The importance of routine general cardiopulmonary exams

Recently, during a European premiere league football game, Bolton’s mid field player Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the field. It was later diagnosed that he had experienced a cardiac arrest event while playing Following this event, Today, march 22 another football midfield player across the continent in India, experienced the same thing! Unfortunately while Muamba lived to see another day, 27 years old Venkatesh, who played for A-division Bangalore Mars died of cardiac arrest . You can read more about the incident at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com .  They also have pictures which I would not recommend for the faint at heart.

Winter/Early Spring 2012 PlayList

February and March has me spending a lot of time in textbooks, online, and in the library doing research and reading up on some projects and whatnot am currently working on. Hence, I've needed some good musique to keep me company during these daunting tasks. My current playlist has been in the R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic sounds. They have helped me stay so immersed in my work on several occasions the librarian has had to literary tap me on the shoulder coz i didnt hear the intercom or see the blinking lights that where an indication of the library closing. What music keeps you focus while working/studying? 1. ASA 2. Richard Bona 3. Celtic Woman 4. Lord of the rings sound tracks...i know..random but have you listened to the musique? its amazing...while watching the film,you get so caught up in the story line i feel like you don't really appreciate the music compositions. 5. Manu Dibango 6. Enya 7.Henrie Dikongue 8. Oh Land.....hmm Indie mus...

What company do you keep?

This past weekend , I attend the Harvard Business School's 14th Annual Africa Business Conference. It was a great networking opportunity and i walked away from the experience with the inspiration to keep pursuing my dreams. Since I attended a collection of panels based on different topics, its been hard trying to merge all the information into one blog post. As a young professional, I cannot stress the importance of networking and following up on those contacts after the event. Initially when i registered for the conference, I was a little bit apprehensive on showing up alone giving that i am new in Boston and haven't really made any friends. However, I was pleasantly surprise to run into a lot of my friends from out of town and acquaintances i had met previously through other net working events. The icing on the cake was running into other Cameroonian health care professionals who where also trying to figure out the journey to go b...

Cameroon played Guinea-Bissau and barely managed to score 3 mins to game over......na wah oh...are these boys kidding me?!! At this rate we will never make an appearance in the 2014 world cup. Are they trying to tell us they are incapable of anything without Eto? This is their opportunity to shine and they are throwing it away in the gutter. Here is a clip of the game-winning goal by striker Eric Choupo-Moting. Christ! the video footage looks like something from 1985. Courtesy of CRTV +  AFNEX In other news, my all time able and capable former all time favourite defender and former captain of the Indomitable Lions Rigobert Bahanag SONG !!!..has decided to take up the responsibility as team manager. I was disappointed to learn that Roger Miller did not approve of his appointment. Pourquoi...
