DRD 54: Mastering Prompt Engineering in Healthcare AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Prompt engineering is not merely about generating text; it is about cognitive extension. It allows a physician to scale their ability to communicate, educate, and analyze data. The barrier to entry is low, but the ceiling for mastery is high.
Those who invest in learning the syntax of this new intelligence will find themselves with a powerful partner in practice. Those who ignore it may find themselves increasingly burdened by the administrative weight that their AI-litera

TME 77: What To Do Before You Need a Transfusion: The Truth Nobody Tells You About Blood Loss
Crystalloids = speed
Colloids = staying power
Blood = survival
You cannot hydrate your way out of anaemia.
You cannot “volume expand” your way out of coagulopathy.
You need blood when the body needs oxygen, clotting, and long-term support.

Quote 52: “I never lose. I either win or learn.” The Mindset Nelson Mandela Used to Survive Prison and Change the World
Mandela’s mindset teaches one powerful idea:
Your real victory is your ability to learn—nothing else.
Once you understand this:
Failure stops scaring you
Risks stop intimidating you
Growth becomes natural
Purpose becomes clearer
Life becomes a series of experiments, not battles
You become unstoppable.
Because no one can defeat a person who refuses to lose

TME 76: Understanding the Impact of Cancer on the Body
Cancer is not just a disease.
It is exhaustion—in the body, in the family, in the healthcare system, and silently, in the blood bank that supports every treatment step.
People often focus only on chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or immunotherapy. But behind the scenes, blood transfusion holds up the entire treatment.

Quote 51: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” — Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee wasn’t speaking about punches.
He was speaking about identity.
About conviction.
About the rare strength required to not be shaken by speed, shortcuts, or distractions.
In a world obsessed with doing a thousand things once,
be the person who does one thing a thousand times.
That is how you stand out.
That is how you make real impact.
That is how you build a legacy.

DRD 52: You Speak Even When You’re Silent: The Science of Non-Verbal Communication That Shapes Your Destiny
If you’ve ever been overlooked despite knowing more — it’s likely your non-verbal presence that needs upgrading, not your intelligence.
Presence isn’t about dominating a room; it’s about owning your energy within it.
Walk with intent.
Speak slower.
Hold eye contact for one heartbeat longer.
Smile with authenticity, not performance.
These micro-behaviors compound into macro-perception — people start seeing you differently because you see yourself differently.

TME 75: “SDP vs RDP: The Truth No One Told You About Apheresis Platelet Donation”
Apheresis = Specialized donation where only platelets/plasma are collected.
RDP = Pooled platelets from multiple donors.
SDP = Platelets from one donor via apheresis.
SDP is safer and cleaner, but costs more.
RDP is quicker and cheaper, but carries higher exposure risk.
Both save lives — the right choice depends on the patient’s condition, not myths.

Quote 50: "The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions."
Growth doesn’t happen in comfort.
Every time your mind feels stretched beyond its limit — you’re evolving.
You’re becoming someone new.
Someone who thinks bigger, sees wider, and feels deeper.
That’s not instability. That’s expansion.
So, the next time an idea scares you — lean in.
Because your mind, once stretched, will never shrink again.

DRD 50: “Most People Stop Thinking Too Soon: The 3 Levels of Thinking That Separate the Wise from the Rest.”
We live in a world drowning in noise and speed.
But the quiet mind — the one that thinks in layers — wins every time.
Because while others chase what’s urgent, thinkers build what’s important.
If this post made you pause, share it with a friend who always reacts fast but regrets later.
Let’s make deep thinking a trend again.

DRD 48: Emotional Intelligence: The Skill That Outranks IQ (and Why You Need It Now)
We spend years learning math, language, and science.
But no one teaches us how to manage emotions — our own or others’.
That’s why brilliant people still struggle with anger, burnout, or fragile relationships.

TME 74: The Truth About the “Universal Donor”: What is Universal Donor? Why O-Negative Blood Isn’t Always Universal
Most people think:
👉 “O negative blood can be given to anyone.”
Sounds simple. Feels heroic.
But here’s the truth — it’s not that simple.
I’ve seen it firsthand in the blood centre.
We call O negative the “universal donor” blood because it lacks A, B, and Rh antigens — the main flags our immune system looks for.
So when a patient’s blood group is unknown, especially in emergencies, we grab O negative. It saves lives.

Quote: 49 "We learn nothing from life except through the prism of our assumptions." — André Gide
Every one of us is walking around with invisible glasses that color our reality.
Most never take them off.
But those who do — they start to see.
That’s where self-growth begins.
That’s where leadership becomes wisdom.
That’s where life truly happens.

DRD 51: The Lie We’ve All Been Told About Hard Work: Embracing Microbreaks for Success
The most dangerous myth of productivity is that rest is a reward for hard work.
It’s not.
Rest is what makes hard work possible.
When you schedule microbreaks, you’re not being lazy — you’re being strategic.
You’re acknowledging that your brain is biological, not mechanical.
And that simple shift can be the difference between a career that burns bright — and one that burns out.

Quote 48: What Vs Why : “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”— Friedrich Nietzsche
We live in a world obsessed with how-tos — how to get rich, how to be productive, how to stay happy.
But before the how, there’s always the why.
Nietzsche understood it.
Frankl lived it.
Sinek explained it.
And maybe now, it’s your turn to ask yourself:

TME 76: “Why Some People Refuse Blood Even When It Can Save Their Life — The Shocking Truth Behind It”
The most well-known group is the Jehovah’s Witnesses, who strictly avoid transfusions of whole blood and its primary components — red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. Their belief comes from biblical passages such as Acts 15:28-29, which they interpret as a command from God to “abstain from blood.”

Quote 47: Nothing Gets Easier — You Just Get Better - Life
Nothing gets easier. You just get better.
And that’s beautiful — because it means you are never stuck. You are always evolving.
When life feels impossible, don’t wish for ease. Wish for wisdom. Wish for strength. Wish for the version of you that can handle anything.
That version already exists inside you.

DRD 44: If You Think You Don’t Have Time, Read This Before Another Week Disappears
Every minute you spend reading this, scrolling social media, or checking emails is an invisible trade. You’re exchanging life for something — a memory, a task, a dopamine hit.
Time management isn’t just about productivity. It’s about deciding what’s worth trading your life for.

Quote 46: “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the life of others.” – Pericles
Life is fragile. Life is short. Life is now.
In the grand timeline of Earth, we are here for a blink. But in that blink, you can love, you can create, you can lift others.
Because at the end, nobody remembers the size of your bank account or the square footage of your house. They remember how you made them feel. They remember if you cared.
And when you’re gone, your name will not be carved in stone—it will be written in hearts.

The education system may still be outdated, but you don’t have to be. Recognize when you need a teacher, when you need a mentor, and when you need a coach. Get this right, and you’ll accelerate growth in ways classrooms never prepared you for.

TME 74: Blood Letting: From Barber Shops to Modern Hospitals
Blood letting is one of the oldest medical practices known to humankind. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all used it. For thousands of years, people believed that most diseases were caused by “bad blood” or an imbalance of the body’s four humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile). Which, of course was wrong.
