I ief Editor Amrika Rohan, 1sio,n for The Pulse from this / to future publications.

The pulse serves as a major portfolio for the Faculty of Medical Sciences and its respective staff and students. The Pulse grants us as students a platform and a window to produce and view the variety of opportunities and new innovations of the medical community. We as a faculty of an everchanging and ever improving field need an outlet to vocalise and learn new concepts with regards to culture, technology, research and innovation in medicine - which The Pulse is striving to bring to our students. I have intent to incorporate aspects of both academia and extra- curricular of all the medical disciplines; I am eager to deliver quality productions with unceasing ambition and passion. As a medical based platform, we can now exhibit our very own local medical professionals and encourage discussions on progress in this common journey. There is intention now that The Pulse provides opportunities to learn and display skills and talent, expertise, and virtuosity; thereby improving and making our students holistically apt in vocational skills other than/ along with academics. For this publication, from the design of the logo, to articles, to graphic art have been accomplished by purely a student-based team. We are proud that on our team are students with previously hidden talents are given the opportunity to be trailblazers of new accomplishments in a traditionally academic driven faculty. Our major goal is to be a consistent publication, continuously appealing to the secretly skilled medical student; to empower them to redefine a medical professional as an aggregated, multi-faceted professional. I motivate each of our readers to allow yourself to learn and not limit your potential within medical school, take opportunities to diversify your capabilities!

What's the Pulse? "The Pulse," its name alone captures everything that our faculty stands for. It boldly gives our fearless pride in the Medical Sciences. It is upbeat, nonstop and fast-paced , synonymous with the day of a medical student. It reflects life intrapersonal and within medicine, and good character is something that we choose to embody!

This issue of the pulse is meant to be a resurrection; given that it has been dormant for the past year, the new executive team has produced a magazine with a fresh, new face . It gives readers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with all things Medical Sciences. From the Miss Mt. Hope Pageants to The Rotaract Club events, it accommodates for all.

in Conclusion •••

·",l 1 ··-

A message I'd like to leave you with is one shared by our esteemed lecturer, Dr. E. M. Davis. It was a stressful day for some colleagues and myself when Dr. Davis shared -which stands to me as invaluable advice"Have something to look fo rward to every day". At a first analysis, it may seem confusing, but when it is put into practice, its true relevance peaks! I have adapted this ever since I learned of it and I promise that it has been one of the things that have kept me sane. It does not have to be anything major we have to look forward to; it can be something as simple as a cup of coffee, a rela xing hot shower, or even going home to our families, children, and pets. Having this provides us with a healthy determination and makes us more goal-oriented; on the other hand, when this daily event is met, it gives a great feeling of fulfilment. A simple routine that can make the world of a difference, I Thank-you Dr. Davis. In closing, I hope my experience can reach out to everyone and help you in times of stress and fru stration; which I might add, this degree does not lack! I look forward to the participation of the entire faculty in the future publications of The Pulse and I do wish that every one of you enjoys this release. Thank you! Warm regards and best wishes, Neval Ragoonath Lead Journalist

motivation? Motivation, inspiration, desire, and impulse. It has multifarious names, and what you choose to call it is completely up to you. The definition for this energy however remains constant. Motivation can be defined as the driving force or reason for your actions. To put it simply, it's the "why" behind a decision . Why do you want to become a doctor, or drive the latest model of Mercedes Benz? Maybe your dream is to give back to the world, or it's._simply to live a1healthy and balanced life. Whatever the endeavor m~y be, there must be a reas~r, _):>eh ind pursuing it~ , I ) ,, : -~

Ther~ is however in my opinion, 1 pervasive misunderstanding · between being in a·:_motivate~ ~tat~. and achievin g, one's goals. Motivation is often a~ so1 iate"d with 'f ... passion, and is most times considered to be the salient component of great success in .any"'capa'city.

W~ile mar:iy_. may agree that in order to achieve anything, especially _ something arduous that requires a great deal of~ffort, there is some level of motivation that is necessary. I \ concur with this opinion, however just like being happy or sad, motivati~n, is an!~mot_ional state. The belief ,~...._ that great success.or the achievement of anything oft '-' · significance, must be -matcb.ed with an equal amount I \ ' '..;. of motivation is w~ re rrV 'o piriion diff,e ri·~1 _ __

Emotions can be '.p latile; they can change de~ending1 on the situation and th·e~circumstances~So how does'"'· ~ one 1 ely on an emotion that is consdntly subject to !t. ' """ "change, in acquiring success - something that requires continuity and consistency. The answer is simple, you can't. Simply watching a video on line to get an emotional high about exercising won't be enough to get you to your summer body goals. It takes discipline. Discipline exists where motivation doesn't. Discipline is the fulfilling of an obligation, regardless of your emotional state. Of course, there are many other factors that go into one being successful, but discipline is one characteristic that is quite undervalued . Motivation has its place, and I encourage you not only motivate yourselfbut others as well. I do, ' enq)urage you to cultivate yo~ r sense of discipline and consistency. These traits !i ,ill carry you to places where , motivation is sc_:>metimes just not in the n:,9od to go. ) ; ·_" '

pro;ect H.O.P .E According to the World Population Review of 2019 thus far, Trinidad and Tobago places at number 36 in the world for Suicidal Rates with 13.6 suicides per 100,000, as the highest in the region (out of 176 countries). Experts such as Professor Gerard Hutchinson, Head of Clinical Medical Sciences at U.W.I., tell us that suicide is multifactorial, that is, there is never a single reason as to why one may think that ending their life is the only way to end perpetual pain and suffering. Suicidal ideation and suicide are regarded with stigmas such as that the person is cowardly or does not care about their family. These irrational statements cannot be further from truth. RCMH in collaboration with the Peer Counselling Association (PCA), sought to create a greater awareness of suicidal ideation, suicide and its stigmas through the pro;ect H.O.P.E initiative (Hold On, Pain Ends) and our Suicide Survivor Stories. Suicide Survivor Stories were real-life accounts of persons who struggled with suicide, sharing their experiences of coping with Suicide and Depression that were published leading up to event. We started with the U.W.I Community, where Dr. Chin Yuen Kee, counsellor of CAPS (Counselling and Psychological Services) explained that a more rigorous protocol has been instituted for suicidal risk checks, as there was a 40% increase from 2016/2017 to 2017 /2018 amongst U.W.I. students. Pro;ect H.O.P.E was held in the Food Court Greens in U.W.I on January 31st, 2019. It aimed to create avenues of support in the forms of art, music, poetry, drama and presented resources (Suicide Hotlines, Lifeline, PCA, CAPS) for persons who may be struggling with suicidal ideation or suicide. They may be simply neglected, passed in the street, taken for granted when missing from class or are often dissolved in desensitized conversations of merriment and fun, not actively seeking out help for themselves.

Pro;ect H.O.P.E provides a forum of support to let them know that they are not alone, there are others in similar situations, and to make them aware of people, resources and organizations available to help. With the help of many willing hands, the day was an immense success. From beautiful art pieces depicting both pain and hope in suicide, to spoken words that rocked us to our core, challenging the aforementioned stigmas, to dances that melded our hearts with empathy and understanding; they all coalesced to create the powerful message, Hold On, Pain Ends. It all climaxed as the founder, Anne Marie Ming Hon, of the RCMH Executive, shared her personal struggle with suicide, pain and her strength in overcoming. The audience and even those huddled in nearby food courts listened attentively as our message was made clear. The night ended with a vigil where candles were lit and shared amongst those present, in memory of those we have lost to suicide.

DR. ARVIND AND DR. GEETA KURHADE The Pulse chose the Kurhades for this edition as they are one of the most admired couples of the faculty. The Kurhades have been married since June 6th, 1984 making it 35 years of marriage in 2019. Dr Geeta and Dr Arvind have been in the same fields from the very beginning of their career, "We had joined as lecturers in our respective fields of Physiology and Microbiology in the same Institution- the Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur India in 1985, as gazetted officers (Government Medical Institute). Later we both were made in charges ofladies' hostels and boys' hostel as well in 1995," and now as respected lecturers in the Faculty of Medical Sciences. "We have [always] loved working together." This was not the first time the Kurhades have been featured as an ideal couple in the work field; they have both won favourite lecturer awards and most loved couples by their previous students back home, India. Dr Geeta Kurhade came to the University of the West Indies, Faculty of Medical Sciences in 2009 and Dr Arvind Kurhade followed her in 2011. The Pulse admires the brilliance and support this Doctor- Doctor relationship embodies in their academics.
