The ten rules of Aesthtic Surgery ( Plastic Surgery,sub speciality)

Ten Rules
During the past 20 years, the author(Werner L. Mang) has performed more than 30,000
surgical procedures with the aim of improving patients’ appearance.
During this time, he has developed a professional philosophy which can
be summed up in ten rules:
1. Your conduct toward your colleagues should be characterized by
fairness. Cooperation not confrontation is the most important
thing.
2. Health takes precedence over beauty. Aesthetic surgeons, like all
other physicians, are bound by the Hippocratic Oath.
3. Genuine beauty cannot be purchased.
4. Healthy nutrition, sports, and a positive lifestyle often do more for
a person’s look than aesthetic surgery.
5. A patient should never incur debts for aesthetic surgery.
6. Patients should be given comprehensive information about the
costs and risks of the operation. Cooperation with a trained cosmetician
is a vital part of preoperative and postoperative treatment.
7. There are limits to what can be achieved by aesthetic surgery. Even
the best aesthetic surgeon has dissatisfied patients.
8. Beware of poorly trained physicians, emotionally disturbed
patients, and cranks.
9. Neither the doctor nor the patient stands to profit from longdrawn-
out litigation; the only “winners” are the lawyers.
10. A patient should never make a rash decision to undergo aesthetic
surgery. If he or she has any doubts at all, it is best to obtain a
second opinion from another surgeon before going ahead with the
surgery.
The decisive factors for the success of aesthetic surgery are the conscientious
instruction of patients, state-of-the-art surgical methods, and
professional follow-up care.

Keeping strict accounts Mohandas Karamchand gandhi

"Let no one imagine that my experiments in dancing and the like
marked a stage of indulgence in my life. The reader will have
noticed that even then I had my wits about me. That period of
infatuation was not unrelieved by a certain amount of selfintrospecti
on on my part. I kept account of every farthing I
spent, and my expenses were carefully calculated. Every little
item such as omnibus fares or postage or a couple of coppers
spent on newspapers, would be entered, and the balance struck
every evening before going to bed. That habit has stayed with
me ever since, and I know that as a res ult, though I have had to
handle public funds amounting to lakhs, I have succeeded in
exercising strict economy in their disbursement, and instead of
outstanding debts have had invariably a surplus balance in
respect of all the movements I have led. Let every youth take a
leaf out of my book and make it a point to account for
everything that comes into and goes out of his pocket, and like
me he is sure to be a gainer in the end .
Mohandas Karamchand gandhi

I  have known any number of so called Philanthropic and  Charitable organizations, which espouse Gandhian ideals but do not bother to follow what he said about keeping strict accounts.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's observations about good handwriting

 Among us 4 bothers I have the worst handwriting .
My sons' handwriting is even worse than mine,but my daughter's handwriting is better than mine.
Just because the computer and smartphone are available should be no excuse for not learning good  handwriting.
But I see that  bad handwriting is  not due to the advent of these gadgets but due to a choice made by  a person  and  how strictly  the  parents and  teachers enforce the discipline.
\I am still paying the penalty of another neglect, I do not know
whence I got the notion that good handwriting was not a
necessary part of education, but I retained it until I went to
England. When later, especially in South Africa, I saw the
beautiful handwriting of lawyers and young men born and
educated in South Africa, I was ashamed of myself and
repented of my neglect. I saw that bad handwriting should be
regarded as a sign of an imperfect education. I tried later to
improve mine, but it was too late. I could never repair the
neglect of my youth. Let every young man and woman be
warned by my example, and understand that good handwriting
is a necessary part of education. I am now of opinion that
children should first be taught the art of drawing before
learning how to write. Let the chi Id learn his letters by
observation as he does different objects, such as flowers, birds,
etc., and let him learn handwriting only after he has learnt to draw
objects. He will then write a beautifully formed hand.

Marriage among Hindus is no simple matter "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi


When I was young  I was not really impressed by  M.K.Gandhi.
But As I grow older  and   read  more of his original writing  i  am  amzed at  his  rational  and  revolutionary thinking.



Marriage among Hindus is no simple matter. The parents of the
bride and the bridegroom often bring themselves to ruin over it.
They waste their substance, they waste their time. Months are
taken lip over the preparations in making clothes and ornaments
and in preparing budgets for dinners. Each tries to outdo the
other in the number and variety of courses to be prepared.
Women, whether they have a voice or no, sing themselves
hoarse, even get ill, and disturb the peace of their neighbors.
these in their turn quietly put up with all the turmoil and bustle
all the dirt and filth, representing the remains of the feasts,
because they know that a time will come when they also will be
behaving in the same manner.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
