An Interesting Fact and The Formula of Success

Two interesting things i learned today. Let me share them with you. One is an interesting fact about and enzyme which bugs my head when i read its name. And the other one is which bugs everyones brain, Success! Yes i read the formula of success.

Firstly about Carbonic Anhydrase. When i read this name some confused neurones in my brain start firing. Let that be, its a matter of time before i orient them.
As you might know it catalyses a reversible reaction causing dehydration of bicarbonate into water and CO2. This way of reaction is RAPID and the reverse goes slow. I came across a practical example.
Soda when it is left in bottle it looses gas slowly. But when u hold it in mouth, its starts forming gas rapidly. Courtesy the carbonic anhydrase in saliva.
My search for CA in nephron made me land across this interesting fact.

Now the formula of success i read in one Napoleon Hill Foundation book, Three Feet From Gold

(T+P) x A x A = Success

T- Talent
P- Passion
A- Association with Right People
A- Action

Good Luck Everybody..

Unknowingly Knowing

Venue: Medicine OPD

An intern was sitting across the table with two lady Associate Professors of Medicine. Both are highly experienced and are respected by the intern.

A medicine Resident enters. He is excited. “Ma’am we have a case of syphillis confirmed.” (joy is on his face, as not always we witness syphillis)

“Ok” say the doctors

Intern watches quietly.

Resident speaks “Whats the dose of Penicillin we use?” (expectantly awaits, excitement still showing on face)

One doctor looks at other, they look at each other. And then they use their weapon. Authority! “Go look in Washington’s Manual”

Resident’s excitement vanishes and leaves the OPD. (duno what he did beyond)

Intern watches quietly. He learnt a lesson. His respect for the doctors across the table some how grew even more. Because they taught him something which goes beyond books.

Today that intern (then) is reading penicillins in pharmacology and will always remember the 2.4 Million Units of penicillin and the lesson worth more than 2.4 Million.
