacks, Whites, males, females, doctors, sangomas. They all know me very well as my young brother STD. I attack hundreds of people all over the world every day. Listen, I will take you one by one, especially those who hate my Uncle condom. I will take you to decorate my grave. You will die young.
Africa knows me, the whole world knows me.I am HIV, son of AIDS.
I frequent shebeens and bar lounges and I respect no age. I hide between sexy legs and delicious thighs and big buttocks. Some call me Vigs, SIDA, Z3, Koloi ya Elia, Pumkat, Bioslim, Number 1, Matsatsela, Manyonyoba, Thubalebotsane and other silly names but I don’t care, because my name is:
HIV son of Aids and I have no friends.
I kill Doctors,Nurses, Lawyers, Teachers, Priests, Professors, Ministers, Bishops, Street Sweepers and I have got no shame. I will drink your blood, suck your juices, drain your fat until you are a living skeleton and from there I will kick you to the grave. You men fasten your trouser belts You women don’t loosen your panties and G-Strings because I am watching you. The only way you can beat me is to be accompanied by my uncle Condom whom I hate so much. He is the only one who can try to defeat me. Mothers hear me, Fathers hear me, Brothers hear me, Sisters hear me intellectuals hear me, Stupids hear me,Retards hear me, Clevers hear me and I am telling you for the last time
"My name is HIV and I have got no friends".
After reading this you must know I am sitting next to you and just one blunder I am going to consume you. Who knows, I may already be in your blood system so go right now and take blood tests, but if you are always in the company of my Uncle Condom you need not worry. My name is HIV son of AIDS and I have no friends!!!

Butter vs. Margarine
April 26th, 2008 by supermarc
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.
When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the
research
wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do
with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow
coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
How do you like it?
They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW…the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end…gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the
same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other
foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because
they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of
other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for
less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine…
Very high in transfatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL(this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers
HDLcholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here’s the most disturbing fact….
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC…
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and
anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing
the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.
Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should
tell you something)
* It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value
*Nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a
find a home to grow.
Why?
Because it is nearly plastic.
*Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends….. (If you want to "butter them up")!
Chinese Proverb:
"When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from
it, You have a moral obligation to share it with others."
People don’t care how much you know…Until they know how much you care !
Top 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits
April 26th, 2008 by supermarc
1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain
development.
5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body.
Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much a possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts.
Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because:
Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small
intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don’t sleep late.

March 2nd, 2008 by supermarcMy IDOL forever
March 2nd, 2008 by supermarcOne Shift in my Life in ER
February 15th, 2008 by supermarcMy duty in the ER began as an old man comes in with his chest being clutched. It seemed he was having a chest pain. I immediately pointed him to the a nearby bed and allowed him to lie down comfortably. I made the head part elevated and started taking history from him. At the same time, I took his vital signs. His blood pressure was elevated and his pulse was pounding. He seemed do nervous amd tensed, so i told him to stay calm and relax, as everybody in the ER were here to help him out.
The ER doctor came in the scene and started ordering tests such as ECG, lipid profile etc etc. To make the story short, the old man was transferred to the ICU after they found out that he was suffering from a Myocardial Infarction.
Another patient came immediately after I transferred the first one to ICU. This one was a motor-vehicular accident patient. He seemed unconscious and there was some bleeding from his head. I suspected a severe head injury resulting from a car accident. The people who came in with the patient started telling the story how the accident happened. I took the vitals signs and found out that his blood pressure was very high, indicating increased intracranial pressure. The temperature is high as well indicating damage to the thermoregulatory center. The pulse and RR are down. Glasgow scale was 3.
The patient was immediately brought in to xray after the doctors confirmed of some obvious skull trauma. The patient also had a CT scan of the brain. The brain damage was severe as noted from the results.
The patient arrested after he was placed back in ER. We started resuscitating the patient. His pulse came back, and we immediately wheeled him to the ICU.
And that’s about it. A action-filled day in my life as an ER nurse.
