Patients

THE PATIENT is the most important person.

He is not dependent on us,
We are dependent on him.

He is not an interruption to our business,
He is the purpose of it.

He is not an outsider to our business,
He is a part of it.

We are not doing him a favour by serving him,
He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.

Adapted from the works of Mahatma Gandhi.

Do you have an ICE NUMBER??

Do you have an ICE NUMBER??

You probably should. Its a number (often from your family member) entered in your cell phone contact list under ICE (for in case of Emergency).

When you encounter any health issues in public, people can look for this number in case if you're unable to talk.

Lose weight with this trick

Torch calories with this workout trick:

 




















Need to drop an extra 10 pounds? Researchers in Australia have discovered a fat burning shortcut. Here's the trick: Hop on an exercise bike and do 8 seconds of intense cycling, followed by 12 seconds of light cycling; repeat for a total of 20 minutes. Women who did this lost three times as much fat (especially from their legs and butts) as women who exercised at a steady pace for 40 minutes. The intervals help your body produce more fat burning compounds called catecholamines. Swimming, walking, or the elliptical trainer may have the same fat-burning kick, researcher says.

So go go go, get on your bikes or get your patients on the bike.
