GEEK (\ˈgēk\):
"One who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc." - Merriam-Webster
"You say that like it's a bad thing." - Summer Brooks (sliceofscifi.com)
I'm a geek... a geek who eventually became a Urologist. In recent years, Urology as a field, started to develop some new toys which appealed to geeks. These include a whole slew of lasers for urinary stones and prostate enlargement (only the "eye guys" and the "skin guys" use lasers more than we do), laparoscopic urology, robotic-assisted surgery, HIFU, etc. In addition, the practice of Medicine is quickly evolving such that the usual way we do things are changing to reflect advances in information technology, mobile devices in particular.
I remember when I was young, my parents were nagging me why I spent so much time on computers... turns out, all of it would be a great advantage in the future!
One important section of this site will be for my San Beda Medical Students. I will be attempting to use the site as a learning tool with multi-media, syllabi, and some other things which I will keep to myself for now.
Thus, this blog will reflect my different interests which can be divided into several broad categories: Urology, Cinema, Technology, Medical Pedagogy and Gastronomy.
Alea iacta est!
