WHAT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS BLOG? WHY FIBRE HYPOTHESIS IN HEMATOLOGY BLOG???

Hi friends,

This should have been my first blog actually…

But when I started writing, even I was not aware that I will be writing about non- hematology topics and presently fibre hypothesis in my blog.

Since so many non-hematology posts coming up, I thought let me write a post clarifying it.

First, let me tell you how this blog started...

I am a doctor, pathologist, hematopathologist from a small beach town, French Capital of India, Pondicherry. I am interested in hematology, and I am more curious, I get motivated, inspired when I read about the history of various inventions and discoveries. I used to take active part in quiz related to hematology and that’s how I started reading various articles about stories related to discoveries and the people related to them.

Yes, I felt like reading a story. I never felt like reading an article or something related to subject. The more I was reading, I was going deep into it and slowly it became my hobby.  I was keen those days, how these great peoples’ thinking were, how curious they were, how they  had the inclination towards observing patients and how much patience they had for everything. The first disease which I read was about Hodgkin disease. Being a woman, when I read about Dorothy Reed, I really got very inspired. There are many such people who inspired me.

I somehow feel if we have that kind of patience and observing skills, we can also learn better and be unique.

And now why this fibre hypothesis in hematology blog?

Before writing this post about fibres’ historical importance, even I was thinking if it would be appropriate, if I write about it in hematology blog.

Then the thought came, why not??

If a discoverer of hematological diseases, has also discovered something not related to hematology, why not share that also. This blog is about hematology topics and the people related to hematology. It motivated me in one way as I realized the importance of keeping my mind and my eyes open and I should not restrict only to hematopathology or pathology.

I should be open in my thoughts, my observing skills, being a doctor and being a human being as well.

Earlier doctor with only MBBS was treating adults, children, conducting deliveries, doing surgeries, etc etc. Now, we have branched extensively, that we restrict ourselves to our specialities, we put a wall for ourselves and are reluctant to think beyond that.. MBBS became MD/MS then DM/MCH and even still branching into smaller zones as post DM/MCH fellowships. Specialities and super specialities are needed, but we should not restrict so much.

 I wanted to share the stories which inspired me and am sure it will motivate and inspire you as well.

I am new to writing blogs and I welcome suggestions and comments from all my dear friends, readers and followers..

Thank you for your constant support….
