Rankings are titles given to members depending on the number of their posts, the more u post, the higher your rank will be.

The higher you get in your ranks, the more (pips) you get. Pips are those small blue squares next to your name, the "Newbie" has no pips, the "Taking History..." has 1, "Inspecting..." 2 pips, and so on....

When the forum was started, my concern was to encourage everyone to post, so the ranks were made kinda easy, to add thrill to it..
Now things have changed, the forum is well established and the members are joining on a daily basis, so it would be fair enough to increase the post counts, in order to have real discrepancy.

This is the old system:





And here's the new one:






Please remember: POSTING NONSENSE JUST TO INCREASE THE POST COUNT MEANS AN EXCUSE FOR ME TO DECREASE THE ABUSERS POST COUNT, so plz don't let me do that!


Thanks for understanding.

TY Kadem .. u know whats the best for the forum

very reasonable
although i didn't know what they count 4 at 1st
but later i found out that they r things related to medecine so it's really cool

infact I still don't know what do they mean
well .. most of them I guess!

hey kadem do u think that someday someone will do a heart transplant in this forum

well ,
this's what i found out
palpating: examining "a part of the body" by touch..
percussing: gently tapping "a part of the body" as a part of diagnosis"
ausculating:
the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs with a stethoscope.


i think these were the ones we didn't know

so I guess now Im ..

should I be happy now

Well guys these are the essential steps in the clinical examination, in sequence of course:

U start by inspecting which is looking without touching, examining carefully, then u proceed to palpating which is (as Safa said) examining by touch, then u move to percussing which is the gentle tapping for eliciting sounds, to examine even more u go to auscultating which is using the stethoscope (el simma3a) to listen to sounds (heart and lungs mainly).

I hope it's clear for u now

p.s: I think SURELY someday there will be someone doing transplant surgery, Muhannad.

6amooooooooooooooo7 my friend

maaan think about it ... I guess you'd have to be married and the son of your seventh son I guess he'd be the one for it

or I can simply increase a member's post count to 9999 without him actually posting all that, and when he does the 10000th... he'll be doing transplant surgery....
b4 i even get my first child!


ha? any nominees?

me me me me me
you know here would be the second place I might do it in
as the first one is my dreams ofcource

i have not been here

good answer kadem

& Huge i guess u r the one 4 this

i thnk that there's great gap b/t auscultating ( 400 ) and Dx.ing ( 1000)... which make the goal to reach the final level is impossible, even 4 u kadem!!
looking forward for ur fast reply..
