todays photos from al-adan hospital/museum

ilyom we were in the operating rooms in al-adan as part of our final year surgical rotation..
so i snapped a few photos for you guys.





this first pic is while we were sitting in the doctors room... it looks nice and normal... but i cant help but think why in the world anyone would put a "poison" cabinet (locked, of course) in the operating theater... maybe the russians placed it there..















now this picture, i just had to take.. i was walking around aimlessly bayn il ghuraf when i saw this kid. it was strange becuase we never see kids in the OT.. usually its only middle aged indian guys with yellow feet. bes maskeen he started crying and calling for his mom, we we tried enna inwansa.. yibnalla surgical gloves and we made balloons and cow udders out of them bes maku fayda :(















ba3dain he got really cold so we wrapped like a sausage... hehehe.

the smallest projector in the world!

"The famous developer of light-scanning technologies

for display and imaging products, Microvision is planning to unveil at CES an advanced prototype of a handheld plug-and-play projector intended for mobile devices and applications, named as SHOW. It’s the stand-alone pico projector which powered by the company’s proprietary ultra-miniature PicoP display engine, allowing the users to project a wide screen, WVGA resolution (848 X 480 pixels), DVD quality image, ranging from 12 inches (30cm) to 100 inches (2.5m).

In addition, Microvision also claims that the SHOW can support up to 2.5 hour of battery life on a single charge, which sufficient to watch a full-length movie.

“Consumers want better display solutions that will enrich their experience in watching TV, videos and movies, in playing games, and in browsing the web from their cell phones and other mobile devices,” said Alexander Tokman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Microvision. "

things I will use the projector for:

1. projecting videos from my iphone while lying in bed
2. projecting videos from my iphone on my desk while studying for my surgical final exam
3. projecting videos from my iphone on the bathroom tiles while taking a dump
4. projecting videos from my iphone on the dashboard while waiting in 6reej fhaheel traffic (morning and afternoon)
5. projecting videos from my iphone on the ground during hospital rounds/lectures
6. projecting videos from my iphone while getting a lecture about projecting videos from my iphone

the options are unlimited... what else do u guys suggest i do with it?

According to the company, the commercial version of the new show handheld projector is expected to be available by the end of 2008 and will only cost 400 US dollars, which would amount to something like 3 or 4 KD at the current exchange rate i think :/
