Online Health Expert Dr.Harish Malik who has trained
several thousand successful health care professionals including many doctors
and nurses in the DC/MD/VA (DMV) and Baltimore Region via his Elite Tutoring Service
[a one of its kind Novel One-on-One Focused and
Individualized, Diagnostic and Remedial (FIDR) Tutoring Service available in over 50 subjects]
believes that the best way to understand, explain and create research postulates
and hypotheses in the field of medicine is to use the real life analogies (RLA) approach.
Dr. Harish Malik
also uses his RLA approach to teach his students, generate patient teaching
strategies, and breakdown difficult to comprehend medical concepts, diseases
processes, diagnostic and treatment modalities for them in a simple to
understand language to help them in
making the optimal evidence based decisions to help them succeed or to
prevent/fight disease, as the case may be.
Real Life Analogy (RLA) approach
Sample:
To explain Immune System to a Student/Patient: Inflammation is defined as nonspecific (innate) localized tissue response to injury (Mnemonic for
causes of injury is VINDICATE ME –
please read my earlier post “What is our immune system and how does it work?”) It is classified as acute,
sub-acute or chronic based on the
severity and onset. The type of cells and mediators involved are different
just like the Real Life Analogy (RLA) scenario where different forces are
deployed by us for the repair process and containment of damage with different
types of conflicts (pathogens) or damages (non-infectious causes) done to our
world, whether these involve one person, a family, community, city, county,
state or a nation. For example the
Marines (Analogous to IgM – a pentamer
Immunoglobulin and Neutrophils –
phagocytic cell- seen in Acute
Inflammation) usually go in right after the intelligence is gathered using drones or secret service agents (Cell
Mediators and signaling involving T-Helper (CD4) cells) and presented (APCs – Antigen Presenting Cells
like the Microglial cells in Brain,
Dendritic cells in Skin, Kupffer
cells in Liver, Mesangial cells in
Kidneys) to make the situation on
the ground conducive for the Ground
forces (IgG – a monomer Immunoglobulin and Lymphocytes, Macrophages and Giant cells – which are syncytial macrophages
seen in Chronic Inflammation trying to contain the pathogens) to take over
and maintain a neutralizing force until the situation is returned very close to
normal. A memory of the injury/conflict
is kept in the form of T and B memory cells for future rapid response to a
similar situation……..excerpts taken from Online Health Expert Dr. Harish Malik's story of Lymphatic and the Immune System.
