How does it feel to be a table tennis player?
It feels amazing . I've been playing tt for almost 6 years now and don't plan on leaving it anytime soon .I love the mental battle that goes on while playing the match and the different tactics that can be tried out .I love the trajectory the ball takes when I'm able to do a really spinny serve or shot.I love the way the ball takes unexpected turns in what I like to call boomerang shots .I love how sometimes while rallying I enter a trance like state where something else is going on in my mind but somehow the ball still keeps going back on the table.I love it when I'm able to retrieve a net ball to the disbelief of my opponent.I love it when I'm able to hit an unexpected shot out of nowhere . There are days when I don't ”feel” the ball , and get frustrated , but those are just some days I have to get past .Hope this helped :)
What does it feel like to lose a patient on the operating table?
The natural sense of sadness and defeat that the doctor feels when a patient dies after a complicated surgery has changed. It has now been overshadowed by the worry of threat perception, thought of self defense and planning to avoiding possible legal consequences.A natural death, however unexpected, is accepted, quite often, as natural. In contrast, the moment an intervention is done, be it an angioplasty or a surgery, the picture flips. The entire blame goes to the operator / surgeon.Outside the Operating Room -Patients Relatives‘But he came walking to the hospital’‘You said that the operation will make him alright and we believed you’‘you could have referred him to a better hospital’‘Do you understand that I spent all my life’s savings for this surgery to get him back’‘it is so easy for you to say - ‘I am sorry’’It is the same relatives who told me ‘doctor please do something, please try your best’; and that’s what I did.But you didn’t keep your word.Next day -Hospital Admin NoteDear doctor,The bystanders have gone without paying half the bill. This is the third time this is happening for your case. The hospital takes it very seriously and…….Yours Sincerely.When I joined the hospital, I was told that their philosophy was ‘Good health at affordable cost’.They didn’t keep their word either.You still want me to operate on that high risk case?PS - By the way, as per Indian law, a case of death in Operation Theater (OT) is automatically IPC. So today no hospital in India, declares death in the OT but shift the patient to the ICCU / recovery room, on a life support, and then declare; otherwise you will see the theater shut down, cops entering the sterile theater with clipboards and record statements before the doctor and staff are cleared of criminal charges.
Why does my dog all of a sudden like to go under the coffee table and the bed?
My dog is 2 years old, and a few months ago, he just started spending a lot of time under our coffee table and under the bed. Nothing traumatic happened to him, and his personality hasn't changed or anything. He'll just go under the table and go to sleep instead of sitting up on the couch with us. Today, I was going to brush his teeth, and as soon as he saw the toothbrush, he ran under the table! I was so mad!!! I had to lift the table up and everything to get him out of there. Why does he do that? and why now after he is 2 years old?
How do wrestlers fake going through tables?
Gravity, you can't fake it. The tables aren't usually solid anyways sometimes they are so flimsy they can break just by placing a wrestler on one. EDIT: Some people are just ignorant. Sort of like when people all wrestling "men in tights" and gay but then phrase UFC. (When they also wear tight shorts.)
Why do dogs go under the table/chairs???
I think he may be exploring or looking for a snack (some crumbs that have fallen on the floor). I think shih tzus are a little curious... I've found ours under a chair in the living room that I had no idea would be tall enough for her to get under. She's also gotten herself in other small spaces around the house just being nosey!
Is it normal for cats to sleep under tables?
Cats sleep anywhere comfortable. My cat likes to sleep in the bathroom sink and on top of the computer desk.
What does it feel like to be a surgeon and have a patient die on your operating table? Is there anything one learns in med school that helps the coping process?
It depends on the situation, but in answering this question I am assuming that the patient was not on the operating table for last ditch, hail Mary pass kind of operation. That is, they were not expected to die. This happens to me about 1 to 2 times per year, despite meticulous pre op planning, seemingly uncomplicated surgery can go pear shaped. The first thing that happens is you begin to feel a little anxious, unnerved that something is not quite right - the operation is not moving the way it should be. This is followed by fear, fear that the patient might actually not make it off the table, fear at how their family will react, fear at what your colleagues will say to you, or worse, what they will say about you to others. At this point a little panic begins to set in, as you mentally run through possible solutions to whatever it is that is the problem. Next comes the rearguard action, where you take increasingly more desperate measures to try and save the patient. Then, at the end, there is almost a feeling of acceptance and calm, a little like when you finally accept that you are not going to make that appointment and rushing panicked into traffic is not the answer. Finally, after it is all over and you have spoken to the family, the coroner and often debriefed the nursing staff comes the anxiety, different this time to the beginning. What could I have been done differently or better? Did I leave something out, did I make mistake, should I have operated at all?This last anxiety can be brief, running through the case with a colleague may be enough to realise that it wasn't you, that there were unknown forces at work. More often it lingers, burns itself into your subconscious to the point where it permanently affects the way you practice. This can be a good thing, you need to learn from your mistakes, but it can also be destructive, turning good surgeons to nervous, conservative practitioners. Worse, it can destroy careers and lives. It is never easy. It never 'just is'.
