Chronic Pain Fellowship Program - Special Course on Pain Intervention Techniques

Are you in the pain management profession? Looking for advanced pain management courses that you can get your patients rid of chronic pain without harsh and heavy pain medications? Then this blog is for you. Today, we will discuss the program on chronic pain fellowship in India. You can get to know how you can enroll for such a course in India with eligibility criteria, course duration, and benefits of the course for your future.

What is Chronic Pain Management Treatment?

Today’s fast-forward digital-platform-centered lifestyle compels us to suffer from various pains. The most common pains people suffer these days are back (upper and lower) pain, shoulder pain, pain in the scapula, spine pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, waist pain, knee pain, wrist pain, and so on. Pain that resists for more than 3 months with the same or increased frequency is called chronic pain. Chronic pain management treatments are those that help patients get back to their regular lifestyle and work with zero-invasion pain management techniques. 

Who Can Enrol In the Chronic Pain Fellowship Program In India?

Medical professionals who have completed an MD or DNB in anesthesia, an orthopedic, a radiologist, a physical rehabilitation specialist, an MBBS doctor, or a candidate who has completed a Diploma/Degree from a recognized institute in anaesthesiology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, or radiodiagnosis can enroll for the chronic pain fellowship program in India. 

Duration of the Chronic Pain Fellowship Program

The course duration counts on the course structure and volume. In general, the 3-month fellowship program is chosen by medical practitioners. After the completion of the course, a medical practitioner becomes well aware of the pain management techniques and equipment and applies non-invasive techniques to get their patients rid of chronic pain with pharmacologic, non-pharmacologic pain intervention techniques, alternative therapies, non-opioid analgesic, and psychological approaches. 

Conclusion, 

A program of Chronic Pain Fellowship in India helps a medical professional to become recognized as a special pain management doctor. After successful completion of the course, you can work as a pain management specialist in clinics that deal with chronic pain diagnosis and pain intervention treatment.

POV:

You read a few Kidnap-Fam fics, most of which portray Maglor and Maedhros' relationship as strong but tsundere. Then their relationship with Elros and Elrond becomes stronger, and they seem to be a happy but dysfunctional family.

Then you realise that Maedhros kills himself, and Maglor wanders the shores everafter.

people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just

got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer

lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling

game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill

(AO3, lagging behind but more polished)

Major takeaways from this round of practice:

Yes, it's even more impressive in stone.

And even louder when not in a hole in the ground.

The ear protection they've come up with is probably good enough, at least for everyone besides the swan-twins.

Legolas somehow ends up trying to explain the history of explosives to the swan-twins. He has no idea what he's talking about.

A stick of Wizard's Clay will not explode if you drop it from thirty feet up. They aren't supposed to, but it was still nerve-wracking.

Nobody likes being under a rain of little rock fragments but there isn't really anything to be done about that.

They might want to leave the oxen farther away next time.

Estimated sticks of Wizard's Clay left behind to threaten the peace of Middle-earth (counting the 25 left in Emyn Arnen): 5495

Following Alphlîn and Alphsîr's continuing success in practice, Glorfindel is ready to sketch out a very rough battle strategy (which hopefully won't be needed since they still aren't 100% certain there's a Warden).

Alphlîn and Alphsîr will be attacking from the air, with power. (If they get grounded, they should change shape and run out of the way rather than try to take off where they are.)

Glorfindel, with Asfaloth, will be fighting with sword and power.

Maglor and Celeborn will also be ahorse. Maglor will be Singing and using the battle-harp. Celeborn has a bow of Lórien and a sword from Eregion.

Turgon and Celegorm will be on foot. (It would be possible to convince horses to bear them, probably, but the horses would be nervous and distracted and they aren't used to it anymore.) (Celegorm kind of wishes he had a warg for this.) Their weapons are dwarf-forged steel, and their own wills.

Whiterot has a crossbow and doesn't plan to get close. Sharlinnu isn't sure how well she'll be able to fight with the noise-generating Warden right there. She wants to, but she also doesn't want to get in the way — more discussion needed there.

That leaves the children Third-Age-born contingent, and here there is some disagreement.

Zuste, Zena, and Dyn readily agree that they are not up for demigod-fighting, either in capability or interest.

Khitwê and Risyind make it clear they are ready and willing to fight! Khitwê in particular would be happy to avenge his family's suffering on the Warden. (Risyind doesn't think it would make her feel any better than the Warden going down without her direct involvement.) But this isn't the kind of fight they're trained for, and even in areas they are trained for they are perfectly adequate, not outstanding. If Glorfindel says it's better for them to hang back they won't argue.

Legolas and Gimli — you don't want to make Legolas and Gimli think you're slighting their abilities, but they're not going to insist on pushing into a fight above their pay grade. They won't argue that this (hypothetical) fight isn't above their pay grade.

…So really the only disagreement is about Elladan and Elrohir.

This fight is above their pay grade, yes, but it's above all of their pay grades. It might have been within Glorfindel's right after he was sent back to Middle-earth, or Maglor's at the height of his power and skill before being ground down by time and grief for over six thousand years, and Turgon or Celegorm's before being ground down by being orcs for over six thousand years. It's not now.

Celeborn has over two Ages of experience more than his grandsons, and they have over two Ages of exhaustion less than him.

The best Glorfindel can extract from them is an agreement to hang back and stick to bows as much as possible.

******

Maglor finally gets up the nerve to approach Celegorm the day before they are expecting to arrive at the site of the Crucible.

"I know what I need to tell you," Celegorm says, before Maglor can ask. "It's just… Just don't interrupt, all right?"

What being an orc is, according to Celegorm:

Being bound by fetters on your soul.

Everything in you is warped to some purpose outside you.

Certainty that you are damned and there is nothing you can do about it.

Certainty that you can do as you're meant to willingly or you will be forced, and it will hurt.

Telling yourself it doesn't matter. Just do what you want — anything that brings a moment of relief —because nothing matters.

Hating yourself for everything you've done and every mistake you made to get into this situation.

Hating your fellow condemned for everything they do that's the same as you and everything they do differently.

Hating everyone not condemned for not being condemned.

Hating and hating and hating because it's warmer than despair alone.

It's all the worst days of living bound by the Oath of Fëanor, back to back, forever.

"I've said before it wasn't as different as it should have been," Celegorm concludes at last. "And that's true. But what I don't like to say is sometimes it wasn't different at all. Well, except elven hröar aren't as miserable, so being an orc is more physically painful unless something's gone really wrong, but— I know this has been easier on me because I've lived this already. At least this time I didn't do it to myself."

Maglor has to take some time to think about this.

It's coming together for him, though. He knows — he thinks he knows what he needs to say, now.

******

On a lighter note, Maglor has an idea about trying to get a better idea of Sharlinnu's noise — what if the orcs do some singing?

—This takes a while to explain as people are varying levels of informed about orcs' tone-deafness and well-established tradition of singing anyway. (Also the Hirnedhrim and the swan-twins have never heard of tone-deafness before.)

The orcs, meanwhile, are trying to pick a song.

Whiterot: "And then there were none", maybe?

[A ‘and then there were none’ backwards-counting song of elf-princes, some verses inspired by real events]

Celegorm: And then there was one!

Turgon: Two. And no, I don't think so.

Celegorm: I wish I was back in Goblin-town?

Turgon: If we must—

Sharlinnu: What about the Prince of Cats song?

[A prince of cats got his ass kicked by a girl and a dog, definitely not inspired by real events, honest, but also definitely not to be sung in Mordor]

Turgon: Definitely that one.

(Other noteworthy subjects of orc songs:

Fear Us We are doing a task [which isn’t very interesting and this at least livens it up] We are going to kill you and destroy everything you love and have fun doing it We’ve been marching a long time and it’s annoying The Sun is a bitch I Fear Nothing Except The Sea Which Is Fucking Terrifying My warg is the best warg, she’s eaten lots of babies Behold my gruesome trophies My body is the most fucked up and uncomfortable but I make it work There’s Something In These Caves (It’s A Dragon And Planning To Eat Us) These Orders Indicate Our Senior Leadership Has Shit For Brains Today Is A Terrible Day To Die But I Guess That’s What We’re Doing )

The orcs end up singing most of the day.

It does not sound very good, but it's nice to see them enthusiastic.

Shoutout to my pastor who, upon hearing that I struggle with painful periods and anxiety that literally gives me insomnia, but also have never been to a doctor in my entire 23 years of life,

grabbed me by the shoulders,

shook me back and forth, gently but still very much like one shakes a toddler,

and said, “Crystal, get a doctor!”

You have so very dearly missed the point of this post.

If you wanna prostrate yourself and constantly kill yourself in this pursuit of a righteousness, have at it. Throw yourself at God's feet and say "I'm trying, I'm trying! Please see how I'm trying!" I did that for years. From 1995 to 2017, and even beyond, I did that.

And, you know what? It only made me suicidal! Yaaaaay!

Morally policing ourselves is tiring. It is taxing. It is a strain. You may never get this way, but the rest of us? We are tired of holding ourselves to a moral police for shit that won't even happen.

Thoughts lead to intentions, and intentions lead to actions. Violent thoughts don't always cause violent intentions, but violent people invariably started with violent thoughts.

Violent people obsess over their violent thoughts. For reasons moral or pure, violent people obsess over their violent thoughts, which everyone has. Having one or two violent thoughts does not make a person violent, and that is the point of this post.

Again, if you wanna constantly martyr yourself for this (metaphorically. Denying yourself peace with intrusive thoughts and obsessing over them because they aren't good enough for God), have at it. I'll remind you, though, that Jesus and God are both violent.

Jesus is a violent man who cursed a fig tree and let it rot. (violence against nature)

God is a violent being who sentenced nine-year-olds to death via mauling by bears because they made fun of a man's bald head.

Jesus is a violent man who thought about his impending violence for at least three hours while he braided the whip (no small task!) that he would use to ransack the tabernacle that had been turned into a market.

God is a violent being who turned a person into a pillar of salt for daring to turn back.

Abraham was a violent man in pursuit of God's will, taking his firstborn and preparing to burn him.

Gideon was a violent man who set out to destroy an army according to God's will.

God allowed incredible violence upon the Hebrews in Egypt, allowing millions to die just to glorify his own name when they were freed from a slavery he allowed in the first place. In that same story, he killed all the firstborns of Egypt just to make a point. He both allowed and perpetuated violence in his own name.

Reconcile this. The God of the bible is violent. If you're cool with that, then cool. You've gotten to the "babies get baby food and adults get adult food" portion of Jesus's lecture. And stop policing others who are less violent than he. You're not God. Don't take his job. If he wants to smite us, let him. That's his job that he gave to himself. It doesn't matter if it "hurts his heart" or "isn't what he'd rather do." He condemned himself to this violence. He chose it, just like he chose to create. That's his job. Yours is only to make your stance on him known and let everyone else choose for themselves. If they don't make your choice, then fine.

Let your bible dictate your own actions. Don't use it as a justification for people who are not of the faith. Let everyone else choose their own values and follow those.

If we're smitten, let it happen. It's God's will at that point, and he will choose violence then. But don't you dare try and talk down to us who want only a little bit of peace from our own minds while we're here.

Teaching children thinking bad thoughts about someone is the same thing as murdering that person is fucked up. 

Thought crime doesn’t exist. No one has ever been harmed or killed by someone thinking negative thoughts about them. 

You know what has harmed people though? Teaching them they are evil for things they can’t control. Especially those who have intrusive thoughts. 

Here’s for everyone who has been taught their thoughts make them evil.

Intrusive thoughts are not your secret desires. 

They are involuntary. 

You don’t need to be ashamed of them. 

They will pass.

You are not committing taboo. 

No one can read your mind.

No one will ever know what’s in your thoughts unless you feel like telling them.

No one can judge you for what you are thinking, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

Your thoughts are private

You are not a bad person.

Seven with MIT ties elected to National Academy of Medicine for 2024

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/seven-with-mit-ties-elected-to-national-academy-of-medicine-for-2024/

Seven with MIT ties elected to National Academy of Medicine for 2024

The National Academy of Medicine recently announced the election of more than 90 members during its annual meeting, including MIT faculty members Matthew Vander Heiden and Fan Wang, along with five MIT alumni.

Election to the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine and recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service.

Matthew Vander Heiden is the director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, a Lester Wolfe Professor of Molecular Biology, and a member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. His research explores how cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to fuel tumor growth and has provided key insights into metabolic pathways that support cancer progression, with implications for developing new therapeutic strategies. The National Academy of Medicine recognized Vander Heiden for his contributions to “the development of approved therapies for cancer and anemia” and his role as a “thought leader in understanding metabolic phenotypes and their relations to disease pathogenesis.”

Vander Heiden earned his MD and PhD from the University of Chicago and completed  his clinical training in internal medicine and medical oncology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. After postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School, Vander Heiden joined the faculty of the MIT Department of Biology and the Koch Institute in 2010. He is also a practicing oncologist and instructor in medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. 

Fan Wang is a professor of brain and cognitive sciences, an investigator at the McGovern Institute, and director of the K. Lisa Yang and Hock E. Tan Center for Molecular Therapeutics at MIT.  Wang’s research focuses on the neural circuits governing the bidirectional interactions between the brain and body. She is specifically interested in the circuits that control the sensory and emotional aspects of pain and addiction, as well as the sensory and motor circuits that work together to execute behaviors such as eating, drinking, and moving. The National Academy of Medicine has recognized her body of work for “providing the foundational knowledge to develop new therapies to treat chronic pain and movement disorders.”

Before coming to MIT in 2021, Wang obtained her PhD from Columbia University and received her postdoctoral training at the University of California at San Francisco and Stanford University. She became a faculty member at Duke University in 2003 and was later appointed the Morris N. Broad Professor of Neurobiology. Wang is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and she continues to make important contributions to the neural mechanisms underlying general anesthesia, pain perception, and movement control. 

MIT alumni who were elected to the NAM for 2024 include:

Leemore Dafny PhD ’01 (Economics);

David Huang ’85 MS ’89  (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) PhD ’93 Medical Engineering and Medical Physics);

Nola M. Hylton ’79 (Chemical Engineering);

Mark R. Prausnitz PhD ’94 (Chemical Engineering); and

Konstantina M. Stankovic ’92 (Biology and Physics) PhD ’98 (Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology)

Established originally as the Institute of Medicine in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine addresses critical issues in health, science, medicine, and related policy and inspires positive actions across sectors.

“This class of new members represents the most exceptional researchers and leaders in health and medicine, who have made significant breakthroughs, led the response to major public health challenges, and advanced health equity,” said National Academy of Medicine President Victor J. Dzau. “Their expertise will be necessary to supporting NAM’s work to address the pressing health and scientific challenges we face today.”
