Hi there. How are you? I hope you are doing great. Welcome to my short diary for Saturday, June 21, 2025!

On Saturday, I could be on the treadmill for around 15 minutes after 10 pm. It helped me reach over 10k steps on the day. The rest of the steps were made from the casual walk between my home, clinic, and the mosque.

On the first workday of the week after the weekend, I consulted only 21 patients in my chamber. Hence, it wasn't a busy day. All three GP doctors were on duty. Moreover, summer vacation is going on here. Many families are on a trip to other places or countries. Hence, the number of patients is also lower nowadays.

On Saturday, one worker came with acute tetanus-like spasms in his fingers, hands, and upper limbs. During summer, we get many workers with similar conditions. We usually give calcium gluconate injection in intravenous drip. We gave the same management to him. He was partially okay when he left our clinic.

Poo Pills

The human intestine is home to bacteria, both good and bad. In a healthy individual, there is a balance between two kinds of bacteria. When bad bacteria take control over the good bacteria, the disease process starts. Some bad bacteria evolve into their worst form by becoming resistant to all antibiotics. They are then called Superbugs! They may escape from the gut environment to enter other systems such as the urinary tract or bloodstream, causing life-threatening infections.

Health experts are working tirelessly to fight against superbugs. Not many new antibiotics are in the pipeline, so they are working from different angles. One such angle is to support the good bacteria in the human gut by increasing their numbers, which could eventually flush out the bad bacteria. And, it brings us Poo pills!

Pool pills are made of feces from healthy donors (from a stool bank). It is ensured that there are no superbugs and no undigested food materials; only good bacteria remain. The feces are then dried up into powder, put in a pill. The pill is to be swallowed. The pill remains unchanged in the mouth and stomach, and only releases the materials into the intestine.

The pill was already administered to 41 patients at Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals in London as a human trial. According to the authorities, the result is really promising. The donated good bacteria in the poo pills were detected in the intestine one month later!! That means they won their fight against bad bacteria and remained on the battlefield strong!
