Protect ur powerpoint presentation or .doc files

all you need to do is to set a password. after this no one can edit/ modify your document.. steps are as follow....

1. Go to Tools > Options. Click on the Security tab.

2. To prevent unauthorized modification, type in a password under “Password to modify,” then select OK.

3. Enter a password. Re-enter your password to confirm. Select OK.

4. Go to File > Save and close PowerPoint.

5.  The " Password to modify” will allow anyone to open a “read-only” copy of your presentation. This means no one can make any changes to your documentation unless they know the password.

6. Note: You can go the extra step and require that people enter a password to OPEN the document. Simply enter a password under the “Password to confirm” dialog box. If you set password in this box no one can even see the document without password.

7. The next time you open the document, the dialog box will say “Enter password to modify, or open read-only.” You should instruct the students or colleagues who have access to your document to select “Open read only” when they open your document to prevent confusion.

8. To remove password protection, simply go back to Tools > Options and the Security Tab and remove the passwords

falling standars of medical practise!!

we doctors r humans..so its natural that we might make mistakes sometimes.. but what if these mistakes (??? or intended) happens too often? i don wanna go into details of why or how.. i m describing my own experience

recently my grand ma got sick..i was not there then.. so they took him to a very famous doctor in darbhanga..he advised hospitalisation and some medicines..i came after some time and examined her.. i think it was lower respiratory tract infection only... but this doctor advised dexamethasone (in high dose) and deriphylline three times a day..wen i saw the whole prescription i was surprised... u can say it was killing mosquotoes with cannons..sounds silly na?

moreover, he had his suspicion of active pulmonary tuberculosis... man how can u give steroids wen u suspect active tuberculosis infection? more so wen steroids r nt needed!!!

and height was like this... after seeing blood reports he declares grand ma diabetic as blood sugar was high! damn, any 1st year medical student can xplain that wen u put any patient on steroids blood sugars will be elevated. u cant stamp all such patients diabetic!! u hv to repeat blood sugar wen steroids r stopped... and tis guy prescribed even medicines for diabetes...

wats this?? jus commercial compulsions...or irresponsibility..or somethin else??..wat do u think?
