Can you see pain?

Watching Chicago Hope at NTV7 yesterday brought back memories for me

The show takes place at Chicago Hope hospital in Chicago, Illinois, and focuses on the lives of several doctors working there, their trials and tribulation along the same lines why I love Boston Public.

Jeffrey Geiger, played exquisitely by Mandy Patinkin, was the heart and soul of the show. He added depth and realism to a melo-drama. This show added something deeper than excitement it added warmth to the over worked doctors. Allowing us to sympathize with the hardship they go through everyday, not just in their work lives, but with their personal ones as well.

It explores the intricacies of the human spirit behind the face, what’s in here and we then see how ordinary they all are just like you and me.

This show is interesting, because I've learned so many different kinds of hospital terms that I probably wouldn't otherwise know. This show combines the drama of saving lives with some essential humor

Yesterday Episode dealt with Tourette's Syndrome - A doctor with Tourette's Syndrome is brought to Chicago Hope to operate on an infant with a severe heart defect.

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics -- involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way.

That’s was the devil for this doctor but when he is in the OT the TS is disappear and the knife is steady...Alan said it best the human brain is so complex and the part of the brain which produces creative genius also produced the biggest nightmares. Throughout history the most genius people were the most eccentric the most misunderstood , with that gift come a pain, a pain only the eyes can see

Can you see?

Chigago Hope is a classic - it showed sides of human emotions that you dun normally see in shows these days...where its all about jumping into bed. It went head on with ER and with George Clooney pulling up the rating...Chicago Hope was less know. There has not been an episode of CH that has not touched my heart.
The brillance of Mandy Patinkin - in his acting- how he shows his love&dedication for his wife despite her being in a sanatarium....its an experience to watch this man in CH. hear him sing as he plays the piano and u will hear his pain playing the charater that is related to his true life.
One needs to have love sincerety and greatest care for a person to see the pain in their eyes...thats why its called window to our soul.

1 sanity=peace within ourself
peace comes with love - love your oneself and for evrything around us.

2 the longest journey in life connects the heart, mind & soul

3 u can listen to urself - sit still - quite - close ur eyes let all images run thru like projector - takes time for the images to run out - those are clutters in the mind playing out-purging itself -LISTEN listen hard you will hear.

4 isolate ur voice from the rest

there is a Buddhist teaching that says 'what you think, what you feel, what you speak & how you act/react' must be in harmony to finding oneself

anyone for free meditation classes by the beach - pls call me..hehehe
