A few months ago, I came across Myanmar passport department's webpages which were revealing the recent list of Myanmar passport applicants ( including their fathers' names and thier national ID numbers) . Again, here are certificates and photos of Burmese on flickr. I must say it is strange for me.

Cutty Sark Fire
Before fire
The famous Tea Clipper “The Cutty Sark” five hours after the fire that almost destroyed her on 21-05-07. Thanks for the picture to olebrat.
You can see my previous post. 9 days ago we visted Greenwish where Cutty Sark was there under renovation. Now it's gone.
She served in the water from 1869 to 1954 by transporting goods especially tea from China to London. After that Cutty Sark keeps serving as one of the popular torrist attractions, with 7-8 million visitors a year in Greenwish.
Many believe that it was an arson fire and police treated as "suspecious".
Fire is not uncommon in England even though lots of measures have been done.Windsor Castle fire also ripped through the Queen's official residence in 1992.

Bloody IT
Doctor recruitment website for the new system of training for junior docs to become consultants www.mtas.nhs.uk has been offline due to a big security breach after a series of errors of shortlisting the applicants.
The security breach came just a day after the department was forced to block a loophole in the site which allowed the private details of applicants to be read by anyone typing "info" after the site address.
Reuters news
I am just wondering who the responsible person is. These days, security should be top priority. I suspect those IT men don't care about our confidential data. Withot having enuogh knowledge , I have no idea why they took the contract to run doctor recruitment web service. They are really bloody IT. I think prosecution would be only option in this civilized era.

An injection appeal in Britain
During the last week, our team had to see outlier patients. Basically I review patients first and I discussed with my consultant if needed. You may don’t know what outlier patient is. For example, if a patient with nerve or brain problem is placed in chest ward for some reason, he or she is the outlier patient of neurology and the neurologist has to go and see that patient as his outlier.
In this hospital, outlier patients are a little bit different. Those who are not medically serious and ready to go home, but still need to be sorted out their social and other issues, are put under the care of outlier team.
Well, on Last Wednesday, 36 year-old-chap who is a known multiple sclerosis came in with some minor recurrent attack. Plan was to give 5 day course of intravenous injection. He is apparently well and no reason to stay in hospital for once a day injection. So I have to organize to get intravenous injection as an out-patient.
I never thought that it was a difficult job. But in the real situation……
In fact, his wife is a sister working in our hospital. But British rules and regulations do not allow doctors and nurses to give medical care to the close relatives and next of kin.
I phoned to his GP who declined to do so. They did only intra-muscular injection in surgery, not intravenous injection.
So I tried the district nurse who normally does home visit for dressing and medication and so on. The same answer was given.
And then I contacted to the Intermediate Care Team whose function is to look after recently hospital discharged patient if needed. They said they don’t have enough capacity to do so.
There is a day treatment centre in our hospital. They said they open only 3 days a week. So not possible for 5 consecutive day injection.
A&E department is out of question. They only deal with emergency patients.
I tried MAU, Medical Assessment Unit. They declined again as they have got a great deal of workload with acute patients all the time. ( I know that fact very well)
Finally CDU in-charge sister agreed to give intravenous injection to my pity patient in her department. CDU is Clinical Decision Unit who takes GP referral. At that department, hospital doctors see patients referred by GP and deicide to admit them or not.
On that evening time, patient went home after waiting for an intravenous injection agreement for nearly the whole day.
