Again, I’ve decided to put up a separate blog for all my medical and health-related entries. I just notice that it can rather confuse readers as to the tone of my blog writing. So, since I started Prudence and Madness as a personal blog, I’ll retain it as a personal blog. For that health and medical aspect of my writing, these will have to be shunted to a separate blog so that readers who are more apt to read my medical opinions, they can just go to that health and medical blog and be spared of my personal rants. 
And, no, this isn’t what my previous post is about. Making a medical and health blog isn’t feisty. 
Here’s today’s entry in my new medical and health blog:
by Tess Termulo, M.D.
In as much that we welcome with open arms the palpable (and very wet) onslaught of the rainy season, which could be a solution to our present problem of water shortage, we should be wary that this, also, signals the beginning of the flood season. And for the medical clerks and interns in different institutions of healthcare, this means, not only a more difficult and dangerous trek going to duties, but also, more patients contracting leptospirosis that will be filling up the wards (from the medical school I came from, this case is rather common during the rainy days and is a favorite topic for edema rounds, admission conference, and even morbidity/mortality conferences).
For ordinary, non-medical people though, what should the word “leptospirosis” make them think?
Two words: Avoid floods.
To have further understanding why we should avoid getting caught in flood waters, let’s look further into the details of the disease.

This too is my problem sometimes. People think my blog is a nursing blog. But having a separate blog for Nursing things is really difficult.
