Metabolism

🎬 Let’s continue our cinematic metaphor…

If
ABG = VFX 🎬
EKG = Sound Design 🎧
Mechanical Ventilation = The Double 🎭
Imaging = The Camera 📷
Antimicrobial Agents = The Avengers 🛡️💥
Molecular Biology = The Screenwriter of Life ✍️🧠
Genetics = The Casting Director 🧬🎭

Then…

🍽️ Metabolism = The Film Crew’s Catering Department 👨‍🍳🎥

🎬 In the film of medicine, metabolism = 🍽️ the catering team — constantly fueling the 🎭 cast and 🎥 crew so the production runs smoothly.

Without fuel:

No 👨‍⚕️ actors perform,
no 💡 lights stay on,
and no 🎬 scenes get shot

• Carbs = Quick snacks 🍞 for fast scenes

• Fats = Slow-release meals 🧈 for long shoots

• Proteins = Structural meals 🍗 that rebuild after tough takes

• ATP = The espresso shots ☕ keeping everything awake and running

Like a well-fed crew, a well-fueled body brings the script (molecular biology 🧬), the drama (pathology 🎭), and the action (pharmacology 🎼) to life.

This book seamlessly connects 🔥 metabolism with 🩺 pathology and 💊 pharmacology — like a skilled 🎼 composer weaving recurring 🎵 musical themes throughout a 🎬 film, turning scattered 🎹 notes into a powerful, unified 🎻 score.
