Good job to Tiffany and her team!=) My article. Modified from my post "What exactly is Housemanship?".Hope the students will like it ;)Indeed I'm so glad

Why These were Missed?

I've seen a few cases over the last week and I really have some thoughts to share:Case 1A 70 year-old man complained of progressive abdominal distension and went to a hospital. He was told to have "angin" in the abdomen and was discharged with Syr MMT (antacid).Case 2A 8 year-old boy complained of "abdominal discomfort". He was told to have "gastritis" and was discharged with Syr MMT, too.Case 3A

beyond inspiration

I'm in complete awe of Karen Dolmanisth's work. It inspires me. It touches me. It's the kind of work I wish I were doing. If only I had the vision, the clarity, the devotion to practice that she does.
I met Karen a few years ago at the Exit Art performance exhibition praying project we were both participating in. I immediately connected with her collection of natural and found objects, the ritualistic prayerful way in which she interacted with them and her reverence for process.
So how do we, as artists, respectfully riff on the work of others, allowing ourselves to be inspired to greater depths in our own work without plagarizing the work that ignites our imagination?
It's an interesting issue. I've talked with writers about this too.
It's easy to feel we own certain phrases. But Google them and you find you're not the only one.
Concepts themselves, exclusive of execution aren't covered under copyright laws.
So what do you think? Have you had the experience of feeling that some has ripped you off? Or would you feel honored? Do you knock off others in your work. What is the line you can't cross? What lines does your conscience create that hold you back?
It's a rich area for exploration.

A Special On-call: Bodyguard Experience

I'm back from a special mission, sort of. Ha. I was on-call two days back, and it turned out to be an unsual one. Got an order from my department head that, a VVIP is coming to Taiping to visit and he requested a medical team to standby throughout his trip, and ya, I'm the MO who's going!It's a rather new experience to me. In fact, it's less stressful than what I thought. Basically what I need to

Acute-on-chronic Exhaustion!

Red alarm.I'm (actually every MO in A&E) having some really tough times now. Currently Emergency department is having shortage of MOs and the condition is further worsened after one of my colleagues has got her transferring letter which is effective immediately, and one went into labour and subsequently maternal leave. So there are now only few MOs left, and the craziest thing is, now we even

Dance with Crutches?

I sorta came across this on Youtube and I was deeply captivated (make sure you watch till it finishes):A long "Wooow"? I initially thought this is just so cool and the guy must be a genius. But I had one thing to ask, as most of the ppl would, that "Does he really need the crutches?" Then I read a little more about him at his website. Then I was stunned.Bill Shannon, aka the "Crutch Master", has

Just Another Jonah Call

Just finished my 3 consecutive night shifts..tiring! And one of the nights was particularly jonah. Well, let the pictures tell the stories.A 66 year-old man with no known comorbids, with history of fever for a week, presented with severe SOB.

Ya..finally! My new magic vid after the last one which was shot in 06..before my housemanship actually ha. Took this in the Starbucks at Gardens. This vid is a compilation of some of my new ideas in flourishy card revelations, plus two of my favourite card effects "Twisting the Aces" and "Bizarre twist". Very classical tricks, and have been included in my signature performance routine all these
