Mind Maps

The table is turned, Oh Poo Poo

As a Thinkbuzan Master Trainer for iMindMaps and hand drawn Mind Maps, I will show examples of Mind Maps from differing sources to my participants.

One such example, (not produced with the computer software iMindMaps, and not following the Tony Buzan rules of Mind Maps), is reproduced below from the book Mind Maps for Medicine, by P. McDermott and D.N. Clarke.
Diarrhoeal Disease Mind Map 
I often give this as an example of how a whole medical course and general medicine can be contained in an A4 sized book of about 140 pages. This one page is the only one I understand, I joke, because it is on Diarrheoal Diceases, and being that I am continually travelling I may have to refer to it.
Last Friday was the time.
Early Friday morning I awoke with aching limbs, a rumbling stomach, and I knew things were not good for me.
Sure enough. I suffered. I needed the Mind Map. I could not leave my hotel bathroom for a while. I became cold. I became weak. I became tired. I spent all afternoon Friday and evening in bed.
Friday night, Saturday morning, I continued, even being sick, but there was nothing to bring-up.
But, we had an appointment Saturday mid morning to see the Senior Doctor at Medical Park, Antalya, who I had demonstrated pain control with hypnosis with, with an idea to discuss my work. 
I could not let my colleagues down. Anyway there was nothing left inside me, and I was completely sterile of germs and bugs, having had a really good shower.
When sitting infront of him, the usual social talk started, and my colleagues, talking in Turkish, told him how ill I had been.
The table was turned, the meeting became about me, no matter how much I tried to steer the meeting back to the original agenda, the others were having non of it.
So, I ended up being treated for my diarrhoea, which had stopped anyway.
So this was my big Oh Poo Poo day. At least I new the subject well in more ways than one.
