The heart beats in silence, but when it speaks, listen with wisdom

I m but a Heart Weaver !!

I listen to the echoes woven in flesh,
a rhythm whispered between breath and hush.
Some beats tremble, some beats roar,
each a doorway, each a shore.
I trace the currents, mend the tide,
a silent guide where lifelines hide.
Lightning in veins, threads in flow,
stitching the pulse where time won’t go.
Heart is but a borrowed flame,
a spark that hums another’s name.
I weave, I tune, I set beats free,
but fate unravels beyond my reach.
I am no master of time’s great loom,
no hand can halt the coming gloom.
I walk the edge where heartbeats wane,
a keeper of echoes, lost in the rain.

The Heart's Metaphysical Beat…

As I listen to the heartbeat, a rhythm so divine,
I ponder the mysteries of the heart, where love and life entwine.
I swear to tend the flame of cardiac health, a vital, pulsing thing,
A promise of wellness, in the grand symphony of being.

In the silence of the exam room, I search for the hidden beat,
Of the human heart, a mystery that echoes through eternity's repeat.
I examine the whispers of the ECG, the echoes of the heart's deep core,
A language that speaks directly to the soul, where love and life are stored.

I am but a guardian, a keeper of the heart's sacred flame,
A cardiologist, grappling with the enigmas of the heart's deepest pain.
I'll wield the tools of science, and the compassion of the soul,
To mend the fractures of the heart, and the fissures that make it whole.

In this fleeting, precious life, I pledge to walk beside,
To guide, to comfort, and to heal, with every step, with every stride.
For in the end, it is not the years that we live, but the life that we live,
That gives our existence meaning, and our heart's beat, its deepest significance.

With every heartbeat, I am reminded of the sacred trust,
Between doctor and patient, a bond that's forged in the heart's deepest rust.
I'll honor that trust, with every fiber of my being,
And tend the flame of cardiac health, with compassion, wisdom, and heart.

Since the times immemorial, the heart, an impassioned organ, has been viewed as the home of love and the seat of emotions. And that’s not surprising for most of us. Anyone who has ever been in love knows that the heart beats faster when one glimpses someone who sparks his romantic interest.

My tribute to corticosteroids, the miracle molecules !!!
World War II: The Dawn of Corticosteroid Era - Kashmir Times

“This discovery of cortisone by Philip Hench and Edward Kendall along with the Polish chemist Tadeus Riechstein, received the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1950. At the same time, chemists at drug companies have manipulated cortisone like a Tinker Toy, adding, deleting or substituting ...

Most of the time you don’t hear it, but if your heartbeat were to suddenly stop, you’d stop too. You live from one beat to the next. In between, death resides. If after one heartbeat there isn’t another, the clock of life stands still. It might happen while we’re sleeping or walking. No one ...
