Modern Phobias

I recently finished reading a book entitled 'Modern Phobias' by Tim Lihoreau. The book describes the new phobias that have emerged in western societies due to modernization.

I will list the modern Kuwaiti phobias that affect the population. You might identify with some of the following diseases. Of course, I must remind you that there are no cures or medication for these phobias and don't bother visiting a psychologist as he or she cannot desensitize you to the fear: we must learn to simply live with them.

'Walkalota' phobia

This fear arises when you arrive at a place and there is no valet parking available, that is there is no attendant to take your car and park it for you. Usually the sufferer is obliged to find his or her own parking and then walk a few minutes from the parking spot to the actual destination.

Symptoms include whining a lot, driving in circles, parking badly so that it is impossible for another driver to park next to you.

'Noraceed' phobia

This phobia occurs when a person's mobile credit is about to finish. A person with this illness is concerned that they will not be able to refill their credit which will inevitably cause them to be out of touch with the many people in their inner circle.

Symptoms: the sufferer will speak very fast so as to conserve as much 'raceed' as possible, and eventually will cause the person to 'miss-call' others to explain the dangerous situation they are in.

'Nocarservice' phobia

In Kuwait, we are not used to getting out of our cars to do anything. Car service is available at the gas station, corner store, video shop, pharmacy, to name but a few. This phobia will appear when a person has honked their horn a few times and no one has come running. The victim of this illness will be very confused and will be unaware of what to do next.

Symptoms include a look of bewilderment will be pasted on as the person proceeds to get out of the car and try to do something by themselves. The experience will likely be extremely shocking and disturbing.


'Noparliment' phobia

This is a very common fear in Kuwait, with many sufferers. This is when you are afraid to wake up and find that parliament has been dissolved. Although I must say this fear is valid and is based on actual occurrences.

Symptoms: frantically checking newspapers, TV and blogs to disprove what you hope is a rumor.

'Gannamelt' phobia

This is the fear that a certain location or room does not have air-conditioning. It gets so hot in Kuwait that one usually thinks that their skin is going to melt off. When a person feels a room getting warmer, this fear takes over.
Symptoms: compulsive fanning of the face, checking of the thermostat and occasional pit stains.

'Freshair' phobia

Kuwait seems to have the largest number of smokers per capita. There are no limits to where these smoker's light up: at the mall (under the no smoking sign), hospitals (beside the patients) and even in an elevator packed with 20 people (where half will be smoking). This phobia is brought on by a location that insists there is not to be any smoking. The person will panic at the simple thought that he or she will have to spend a short period of time without smoke billowing out their mouth.

Symptoms: lighting up a cigarette anyway, anxiously searching for the exit and screaming at any authority figure about how unacceptable this is.

'Trueface' phobia

This phobia mainly affects girls, and some boys. This is the fear that the makeup that you have applied in the morning is now fading. Sufferers are afraid that people will see the face that you were born with. Horrifying!!

Symptoms: smothering on any colored cream you find, hiding behind other people until you can rush home and in the most severe cases, wearing a 'nikab' just to hid your true face.

'Noflirting' phobia

This phobia makes its appearance during the weekend and affects both sexes equally. This is the fear that you are at a usual 'pick-up' joint and there is no one to flirt with.

Symptoms: driving around in circles in search of others in the same situation, calling all friends to find out where they are and eventually going to a mall to continue flirting there.

Tips & Trick To Pass The Nursing Board Exam....!!!!

1. Exercise! 30 minutes of brisk walking 3x a week will do. Exercise promotes circulation at the same time gives you energy to study for long periods of time. You will be surprise on how much energy you will have if you do regular exercise.

2. In your review session, I see people copying everything in the black board and does not anymore pay attention to the lecturer, try to listen more to what the lecturer has to say and just copy key points, remember you already took this up at school, the lecturer are only trying to refresh your mind. You will get lots of tips from your lecturer if you listen attentively that you could not find in textbooks.

3. When you get home, try to review what you have written down at review class.

4. Try to go over past board exam questions. Ex. Try to finish 300 questions weekly. It will improve your comprehension at the same time familiarize yourself on how they struture their questions.

5. Have a study partner and take turn to discuss specific areas to be reviewed (cardiovascular system, respiratory sytem, endo etc). As the saying goes "Two heads are better than one". If you can't concentrate at home because of distractions, try the coffee station, library or even go to the beach to study.

6. Make your mnemonics. Post it all around you- in the bathroom, bedside table, in your bag , in the car etc.

7. Focus more on Psychiatric, Maternal Nursing, Community Nursing and Research. Drugs are rarely asked in the Nursing Board Exam. Try to also go over some Nclex questions regarding prioritization. Remember, questions in the exam are to test your competence if you are qualified for an ENTRY LEVEL NURSE only.

8. Try to avoid fatty foods. Drink Vitamin B complex, it helps in blood circulation and better memory.

9. Recommended books are Carl Balita textbooks, Community Health Nursing, passed board exam questionnaires.

10. Think Positive! Love and pamper yourself because it will reep all benefits in the end.

11. It helps if you can group together and ask each other questions. It speeds up learning.

12. Decide on a study habit. Ex. 1 hour daily before you sleep.

13. If you are wondering, "What if i made a mistake shading the wrong box, should i go ahead and erase it and shade the correct one?" What i did was, if I know the correct answer and that I shaded the wrong box, i went off and corrected my answer. BUT, you have to make sure to shade the back portion also so that it will not create dent. Worked for me.

14. Pray! It can it really do wonders...
