    Be Still and Reflect

    by Ngozi Osuagwu, MD | April 21st, 2019

    Be Still and Reflect

    I was on my 3-mile walk with my husband on Easter Sunday reflecting on all that was happening in the world and wondering whether anyone could make a difference. It just seems overwhelming. He then quoted Mother Theresa:

    “Never worry about the numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

    When I got home from the walk, I immediately googled to confirm that he was correct and chanced upon the Mother Theresa’s Anyway poem.

    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;

    Forgive them anyway

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

    Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

    Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

    Be honest and frank anyway.

    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

    Build anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

    Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

    Do good anyway.

    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

    Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

    It was never between you and them anyway

    Find time this week to just be still and reflect.

    The book discusses common gynecological and women’s health issues in a series of witty and entertaining letters. These letters, all educational, offer suggestions on what approaches to take in tackling the medical problems that typically bring women to an ob/gynecologist. The letters are spiced with art, a poem and quotes. Although its emphasis is on gynecology and women’s health, it touches on some other medical issues that make women visit their doctors.

    The second half of the book briefly discusses the most common gynecological conditions and also provides an overview of sexually transmitted infections. A list of annotated websites dealing with the different topics in the book is provided for the reader who wants to pursue each subject in depth.
