One would hope that those governing the prisons would be principled individuals; after all, inmates are in prison for committing a crime, and you’d think the guards would set an example. If that sounds a little too Hollywood, it is. According to a recent Mother Jones article, inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women who complained of abuse by guards were thrown into the hole (solitary confinement). As Just Detention International (formerly Stop Prisoner Rape) points out, the process of banishing prisoners to solitary confinement after reporting an incident discourages them from reporting abuse – and encoura...

Professor Datuk Dr Lokman Saim, the dean of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Medicine Faculty and UKM Medical Centre director, made the call in view of the rising number of new graduate doctors intending to work in Singapore this year. “The government should only allow doctors trained at public universities to work abroad after completing the three-year compulsory public service for doctors, as stipulated by the health ministry,” he said in a statement here today. He noted that 20 out of UKM’s 209 m...

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned as an expat, it’s that pangs of homesickness strike at the most unexpected moments. There I was, minding my own business and indulging in a pedicure (like most things in Australia, they cost about 30% more than they do back home), when “Empire State of Mind” came on a TV video channel countdown. As images of New York flashed before me, and Alicia Keys warbled about my adopted hometown’s rejuvenating powers, I suddenly felt very far away, and a lump began to form in my throat. A row of nail technicians stared as my eyes welled up and I began to sniffle; they quizzically swiveled their he...

Everything had been prepared in advance and I’d practiced my brief speech, in my formal role as ‘mother of the bride.’ Because I am an anal retentive type, I had already taken account of every possible eventuality, everything except that one. After a few words to the adults, it was time to include the children, as speeches are especially boring for youngsters. So I called them, all the children. Invited them to join their parents for a few seconds, and of course they all did so, little obedient lambs, except one, the black sheep of the family. I had him in my sites, clearly. I could see him as he froze in response to my call, caught in t...

Then maybe you need to think about living abroad.  According to a new research by the American Psychological Association, living abroad expands the mind. This conclusion is based on 5 studies involving students at Sorbonne University, INSEAD and the Kellogg School of Management in the US.  Of course, despite these findings, moving abroad does not guarantee a budding writer or artist will create the perfect masterpiece or manuscript. But as an expat, it’s interesting to know that living overseas is possibly increasing my creativity. One more reason to stay where I am!

Though I have gotten over this and next year will be my forth year of studying abroad, from time to time some thoughts and moments bring back memories and feelings of love, loneliness, gratefulness, regret, ...Well tonight, what brought back these feelings was this song:If you liked this post please share it Have a nice day. http://prep4md.blogspot.com/ (Source: My M.D. Journey!)
