common is common..but..

since i was in first yr, i've been hearing my lecturers saying "common is common"...
usually if we asked for explanations of complicated unknown 'theories'...
today though, in Andrology...Dr Hamed Abdullah stress on the rare ones (he still explained about the common ones)

and also, he gave a quote at the beginning of his lecture which reminds me of a medical research seminar i've gone through during the summer...in one of the critical thinking sessions, we were given pictures and were asked to give 10 description in 1 minute...the first picture was easy, a picture of which when we look at one angle is a pretty young woman but at another angle is an old woman (you can picture the women right?)...the second picture showed that if we look in details were Italian people performing on stage with dancers but from a wide scope was a mother smacking her child (unfortunately i can't find this picture)...and the third picture...


i'd like to ask you to describe it...
in one glimpse, what do you think you've just seen?

among 90 of us, most description was about a couple, a picture engraved on a jar...most of 'em i bet r in your minds...*this picture reminds me of christina aguilera song...am a genie in a bottle~~~ lalala...hee
but, one candidate said...i see dolphins!!! (mainly because he's been tricked by this picture before..hehe)
so...can you tell me...how many dolphins are there?

the Dr. who presented this critical thinking session said something like this..
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
*i copied the words from this blog (i lost my notebook from that seminar...mayb accidently left it in malaysia..huu)

so...there are...

9 dolphins...
*i apologize if this picture is offensive in anyway...

Dr Hamed Abdullah's quote at the beginning of his session was :-
"The eyes cannot see what the brain does not know"
which reminds me of this picture...

*as am progressing in maturity..hehe..ok, serious...this picture ironically got me thinkin...that am gonna face a tougher challenge in raising my future generations than my parents had...not jz me...we all will...some of us already are...
(Ya Allah...do protect Hani, Iman, Ulfah, Umar, Ulya and other muslim children...no discrimination intended, they jz currently felt more closer at the moment...hehe)


plus, this quote is also the reason Dr Hamed Abdullah stressed on the rare diseases...because the incidence are rare we tend to hesitate to give the diagnosis, or we are not familiar with them...but they should at least be at the back of our minds...
the patient who came knocking at your door may b the less than 1% case...but he's the one you are treating now...:)
