thanks sirlomaxx ve gotten the email message

enough with the hate already our senior colleagues in NMA and JOHESU are already at longerheads lets not join in that fight abeg o.

[quote author=Yoshi-Master]Dude, I can't believe you actually gave that guy the time of day by responding to his post.

Somebody that can't see that the comment was with regards to the scientific method used by the guy, more so than it was about the conclusion, doesn't deserved to be quoted.

I'm sure that's how they prove theories in his grammar school. His teacher will say "that breeze that just blew now is because of spirits", and that nicca would be like "My teacher told me so, that's how I know".

I'm sure when he is walking around, you can literally hear his peanut sized brain bouncing about in his mostly empty head.[/quote]yeah I should be faulted for that, I only thought he had brains but he just showed me that brains are not everything because in his case brains are obviously nothing,one more slowpoke than I counted on.But hey! Without stupidity there can be no wisdom, so the world needs him afterall

kossylator: Guy enuf of dis ur trash,wat do u knw about buiz? Swit tel me more,heard u had ur Phd in English language

felipemadero: who is this fool liking this nitwit's comment?...GAYS!!!

am not gay dude but would not be condeming anyone either I just found his post hillarious and liked it and u just insulted me...smh calling you an i...diot would be an insult to all the stupid people. Dumb retard and whatever makes u dumb works pretty gud. Ur special effort at stupidity today was duely noted, you can now slip into something more comfortable like a coma

lomaxx: I was in this shoe once. Reading ahead of pre-clinicals. Now let me pause here to give an observation.

Excelling in Pre-Medical year is much about how well you observe tradition in your school and also about how much you work hard. What do I mean by tradition?

Example, If tradition has it that notes are the rate limiting step for zoology, and you kill yourself with hardwork over some zoology textbook, you are so on your own. If your seniors say note is what is needed, you have no business going outside your notes.

Pre-Meds (especially those just admitted) in your various med schools, do well to have someone in the class just above you - to feed you with updated ways of passing each course well and avoiding pitfalls.

Pre-Clinicals is much about how well you are smart to revolve your time about the volumes of Gross Anatomy, the ambiguity of Embryology , the vagueness of Histology and still have a headway in the intense volumes of mechanisms and processes in Physiology coupled with the dense pathways of biochemistry.

You have to be smart with your time. How much time you invest in a course will determine how smoothly it would go for you.

Some people end up doing so well in Anatomy or Biochemistry (because they are perceived as difficult) while their Physiology is very leaky. [b] You must strike a balance. Zeal may not help too much here. You need to be smart.

For those reading ahead of Pre-Clinicals, I recommend that you avoid Keith Moore (for now). Why? It's too voluminous and you will only end up reading too much stuff. Mostly irrelevant stuff. For your Gross, I endorse Snell's Clinical Anatomy. For histology, I endorse BRS Histology. For Embryology, I endorse BRS Embryology. You can get the BRS Books off the net.

I used Snell's, BRS Histo and BRS Embryo. I never had below a 69% in Anatomy and my Physiology and Biochemistry was perfect. I never even read so zealously.

I had people that used Keith Moore and all other popular books but came close with so much zealous work. What if I was zealous? Food for thought.

For Physiology, I endorse either of Guyton & Hall or Ganong or Fox Physiology. BRS Physiology is good. I used Guyton and BRS Physiology and stood a chance at a distinction viva. Medical school politics stood in my way. It's a long story.

For Biochemistry, I endorse Vazudevan Biochemistry. There's Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry and Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry for lovers of hyper-stuff. My combo was Vazudevan and Kaplan Biochemistry. I used Kaplan more.

Your note would be the most important thing you will need. Make sure you copy well.

Managing information in med school is very important. There are too much information you don't need circulating in standard texts. You must be wise in knowing what you need. This is where a syllabus comes in. I have a standard and comprehensive MBBS Syllabus for Pre-Clinical year gotten from a Med School somewhere in Europe. It's a standard syllabus. It's in .pdf. There's an email address in my profile. If you need it, send me a mail.

Good luck to all pre-meds and pre-clinical folks. Even to aspirants. Bless!!!

aliandro: @gregdcutie college of medicine university of lagos(cmul)/luth.........d xame question goes 2 u.

same here bro funny caus I may even know you

lomaxx: The dynamics of pre-clinicals revolves around Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology.

Anatomy is subdivided into Gross Anatomy( Upper and Lower Limb Anatomy, Thorax and Abdomen, Pelvis and Perineum, Head and Neck) Histology, Embryology and Neuroanatomy.

Physiology is subdivided into Introductory and Muscle Physiology, Blood Physiology, Cardiovascular physiology, Renal physiology, GIT physiology, Respiratory physiology, Endocrinology, Neurophysiology and Special Senses

Biochemistry : Enzymology, Carbohydrate metabolism, Protein metabolism, Fat metabolism, Nucleic acid metabolism, special topics, HIV/AIDS etc etc

That's an overview. If you have questions drop them. I'll attend to them after my 12noon exam. Bless!!!

all these my coursemates are terrifying me with theis reading zeal...trying to finish syllabus b4 we resum in january @idiaraba

FOLYKAZE: He heals amputees...where?

read the piece and find out where

This thread was created to correct certain misconceptions of some doubting thomases of our time as it pertains this issue
Answer:Some use this question in an attempt to "disprove" the existence of God. In fact, there is a popular anti-Christian website dedicated to the “Why won’t God heal amputees?” argument: http://www.whywontgodhealamputees.co m. If God is all-powerful and if Jesus promised to do anything we ask (or so the reasoning goes), then why won’t God ever heal amputees when we pray for them? Why does God heal victims of cancer and diabetes, for example, yet He never causes an amputated limb to be regenerated? The fact that an amputee stays an amputee is "proof" to some that God does not exist, that prayer is useless, that so-called healings are coincidence, and that religion is a myth.
The above argument is usually presented in a thoughtful, well-reasoned way, with a liberal sprinkling of Scripture to make it seem all the more legitimate. However, it is an argument based on a wrong view of God and a misrepresentation of Scripture. The line of reasoning employed in the "why won’t God heal amputees" argument makes at least seven false assumptions:
Assumption 1: God has never healed an amputee.Who is to say that in the history of the world, God has never caused a limb to regenerate? To say, "I have no empirical evidence that limbs can regenerate; therefore, no amputee has ever been healed in the history of the world" is akin to saying "I have no empirical evidence that rabbits live in my yard; therefore, no rabbit has ever lived on this ground in the history of the world." It’s a conclusion that simply cannot be drawn. Besides, we have the historical record of Jesus healing lepers, some of whom we may assume had lost digits or facial features. In each case, the lepers were restored whole ( Mark 1:40-42; Luke 17:12-14). Also, there is the case of the man with the shriveled hand ( Matthew 12:9-13), and the restoration of Malchus's severed ear ( Luke 22:50-51), not to mention the fact that Jesus raised the dead ( Matthew 11:5; John 11), which would undeniably be even more difficult than healing an amputee.
Assumption 2: God’s goodness and love require Him to heal everyone.Illness, suffering, and pain are the result of our living in a cursed world—cursed because of our sin ( Genesis 3:16-19; Romans 8:20-22). God’s goodness and love moved Him to provide a Savior to redeem us from the curse ( 1 John 4:9-10), but our ultimate redemption will not be realized until God has made a final end of sin in the world. Until that time, we are still subject to physical death.
If God’s love required Him to heal every disease and infirmity, then no one would ever die—because "love" would maintain everyone in perfect health. The biblical definition of love is "a sacrificial seeking what is best for the loved one." What is best for us is not always physical wholeness. Paul the apostle prayed to have his "thorn in the flesh" removed, but God said, "No," because He wanted Paul to understand he didn’t need to be physically whole to experience the sustaining grace of God. Through the experience, Paul grew in humility and in the understanding of God’s mercy and power ( 2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
The testimony of Joni Eareckson Tada provides a modern example of what God can do through physical tragedy. As a teenager, Joni suffered a diving accident that left her a quadriplegic. In her bookJoni, she relates how she visited faith healers many times and prayed desperately for the healing which never came. Finally, she accepted her condition as God’s will, and she writes, "The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that God doesn’t want everyone well. He uses our problems for His glory and our good" (p. 190).
Assumption 3: God still performs miracles today just as He did in the past.In the thousands of years of history covered by the Bible, we find just four short periods in which miracles were widely performed (the period of the Exodus, the time of the prophets Elijah and Elisha, the ministry of Jesus, and the time of the apostles). While miracles occurred throughout the Bible, it was only during these four periods that miracles were "common."
The time of the apostles ended with the writing of Revelation and the death of John. That means that now, once again, miracles are rare. Any ministry which claims to be led by a new breed of apostle or claims to possess the ability to heal is deceiving people. "Faith healers" play upon emotion and use the power of suggestion to produce unverifiable "healings." This is not to say that God does not heal people today—we believe He does—but not in the numbers or in the way that some people claim.
We turn again to the story of Joni Eareckson Tada, who at one time sought the help of faith healers. On the subject of modern-day miracles, she says, "Man’s dealing with God in our day and culture is based on His Word rather than ‘signs and wonders’" (op cit., p. 190). His grace is sufficient, and His Word is sure.
Assumption 4: God is bound to say "yes" to any prayer offered in faith.Jesus said, "I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" ( John 14:12-14). Some have tried to interpret this passage as Jesus agreeing to whatever we ask. But this is misreading Jesus’ intent. Notice, first, that Jesus is speaking to His apostles, and the promise is for them. After Jesus’ ascension, the apostles were given power to perform miracles as they spread the gospel ( Acts 5:12). Second, Jesus twice uses the phrase "in My name." This indicates the basis for the apostles’ prayers, but it also implies that whatever they prayed for should be consonant with Jesus’ will. A selfish prayer, for example, or one motivated by greed, cannot be said to be prayed in Jesus’ name.
We pray in faith, but faith means that we trust God. We trust Him to do what is best and to know what is best. When we consider all the Bible’s teaching on prayer (not just the promise given to the apostles), we learn that God may exercise His power in response to our prayer, or He may surprise us with a different course of action. In His wisdom He always does what is best ( Romans 8:28).
Assumption 5: God’s future healing (at the resurrection) cannot compensate for earthly suffering.The truth is, "our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" ( Romans 8:18). When a believer loses a limb, he has God’s promise of future wholeness, and faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" ( Hebrews 11:1). Jesus said, "It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire" ( Matthew 18:. His words confirm the relative unimportance of our physical condition in this world, as compared to our eternal state. To enter life maimed (and then to be made whole) is infinitely better than to enter hell whole (to suffer for eternity).
Assumption 6: God’s plan is subject to man’s approval.One of the contentions of the "why won’t God heal amputees" argument is that God just isn’t "fair" to amputees. Yet, Scripture is clear that God is perfectly just ( Psalm 11:7; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-6) and in His sovereignty answers to no one ( Romans 9:20-21). A believer has faith in God’s goodness, even when circumstances make it difficult and reason seems to falter.
Assumption 7: God does not exist.This is the underlying assumption on which the whole "why won’t God heal amputees" argument is based. Those who champion the "why won’t God heal amputees" argument start with the assumption that God does not exist and then proceed to buttress their idea as best they can. For them, "religion is a myth" is a foregone conclusion, presented as a logical deduction but which is, in reality, foundational to the argument.
In one sense, the question of why God doesn’t heal amputees is a trick question, comparable to "Can God make a rock too big for Him to lift?" and is designed not to seek for truth but to discredit faith. In another sense, it can be a valid question with a biblical answer. That answer, in short, would be something like this: "God can heal amputees and will heal every one of them who trusts Christ as Savior. The healing will come, not as the result of our demanding it now, but in God’s own time, possibly in this life, but definitely in heaven. Until that time, we walk by faith, trusting the God who redeems us in Christ and promises the resurrection of the body."
A personal testimony:
Our first son was born missing bones in his lower legs and in his feet and he only had two toes. Two days after his first birthday he had both feet amputated. We are now considering adopting a child from China who would require a similar surgery as he has similar issues. I feel God chose me to be a very special mother to these special children, and I had no idea until seeing the topic about why doesn't God heal amputees that people used this as a reason to doubt the existence of God. As the mother of one child with no feet and the potential mother of another child that will be missing some of his lower limbs as well, I've never seen it in that light. Rather, I have seen His calling me to be a special mother as a way to teach others of the blessings of God. He is also calling me to give these children the opportunity to be added to a Christian family that will teach them to love the Lord in their special way and to understand that we can overcome all things all things through Christ. Some might find it to be a stumbling block; we find it to be a learning experience and challenge. We also thank Him for giving someone the knowledge to perform the necessary surgeries and make the necessary prostheses that allow my son, and hopefully our next son, to be able to walk, run, jump, and live to glorify God in all things. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” ( Romans 8:28)

homesteady: This page should be on frontpage now!! The show has started proper!

we'll just have to inform those mods

3lovesu: Different ideologies, but one aim... POWER....TELL ME HOW THEY CAN EVER STICK TOGETHER.

Seriously if they succeed, na End Time Things...8-)

and in the end like #BBA votes that could have made some party outsed become shared leaving the same "hated party" ruling but in this case being elected

Umm am confused much, how can CPC in anambra move out of the merger when the national leadership of the party says otherwise. For Apga we know its just okorocha pulling out of the party and joining the merger that one we know buh this leaves me confused AGAIN for Nigeria
