Back to beginnings with the Oath of Oaths 🩺👩🏻⚕️
Hippocratic Oath
I swear to fulfil, to the best of my ability and judgement, this covenant:
- I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
- I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
- I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.
- I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
- I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
- I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
- I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
- I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my
fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
- If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

隨著選舉人團投票日逼近，川普陣營透過德州檢察總長提出新的訴訟，要求聯邦最高法院排除數以百萬計的拜登選票，重新提名總統選舉人代表，或改由眾議院進行總統選舉。
我的猜測是，雖然保守派大法官有人數上的絕對優勢，但由於川普陣營並沒有提出任何具體的證據，多是基於猜測，聯邦最高法院應該會直接駁回此一請求，連言詞辯論程序都會直接略過。
川普這次真是刷新羞恥度的下限，這樣的人也拿到7000萬的選票，真是讓美國民主淪為笑話。

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to block millions of votes from four battleground states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump's request came in a filing with the court asking to intervene in a lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton seeking to invalidate millions of votes cast in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.....
Trump says the battleground states used the pandemic "as an excuse" and "ignored or suspended the operation of numerous state laws designed to protect the integrity of the ballot."
He asks the court to block the states from using "constitutionally infirm 2020 election results" unless the legislatures of the states "review the 2020 election results."
He stressed that if any of the states have "already appointed electors to the electoral college using the 2020 election results," the legislatures have the authority to appoint "a new set of electors."
Or the election could go to the House, where Trump would presumably win.

Today is Singapore Nurses’ Day. It is a day to honour our nurses who have dedicated their lives to looking after the sick and infirm. It is backbreaking, thankless work — often, they sacrifice time with their families to ensure that we get to spend more time with ours.
Nursing is a calling, and this is certainly true of Mr Clement Ng. Formerly an engineer in the oil and gas industry, he was drawn to nursing as a career at the age of 59! Today, he works in a community hospital caring for patients.
Nursing is in its 135th year in Singapore. It has come a long way: over the years, the role has expanded, with community nurses like Clement becoming more widespread. Today there are about 42,000 nurses in Singapore, who care for their patients both in and out of hospitals. Amidst this COVID-19 crisis, their role is more critical than ever. It has been a tough six months, but we are in good shape thanks to your efforts. I, and all of Singapore, thank you for your tireless service. Happy Nurses’ Day! – LHL

最近有眼尖的孩子發現：
俐媽總是穿長裙，
而且有時候腳會一跛一跛(limp)的⋯⋯
其實是幾週前梅雨季(plum rain)時，
心急腳快的俐媽滑了一大跤，
全身壓在自己的右小腿(calf)上，
當下我還立馬站起，
向身邊的人揮手👋🏼表示我很ok，
心中OS:
我寶力未老，咖骨軟Q～
當晚有冰敷，
隔幾天也沒大礙
俐媽還照常運動、爬山⋯⋯
不久前，
俐媽發現腳不太能彎曲(bend)，
蹲下時膝蓋會劇痛到無法馬上站起，
且右小腿會酸軟麻😖，
終於乖乖去看醫生了⋯
醫生說我傷了筋膜和肌腱(tendon)，
要我定期針炙、電療、敷藥、減少劇烈運動。
😭真希望自己快快好起來！
有學生說，
看俐媽在台上教書又跳又扭，
看不出來受傷呀？
讓你看出來，
我就不是pro級的俐媽了呀😉！
