When Medicine Cannot Cure: What Is the True Duty of a Doctor?

Image
  If euthanasia should not be legalized, then society must ask a more difficult and more compassionate question: what should a doctor do when a patient cannot be cured? The answer reveals something essential about medicine itself. The duty of a doctor is not exhausted when treatment fails, because medicine is not only about defeating disease; it is also about standing faithfully beside the suffering person. A distinction must therefore be made between curing and caring. Curing refers to the elimination of disease or restoration of health. Caring, however, goes deeper. It involves relieving pain , preserving dignity , offering honest guidance, and refusing to abandon the patient even when recovery is no longer medically possible. A doctor may reach the limits of cure, but should never reach the limits of compassion . This is why palliative care is so important in modern medicine. Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life of patients facing serious or terminal illnes...

  Life is beautiful, especially when fate places one on the brighter side of existence. It unfolds in joy, adventure, and memory when lived within the warmth of a nurturing and encouraging environment. Along life’s journey, we meet souls who pass like fleeting shadows, and others whose presence leaves an imprint that time cannot erase. Attah is one such soul, a friend who became a brother. Blessed was his upbringing. His father laboured tirelessly, providing for his household and serving his community, yet as it is said, man proposes and God disposes. He left for the land of the silent ones in their early stage of life. His mother, steadfast and devoted, nurtured discipline, diligence, and learning within her children. God Bless our Parents. Ameen. Among them stood Abdullah , a brilliant mind, once the finest technical student of our school days. His work bore the marks of precision and elegance, his hands guided by uncommon creativity he is the true definition of neatness and acc...

AI, Traditional Medicine, and Modern Medicine: A Synergistic Relationship

Image
  The history of medicine reflects humanity’s continuous effort to understand disease, preserve life, and improve wellbeing. From traditional healing systems rooted in indigenous knowledge , through the rise of modern biomedical science , to the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare , each phase represents not a replacement of the former, but an expansion of medical capacity. Rather than existing as a trilemma—where one must be chosen at the expense of others—AI, traditional medicine, and modern medicine can be understood as a powerful synergy that integrates knowledge, technology, and human-centered care. Traditional medicine represents the earliest form of organized healthcare. It is grounded in cultural beliefs, empirical observations, and long-standing practices passed down through generations. Systems such as African traditional medicine, Ayurveda , and Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasize holistic care, prevention, and the interconnectedness of body, mi...

Should Euthanasia Be Allowed? A Comprehensive Argument Against.

Image
  I saw the post above and was disappointed in our behavior as a society. It is very unfortunate how we are supposed to be a more civilized generation, but sometimes we lack empathy , and we even try to prove our ill-decision with weak logic. Our parents never intentionally opted to kill us because we were too sick, a lot of them even pause their personal careers to make sure we survive our challenges. They never gave any form of Mvrd3r a fancy nomenclature as mercy keiling to make it sound less brutal, even when in the actual sense, it's a cold act of MVRD3R. In fact, this practice has no place in our culture and religion. Euthanasia must be rejected. Euthanasia should not be legalized because it undermines the sanctity of life , threatens the ethical foundations of medicine and society, and diverts attention from humane alternatives such as palliative care . At the heart of the opposition lies the conviction that human life possesses inherent value that law and society are boun...

The Source

Honey is sweet, It is medicinal, healing to the flesh, And its source is natural. But I do not desire honey alone, Let me have the bee, Better yet, the bee hive So I don't beg again. You are the hypothalamus,  And I, a humble gland,  Living at your signals, Your decision control us, I live by your command.   But like the pancreas, I have more than one purpose. You have given me fish, Teach me how to fish. Not to end up phishing, Nor fish in vain. For this is my pitch And here, I shall pitch my tent. I am a beekeeper, Practicer of apiculture, Rich in honey and wax, But there's more to this culture. Like Oliver twist,  I only ask for more, For I may lack Steeze, But never ambition. Read my words again, In the language of growth. For even abundance  seeks to multiply. ®Ahmed Salim Jn ✍️  #Uloko
