In the context of drug naming,  drug makers often used "forte"  to indicate that a medication is a stronger or higher-dose version of the standard or regular medication.  It implies that the product contains a greater concentration of the active ingredient or is intended for more potent therapeutic effects.  For example, you might encounter medication names like "PainRelief Forte" or "Vitamin C Forte," where "Forte" suggests increased strength or dosage compared to the non-forte version of the same medication or supplement.  It's a way to distinguish between different formulations or versions of a drug. In the context of medicine, a "forte" typically refers to an individual's strong or specialized area of expertise. For example, a doctor might have a forte in cardiology, meaning they have specialized knowledge and skills in the field of heart health and cardiovascular medicine. Fortes in medicine can vary widely, covering areas ...

Years ago, Derek Chauvin unintentionally killed George Floyd by kneeling on his neck at an arrest point. The US justice misnamed his action a "Third degree murder", as if killing operates at boiling point measured in Celsius scale. Chauvinism is a word used to describe excessive and often irrational loyalty or bias towards a particular group, such as one's own gender, nationality, or beliefs.  It can manifest as an unjust belief in the superiority of one's own group and the denigration or discrimination against other groups. For example, sexism, nationalism, and religious chauvinism are specific forms of this behavior when it relates to gender, nationality, or religion, respectively. Chauvinism can be harmful and contribute to discrimination and prejudice. However, Derek Chauvin's version was different. Angry protesters branded it as an unjust action directed at the black-race, based on the US historical records of division among colour-lines. It was heuristics, a...

It was a warm, sunny morning when I decided to take a leisurely stroll in the city park, seeking solace in the tranquil surroundings. As I meandered along the winding paths, my attention was suddenly drawn to a commotion near a park bench. There, a lady was writhing in agony, suffering from a severe seizure. Passersby gathered, unsure of what to do, their faces filled with concern. Without hesitation, I rushed forward, my heart pounding with adrenaline. I knelt beside the lady and carefully placed her head on my lap to prevent any harm. Her body convulsed uncontrollably, and I could see the fear in her eyes. Instinctively, I remembered my first aid training. I gently turned her onto her side to ensure she wouldn't choke on her own saliva. As the minutes passed like hours, I whispered comforting words, assuring her that help w...
