Q3 Asa surgeon, what is the most shocking thing you ever saw after opening somebody up? A3 Dr Enamul Hoque, Doctor at Governmentof West Bengal (1993–present)23h I am anobstetrician and gynaecologist, mbbs,dgo, ms, posted under the government ofwest bengal, india. I performed one caesarean section and delivered a healthybaby of a mother in the government settings. While cleaning the abdomen, Icould feel something unusual in the abdomen.I asked the lady for anythingabnormal activities in the past. She revealed nothing. Observing and feelingsome thing hard within the gut, I smelled something bad which is beyond myacademics and long period of service experience. Which prompted me to curiosityand something serious issues and deterred me from closing the abdomen from myconscience point of view. I sent a urgent call book to my surgeon friend to cometo Operation theatre immediately and he came very soon and I explainedeverything to him on an urgent basis. He became involved in the operation andwe jointly decided to explore the gut . We opened the bowel and to our uttersurprise , it is eight( 8) inches long wooden stick, which we recovered fromher bowel. We closed the abdomen and recovery of the lady was uneventful andsurprisingly satisfactory. On repeated questioning, she revealed that she haddone one abortion by a quack about 10 years back,who performed the abortionwith a long stick. I understood the matter immediately that the abortion stickhad perforated her uterus and after that it perforated her bowel and went fullyinside the bowel , to remain within it for such a long time without making anyfurther complications.We recovered the stick from her bowel.The matter waspublished in the newspaper in the next day , as the matter in question , isreally unbelievable. Since the lady didn't give me any history, I could haveclosed the abdomen as such. She might have had many problems later on.On thepart of the patient , everything should be disclosed to the doctor for thebenefit of the patient, himself/ herself. It's my sixth sense which saved herfrom future further complications. Not otherwise, it should have been informedto me by the patient which she didn't do. Moral of the story , expect theunexpected and to be prepared for the action as and when necessary as per thedemand and gravity of the situation. In every sphere of life, we have to acteven with the sixth sense. Q4 What'syour favorite stupid joke? A4 Gordon Hayes,Former I Spent 50 YearsCarting Logs With a Manual Gearbox Tue A woman whorented a second story flat beside a railway line complained to her landlord formonths about the rattling and shaking the trains caused as they passed. On thephone she continuously asked for a flat further from the line but the landlordalways said it can't be that bad. One day she rang him again and said l wantyou to come to my flat and see for yourself how bad it is. So the landlordarrived at her flat and she said there's a train due in 3 minutes, so you'llsee what l mean. It's worse when l'm trying to sleep so why don't you lie onthe bed beside me and you'll experience what l'm talking about? So the landlordlay on the bed beside her. A minute later her husband walked in and said ‘ullo‘ullo, what's going on ’ere then? The landlord, looking embarrassed, said youwon't believe this, but we're waiting for a train. Q5 Ifthe Earth is actually a sphere, why can't I drive in one direction andeventually return to where I started? A5 Geoffrey Widdison, Been learningscience since I was six, still getting started. Updated Feb 20 You know, my7-year-old asked me exactly the same question the other day. Now, she’s theinquisitive type, who responds to every answer by changing the hypothetical, soI’ll recount the exchange I had with her. -We can’tdrive in one direction, because the roads don’t go in the same directionforever. -Well, whatif they did? -Then wecould drive along that road until we ran out of gas. -What if wehad a magic car that didn’t need gas? -Then wecould drive until we got to the ocean, then we’d have to stop. -What if wehad a magic car that could drive on water? -If we triedto drive on the ocean, we’d probably get swamped in bad weather. -But what ifwe didn’t? -Then we’dget pretty hungry. -What if ourcar had all the food and water in the world? -Then we’dget pretty tired. -What if wenever had to sleep? -Well, inthat case, if we kept driving west, we’d eventually drive across the Gulf ofCalifornia, cross Baja California, drive across the Pacific Ocean, come ashorein China, have to drive across Tibet and the Himalayas, cross central Asia andthe Middle East, drive over the Nile, cross North Africa, then drive off intothe Atlantic, drive across that ocean, eventually hit the US East Coast again,and then drive right back home. The reasonwe can’t do that in real life is because all of the magical preconditions ofher scenario aren’t met. Develop a car that never needs fuel, can drive overoceans, as well as mountains, forests, swamps canyons and sand without everyrefueling, and that can hold enough food and water for the trip, then you coulddo it. Or, for amethod that doesn’t require magic (or implausible technology), you could simplyfly around the world, go in the same basic direction. If you fly from LosAngeles to Shanghai to Islamabad to Damascus to Casablanca to New York to LosAngeles you could end up back in the same place you started, despite going westfor every leg.
