Q1 After seeing the financial condition ofmany doctors, I regret coming into the MBBS. Should I consider changing myfield? A1 KritiAgarwal MBBS from Topiwala NationalMedical College and Nair Hospital (Graduated 2020)April 10, 2017 On the very first day of my MBBScourse in college, we had an orientation program in which we were called withour parents in the auditorium. It will always be one of the memorable days ofmy life. But on the very same day, I hearda speech from one of our professors which changed my thoughts. He told us that if you haveentered this field because you want money and you think that there's lots ofmoney in this profession then leave. Leave this auditorium and leave thiscourse. Its not late yet. You can always switch. We all were like how can he askus to leave so easily when we know we have worked hard and are now here. I understood this statement aftersome time when I saw how a hospital works and how a doctor works. A doctor works for money but itis not his or her sole aim to come to medical college. Behind the money that he charges,there is around 10+ years of hardwork that is not seen. There are many other ways to earna decent amount of money. Don't come to this profession formoney. You'll regret. Come and stay only if you haveinterest in medicine and really want to help people with compassion.

A3 3 AnswersGautam Borisagar, Student-cum-teacher (2017-present)Answered October 5, 2017 If we do not wash hair, 2 literis sufficient, with hair it depends on length of hair! Take a plastic waterbottle of one liter. Put a hole in the cap. Fill the bottle with water and getwet easily in less then 3/4 liter water. Apply soap, rub body with soft plasticwire or scrubber you normally use. Again pore water through holed bottle. Ihave comfortably taken bath this way many times.

Try it once! 2ND ANSWER Jessica Foster, Mom of 2 AnsweredSeptember 1, 2015 If we're talking about the verybasics, you can take a sponge bath with a wet cloth. Very little water.

Q5 Why is the motherland used to describea state or nation instead of the fatherland? A5 Anton VanNiekerkTrader at Self-Employment (2004–present)13m ago They are both used, it justdepends on the country, so in Germanic language nations, its usually Fathelandbut this can switch to Motherland in others. It really goes according to whatsounds right, and also in Latin languages, like French, inanimate items ( suchas nations) are assigned a gender, it English only ships get this, so that hassomething to do with it because in French, France is feminine, hence it wouldnot be a Fatherland to them…..the French do have some countries that havemasculine names, like Mexico, but mostly they are female. I have no idea howthe French determine the gender of a country. Functionally, distilled,deionized and RO filtered water are the same. They contain no minerals and noother substances, only hydrogen and oxygen though different means were used tomake the water that way. Rainwater is the product ofcondensation, just like distilled water is, so it has no minerals in it eitherbut often is quite acidic due to pollution it comes in contact with on its wayback to earth from the clouds. Rainwater can’t be relied on tobe clean enough to drink but otherwise is very similar to distilled or ROwater. Demineralization is a whole otherballgame in terms of how it works, utilizing ion exchange resins, which canusually be regenerated to use again, but how effective it is compared todistillation or RO filtration, I do not know. It’s used mostly in watertreatment plants, as I understand it. What Is Water Demineralizationand How Does It Work? Are you investigating options forindustrial water treatment and purification? This article simplifies what waterdemineralization is and how it works... https://www.samcotech.com/what-is-demineralization-and-how-does-it-work/ As for whether distilled water is‘better than’ rainwater, I suppose it would depend on what you intend to use itfor. The rainwater is certainly cheaper but isn’t pure. Q6 What is the cheapest thing that youbought that gave you the most happiness?

Is this caused by an old hot water tank or something else? Isit safe to bathe/shower in the water? A8 CherylJohnson, certificat Clinical Laboratory Science, University of IowaHospitals and Clinics (2000) Answered March 17, 2019 If it isonly in your bath water, and never anywhere else, you probably have somegalvanized steel pipe leading to your bath. In that case, you have nothing toworry about, except that your pipe is rusting, and will most likely spring aleak sometime. Run the water till it is clear, or bathe in it. It won't matter.It is just a little iron oxide. It built up when you did not use that pipe fora while. Brown water in the entire watersupply can be from the pipes in the mains having been flushed with acid as aroutine measure to keep them from getting plugged. Usually, the water peoplewill inform a neighborhood this is planned and warn people not to drink thewater for a few hours. After they tell you it is ok to use your water again,you will want to flush your system for a few minutes after the water is flowingclear again. The city usually opens a few fire hydrants to get the contaminatedwater out a little faster. If neither of these explanationsfit, you probably want to have your water tested, and find out what is in thewater. 2nd answer Terry McGeary, former Lecturer inBioscience/ Teaching-Learning Advisor at Clydebank College (1979-2010)AnsweredMarch 17, 2019 If only brown occasionally, thenI would suspect work has been done on the cold water supply, perhaps to repaira burst. The water may be brownish for a while until it all flushes through.That’s assuming you are on mains water supply. When that happens where I live,if it’s major we are told that the water is safe to drink but should be boiledanyway. I would leave the cold taps running for 10 minutes or so until thecolour has gone. Contact the water board if still unhappy about it. 3rd answer Robert Adams, studied at University ofWashington Answered March 17, 2019 Old pipes Old water heater Old water distribution to your house Periodic maintenance on yourwater distribution When you say brown, I don't knowif we are talking about mud & silt or rust. I also don't know if you havemunicipal water or a well. If it happens everytime you takea bath, and doesn't impact your neighbors, I blame your water heater or yourpipes or your well. If it happens seasonally, I blamethe water company. As for safe? I would not drink ituntil I figured out where it is coming from. 4th answwrRoger Bliss, Engineer / Programmer(1987-present)Answered August 3 Iron in the water.

Q10 Is it needed to switch OFF the powersupply to Aquaguard Geneus Water Purifier when it indicates 'Full water level'? A10 Kumbh TechnoCare, DirectorAnswered May 10, 2018 Any fully automatic RO waterpurifier doesn't require to switch off the machine. When you take a glass ortwo of water, it automatically starts and refills the water. Also, by doingthis, life of the components will be good, as they continuously run only for afew minutes. If you switch off and switch ononly when the tank is empty, machine continue running time will be more andchances of heating up of the equipment will be more. When the flexiblecomponents like diaphragm of the pump gets heatedup, the softness may reduce inlesser time and life of the diaphragm comes down. Also the solenoid valve…etc. Please correct me or suggest me,if anyone thinks that my statement is wrong. 2NDANSWER Jovi George, M.Sc ChemistryAnswered October 1,2017 It's the same as a mobilecharger. If you keep it on, it still consumes a little power - around 5 Watts.Though it is not high, when you consider the number of chargers around, thatwill be a lot of wasted electricity. So the water purifier of kept on, will consumeelectricity when idle. This may reduce its life. There is no harm inswitching it off when the tank is full and putting it back on when you need tofill the tank. All the above QA are based on Quora digest to me on 02-09-2021.
