Am I too lost, to be saved
Hello Again
Sorry for the long missing, but there was many problem through life & 1st of it is as usual was the electricity, it was very great that it came 1 hr the cut off for 10 hrs, & thanks God it comes for 1hr !!!!!!!
Now I have my final exams of this semister & I did well in it:
1-In pharmacology I had a degree of 30.6/40 in the mid term exam & I did well, but it could be better if there was electricity :)) but I hope I will pass bcz this subject is very difficult & there were many disasters occured to the student in the last years in our college due to this subject.
2-In Bacteriology I had a degree of 31.3 /4o in the Mid term exam but in the final the questions were too long (10 papers) so i thought it is questions for two students when the doctor gave it to me :)) & in the practical exam I could solve nothing cz I could remember nothing!!!!
3-In Immunology I had a degree of 29.8/40 in the mid term exam & the final include 14lecture but the question longer than Bacteriology even they belong to the same department(Microbiology).
In that day I couldn't to reach the college by car cz bcz the road was closed due to 2 missels targeted by those stray doges fall beside the Hospital of the college, so I left my car in the street & went on my legs to college for about 1km bcz if I didn't , I would lose my exam.
I finished the exam in 3 hrs which is the time limited & I read a little of the practical subjects but I did well even that I didn't study the practical well.
4-the next exam will be Pathology & on monday 16/1/2005, I had a degree in mid of 33.15/40 & then I will have the last Exam on Wednesday 18/1/2005 which is Medicine in which i had 28.3/40 degree.
I wanna tell a story, On Monday 4/1/2005 when I was studying Pharmacology, there were 4 hummers vehicles stopped infront of our house, when I went out to see what is happening , An American soldier came to me & ask me if I can talk english so i answered him yes, then he asked me if he could take an orange from our garden & i tolled hime sure & I openned the gate to him & he came inside the garden & take only one but his friend who was on the Hummer felt misry as he was looking at him so I told him to take extra one for his friend & he did.They were happy & asked if we eat these things & I answered him yes, bcz in Iraq the Gardens don't contains only flowers & small plants but we have oranges & other citrous fruit & also we have dates which we have three in our garden!!!
I like a scene of an American Soldier helping a small iraqi student to cross the road as she was going to the school & I was touched & impressed at the same time.
There were many things happened during this period but this what my time let to write but i will write every thing to u as soon as i finished my examination...
Lastly I wish u to pray for me to succeed & pass my examination & I wish u Happy New Year which will be the year of peace in Iraq ( I will pray for that).

Dear Dr. Thank you for sharing your fruit with the soldiers. I am sure they do not get too much fresh fruit but have canned because it is easier to transport. The soldiers enjoy the children and giving them things that will elicit a smile. Children have not learned to shade their reactions and pure joy shows on their faces. I was a professional nurse before I retired and I can still recall my microbiology and chemistry exams. I had full time comfort and electricity so I can imagine the challenges you face just to study. My best wishes for good grades but even more importantly for knowledge that is not measured. You seem to have the heart to make a good doctor.
Did you by chance hear of the little girl who was given a toy one day. The next day a military convoy came upon her sitting in the middle of the road clutching her toy. The soldiers recognized her, she would not move so they stopped the convoy and a soldier walked up to her and she shyly pointed out an IED that could have killed some or many soldiers in the convoy. A small heroine.
May Iraq become a peaceful country that allows it's children to grow up healthy and without the hate taught in some countries.
Dr. Saif - I am so glad to see that you are posting again. It is little wonder you are able to think at all, let alone do so well on your exams. I will pray for your safety, your success in your final examinations, and for peace in Iraq.
It is wonderful that orange and date trees grow in Iraq; both are a favourite of mine.
My advice to you during your exams is to relax, because stress will cause you to "blank out", as in forget everything; to remember things you do not understand; and to write as fast as you can. God Bless you and your family. Joanne
Hey,Future Dr. Saif,keep the good work and I wish you to be safe.
Dr. Humanity thank you for letting us know how you are. Good luck on your future exams. I admire your determination in the difficult situation that you are facing. Hang in there and I pray for peace in your country in the coming year as well. God Bless.
Just discovered you were back blogging. Best of luck with the rest of your exams. Good to hear you are still at it and still a compassionate physician at heart. I guess times are tough for you, but I think there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the saying going. 15 more days!!
Dr. Humanity,
Good luck with your exams. Much success
in your grades. More electricity we hope.
Nice to hear that you can grow oranges and other
tropical fruit. Up here, we're growing
icicles.
Just found your site and was happy to see it. I have an iraqi pen pal and have so enjoyed my many emails with her. She has relayed to me the situation there for which I am very sorry they have come to this. If you have a chance and electrcity stop by my blog at
http://peopleforchange.blogspot.com/. I am talking about the Iraq situation there and would welcome your comments.
Good luck to you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I have email address there so contact me if you like, I would like that.
Good luck both in exams and the election.
To the future Dr. Saif...you did pretty good on you exams. You will do better. In America we have a story that we tell children, but we adults remember it well. It's the story of the little train that "could".
He was trying to go up the mountain, but was having a hard time. He was pulling a heavy load and it needed to get to the other side of the mountain in a specific time in order for his cargo to make it. His cargo was the circus, including people, animals and tents. He knew the children on the otherside were looking forward to seeing the circus because it always made them happy and feel better.
As he struggled up the mountain, he began chanting in time with his chugging motors: I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
As he got ever closer to the top and the job got tough, he began chanting: I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.
Of course, he made it to the top and started down the other side, chanting: I knew I could, I knew I could.
And he made it to his destination on time and the children were happy. The circus cheered him and told him he was the little train that could.
You're no little train, but I'm pretty sure that you can make it. You've come so far. Remember that. You have come so far in adverse circumstances, this last little leg of the journey is just that, a last little leg of the journey before you reach the otherside.
I know you will do well on your exams. Be safe, study and believe in yourself. We believe in you.
Hello Dr. Humanity,
Good luck on all your exams. Iraq needs many doctors!
