A great speech about Day of Judgement

I can't stop listening to this lecture and watching this video...It is really thought provoking and is such a powerful message. It makes you realise that life is temporary. We always need a reminder that we all have to die one day. It is so obvious even the non-muslims and every human knows they will die one day. But it is not thought upon, that what will happen once we die?? Nobody ever truly wants to ponder on this. But once they do, they will realise that it is really not known. By not known I mean in general the human beings, really cannot comprehend what will happen to them after death. Some may wish to joke about it and some may think that after death there is nothing. But this is just an attempt to brush asides one's purpose in life. We do have a purpose and if you think about it deeply there MUST be a purpose in life. It all comes back to the basic belief of a Creator. There are signs of the Creator and there are even signs of Day of Judgement. This universe does have an end point and this is even mentioned in Science. Anywayz just listen to this speech. It is only 4 minutes, but the actual lecture is 53 minutes long. You can decide to watch them both.....

The state of Hospitals in Pukhtunkhwa

There are like two major hospitals in Peshawar, Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) and Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH). As I am in my 4th year, we spend like 3 hours in KTH going to different wards every week and learning new things from the Doctors. Recently we had to go to the Orthopaedic ward, which was so congested. It was unbelievable, usually people with broken legs and broken arms come to this ward. Yet there was no sitting place for them. They would be held by someone else and waiting outside for their turn. It must be quite painful for the patients. I took a picture so you can just try to understand what it is like. I think the hospital administration have totally neglected this ward. Like at least people should have a place to sit....

  The medical wards are not as bad. Then when you would go inside one of the rooms on the left, there would be an Orthopaedic specialist surrounded by 5 Junior Doctors who don't have a clue about Orthopaedics. They were as clueless as we were. Patients would fill the room and the Junior Doctors would just ask silly questions and just waste time doing the wrong things. It was just pure chaos. If you complain about these things people will just tell you, that you should be grateful we even have a hospital. No doubt the Doctors are facing difficult with low funds. But at least there are things you can do which does not require money. Changing your attitude requires no money. They say if your educated people are having these bad qualities, what do you expect from the illiterate people. I have seen that illiteracy is a major problem but then at the same time as a Doctor you have principles. If an illiterate person comes to a hospital in England, no matter how much he annoys the Doctor he will have to comfort him and he will definately not be allowed to get angry or abuse the patient. It is quite common in the hospitals in Peshawar to see a Doctor shouting at his patients and even swearing at them.

I have to say there are however quite a few Doctors who go out their way to help the needy and do extra work although getting no extra pay. With the lack of resources they have done a great job and service to the people. It would be great to see these kind of Doctors in every ward and every hospital, then we would see a revolutionary change in the health system despite under funding from the government.
