The Silent Challenges of Night Shifts in Emergency Medicine
Disclaimer: All identifying details have been modified to protect patient privacy. Working in emergency medicine means preparing for the unexpected, but nothing quite compares to the unique challenges of the night shift. The hospital at 2 a.m. has a different rhythm—slower in some ways, but no less intense. The quiet hum of the monitors, the echo of footsteps in near-empty hallways, the heightened focus that comes when resources are stretched thin—these are the realities of working while the rest of the city sleeps.

My fifth challenge - 7 Pill Puzzle: Navigating Complexities of Depression Treatment
My next challenge was taking seven medications twice daily. In the past 5 years, I had started taking them three times a day but then stopped. This was a bad decision, as my psychiatrist explained that when I stopped, my body developed a tolerance, requiring higher doses each time I restarted the medications. Previously, I had taken them for three months, stopped, then restarted for six months before stopping again.

MUDRAS
Various symbolic postures involving the fingers, eyes, and body can vividly depict different states or processes of consciousness. Mudras engage specific areas of the brain, exerting corresponding influences on them. By bending, crossing, extending, or touching the fingers, we can effectively engage and influence both our body and mind. The Origin of Mudras The origin of mudras remains a mystery. Mudras are not limited to Asia; they are used worldwide in various rituals. European ancestors, for example, employed specific gestures to emphasize and affirm their thoughts and intentions. During the Christianization of the Nordic peoples, many gestures, such as raising arms to invoke the gods, were initially prohibited. Later, some of these gestures were partially integrated into Christian practices. Observing the gestures of a priest during Mass offers insight into how ancient peoples expressed themselves. Even today, everyday gestures like crossing fingers for luck, clapping hands in applause, shaking hands, holding hands, or making offensive gestures carry meanings whose origins are often unknown.
