This is how doctors are made....

The word poverty often brings to mind images of hungry children, families living in shantytowns, or people begging on the sides of roads. Poverty, however, is not just a problem of the developing world. The World Bank describes, "Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time."1

Millions of families in the United States experience hunger, live in substandard housing, lack access to affordable health care, send their children to underperforming schools, and struggle to find stable employment, particularly employment that will pay a living wage.

In the United States 10 percent of all familiesâ€"7.6 million familiesâ€"live in poverty.2 Even more families live above the official poverty line but still struggle to cover basic necessities. For instance, 75 percent of the 45.8 million Americans with no health insurance live above the poverty line. Employed workers and their children constitute the majority of those without insurance.3

POVERTY AND SINGLE MOTHERS
One type of family is more likely to be affected by poverty than any other: single-mother families. Today a single mother heads one out of every eight families in the United States. While only 10 percent of all families in the United States live in poverty, nearly 40 percent of single-mother families live in poverty. Single-mother families are five times more likely to live in poverty than two-parent families.4

Why do single-mothers families struggle so much more than other families? The vast majority of single moms work; however, single mothers often do not have the education or work experience needed to command a high salary.5 The average income for a single-mother family is only $26,000 a year, lower than the average income for a single-father family or a two-parent family.6 Single moms also often find it difficult to work long hours, since they must also care for their children.

In a recent focus group, single moms agreed that their two most pressing challenges are earning enough money to support their families and having enough time to spend with their children. Other challenges include:

    They lack the time, funds, and support to obtain the additional education necessary to secure a better job.
    They confront the ever-present dilemma of finding quality, affordable child care.
    They lack the formal safety net to guard against an economic shock, leaving them one accident or illness away from losing everything.

One single mother works for a doctor during the day and then spends an extra hour after closing to clean the officeâ€"those sixty minutes help her financially but take a toll. She explains, "That hour is precious to me. It's either that extra time for me to sleep so I can feel like I'm a human, or it's a moment with my kids."

These challenges leave many single moms feeling trapped. As one expressed, "I'm struggling here to stay above water, and I know what I need to do, but I can't do it because I don't have the resources."

Preliminary results from a statewide survey of Utah's single mothers indicate that 75 percent of single mothers in Utah could maintain their families' current standard of living for less than a month if they had an interruption in their income. Thirty-five percent of Utah single mothers could not even maintain their families for one week if they lost their income.

The hardships faced by single mothers can lead to increased emotional stress. Many feel guilty or anxious because of the limited time they spend with their children. These challenges can also impact their children. The children of single parents are statistically less likely to finish high school and are more likely to have children as teenagers. These negative outcomes are largely due to the smaller income single moms are likely to have.7

all alone am i in the house.  everyone's out and i didn't feel like going out.  not in this sunless weather.  i'd rather listen to some good, old songs and think of the guitar chords.  yeah, the word is 'think', because i gave up my guitar for the banana republic's friend some years back.  his friend, who seemed to be emotionally falling apart, had borrowed my guitar, and the banana republic felt that he needed it more than i did.  now i can't help but think of that guitar because that was the banana republic's valentine gift to me 15 years ago! 

did i regret the gesture?  i don't think so.  but i did tell the banana republic that i didn't want to see that guy again.  so far, so good. 

lisod bitaw ihatag ang belonging with deep sentimental value.

My current home away from home.

I talked to one of my colleagues, Dr. Del Rosario, about the possibility of doing clinical research at Rush Memorial Hospital , a research-teaching hospital in downtown Chicago, on Diabetes Mellitus Type I and II. Apparently, there are positions available on the summer for a 2 month-long research internship. I am still debating if I should proceed and submit my candidacy.

hahahaha !

Just finished the 5th paper for my Psychometrics & Statistics class. Taking this class has been an asset to me in having a better appreciation for how medical researchers compile data, analyze data via multiple t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-Square tests and other processes related to this very interesting subset of medicine.

So far, my professor, Dr. Leonard, who is a very rigid and hard-line type of instructor was able to convey to us the importance of analyzing instances how to read Post-Hoc analysis when observing the effects of 3-5 independent variables on dependent variables.

Given, I was a bit whizzed at it because it was a "while" since i used statistical analysis. We were not taught this in medical school, so I had to remember some theoretical concepts (which meant opening my old statistical text books from undergrad) lol.

Since this is my first "statistical" class for my Ph.D requirement, I have to get used to it. Next term, I have elected to take Multivariate Statistics II with Dr. Leonard. At first, I did not like this man, but now, I've grown acquainted to his teaching style. Forward !

baaahahaaaa! fiki ra, hubag ra pariho bitaw ni sila duha nga colorful kaayo ...

I had the very unpleasant circumstance of having to sit next to a man who ate 4 baluts when i was on the ship ride to Maasin, Southern Leyte back in August 2010. O man. I had to take bonamine.

Mamords kaayo oy, lami kusion.

Just got back from work , i had to fill in for Professor Esther , who was attending Jury Duty today. The class that I filled in was Anatomy & Physiology I , most of the students in that class were Nursing and Physical Therapy students. Class started at 5:00 PM and ended at 9:30 AM. I was 6 minutes late today because of traffic. I lectured on Chapter 2 , which dealt with body chemistry, pH, covalent bond , ionic bond, hydrogen bond, carbon reactions, and body electrolytes.

I took roll call at about 5:10 PM, and the facial expression of the students was priceless. One asked me , "Excuse me, sir, aren't you too young to be be lecturing?".

"Absolutely not. Would you prefer to lecture?" The class burst into laughter, broke the ice. The 4 hour lecture that i gave was at par, i would say. I gave them some high yield clinical information in addition to the material that was prescribed. There were about 60 students in that class.

Correct gajud ka dyan, Bai Chris. Di mamatay ang Rabies Virus by cooking, it is highly resistant to heat. It must be destroyed via appropriate anti-virals. That is why rabid dogs are disposed properly.
