Have you ever heard of the darkest chapter of prostitution in Indonesia? Its victim wasn't human, but an orangutan named Pony. > Born around 1996, Pony was taken from her mother when she was still a baby and ended up enslaved in a brothel in Kereng Pangi Village, Central Kalimantan. > Tragically, she was forced into sex work to satisfy the lust of local palm oil workers, at an extremely low rate of just around Rp35,000 to Rp38,000 per session. > As the "main star," Pony was forced to serve many customers multiple times a day without respite, making her the brothel owner's biggest money-making machine. > Pony was chained to a filthy mattress, and all her fur was shaved off every two days to expose her skin, leaving her covered in infected wounds and mosquito bites. > She was made to wear lipstick, perfume, jewelry, and cruelly trained to flirt; her body would reflexively sway her hips every time a man passed by her room. > Ironically, because she was seen as exotic (a novelty), Pony was far more popular and often chosen by customers over the human female sex workers in the same place. > Her rescue in February 2003 was highly dramatic; BOSF and the authorities had to deploy 35 armed personnel because the brothel owner fiercely resisted to protect their "talisman." > Now, Pony has successfully regained her natural instincts and lives freely in the wild habitat of Borneo, serving as a living witness to the grim exploitation of wildlife and a symbol of conservation success.

I’m a Neurologist and I take a statin. That’s the difference between knowledge and action. Literally the first concept that we started learning in pathology in second MBBS from ‘Robbins’ was atherosclerosis. How fatty streaks develop: the earliest visible sign of atherosclerosis, develop in the aorta during early childhood, often by age 3, and are present in nearly all children by age 10. We then forgot all about it for many years . Most of our literature deals with secondary prevention, but I now realise after reading tons of literature on atherosclerosis and Braunwald’s LDL years concept, primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the way to go. What’s the point of knowing all this, If you don’t take steps to ‘heal thyself’ The lower you keep your cholesterol on the longer you can manage it, the less likely you are to suffer from the big three (CAD, stroke and Peripheral artery disease) There is some things you can modify and others you can’t. Your cholesterol levels are definitely a modifiable risk factor. If you don’t think so , check out the literature on "SMuRFs" (Standard Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors).

A very sad case of a 15 year old boy who took sachets of Dexamethazone tablets, and swallowed 15 tablets at a go. Asked why they were taking the drugs, his friend whom he collected the drug from said, they were taking it to make them fat and eat more. Now the 15year old boy fell sick days later and was told by the suspect not to say that he took overdose of the said drugs. He died four days later😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
