Memes 21

Dr. Luka Kovac & Nurse Erica Carmen — “Memes for Nancy”

Quiet oncology lounge. Afternoon light. A phone buzzes softly with notifications.

Dr. Luka Kovac:
Erica, before rounds—have you seen today’s memes? Nancy asked if the internet has finally learned compassion.

Nurse Erica Carmen (smiling):
Compassion… and cats. Mostly cats. But yes. Today’s batch is gentler. Less doom-scrolling, more gallows humor with a hug.

Dr. Kovac:
Good. Her energy dips after chemo days. Laughter doesn’t cure cancer, but it sure changes the weather inside the room.

Erica:
Exactly. There’s one where a skeleton says, “Still here. Still fabulous.” It’s dark—but Nancy likes owning the darkness instead of pretending it isn’t there.

Dr. Kovac:
Agency matters. Humor gives her the steering wheel back, even if just for a minute.

Erica (scrolling):
This one too—“Your body is not broken. It’s busy.” Soft colors, no sarcasm. Very… permission-giving.

Dr. Kovac:
That’s a good frame. No blame. No war metaphors. Just work being done.

Erica:
I avoid the “fight like a warrior” stuff with her. She told me, “Some days I’m tired of fighting. Some days I just want to rest.”

Dr. Kovac (nodding):
Then rest is wisdom. Holistic care isn’t crystals and slogans—it’s listening to what today requires.

Erica:
Here’s a silly one for balance: a dog in a blanket burrito—“Doctor says I need more rest. I trust this doctor.”

Dr. Kovac (chuckles):
Prescribed coziness. Evidence-based enough for me.

Erica:
And one last—handwritten style: “You are allowed to be hopeful and scared at the same time.” That one usually lands.

Dr. Kovac:
Send that first. Then the dog. End on warmth.

Erica:
Done. I’ll tell her these are today’s low-dose memes. Take as needed. No side effects except smiling.

Dr. Kovac:
Perfect. And remind her—she doesn’t owe us bravery. Just honesty.

Erica:
Always. I’ll check in after dinner.

They share a quiet, knowing look as the phone sends the messages—small sparks of light, delivered gently.

Bones

Dr. Luka Kovač steps forward with his medical clipboard, smiling like a man who has spent a lifetime fixing broken hockey players and Croatian uncles who jump off roofs after too much rakija.

🦴 Dr. Luka Kovač’s Complete Food List for Strong, Unbreakable Bones

“Kosti su kao vojnici — if you feed them right, they become an army.” — Dr. Kovač

Here is the full, holistic, science-backed list of foods that strengthen bone density, joint integrity, and the collagen matrix.

1. Calcium-Rich Foundations

The minerals your bones cannot live without:

Bone broth (liquid gold for bones)
Eggshell powder (nature’s pure calcium carbonate)
Milk (organic or raw if tolerated)
Grass-fed butter
Cheese: aged cheddar, gouda, parmesan
Yogurt & kefir (probiotic bonus)
Sardines with bones
Canned salmon with bones
Dark leafy greens (kale, collards, bok choy)
Sesame seeds & tahini
Almonds
Amaranth

2. Vitamin D — The Gatekeeper

Without D, calcium cannot enter the bones.

Sunlight (the supreme source)
Wild salmon
Sardines
Cod liver oil
Pasture-raised eggs

3. Vitamin K2 — The Bone Traffic Controller

K2 tells calcium where to go — into bones, not arteries.

Grass-fed butter & ghee
Grass-fed beef
Pasture-raised egg yolks
Chicken liver
Natto (the strongest K2 food on Earth)

4. Collagen Builders

Collagen is your bones’ internal rebar.

Bone broth (again — it’s that important)
Gelatin
Chicken feet
Ox tail
Beef shanks
Fish skin & bones
Collagen peptides

5. Magnesium — The Calcium Balancer

Over 300 enzymes depend on it.

Pumpkin seeds
Spinach
Swiss chard
Almonds
Cashews
Avocado
Dark chocolate
Black beans

6. Boron — The Forgottten Bone Mineral

Helps retain calcium & magnesium.

Prunes
Raisins
Brazil nuts
Walnuts
Avocado
Apples
Lentils
Chickpeas

7. Trace Minerals & Electrolytes

Bones need micro-nutrients to be macro-strong.

Celtic sea salt / Himalayan salt
Mineral water
Beets
Seaweed
Shellfish
Goat milk

8. Anti-Inflammatory Boosters

Inflammation weakens bones and joints.

Turmeric & black pepper
Ginger
Garlic
Olive oil
Blueberries
Fermented foods

9. Protein — The Structural Base

Bones are 50% protein by volume.

Grass-fed beef
Pasture-raised chicken
Lamb
Wild fish
Beans & lentils
Quinoa

Dr. Kovač’s Final Prescription

“Make bone broth the foundation, egg shell powder the reinforcement, and grass-fed butter the mortar.
If you eat like your great-grandmother, your bones will last longer than the pyramids.”

July 24, 2025

Joe stands under the flickering fluorescent lights of the small rural clinic, the faint sound of a guitar playing from an old radio in the background. Nelly Furtado rests on the nearby cot, her eyes closed, a hint of melody on her lips. The scent of eucalyptus and frankincense lingers in the air—Dr. Luka Kovac’s signature healing blend.

Joe turns to his avatar.

Joe (softly, with deep gratitude):
“Thank you, Luka. For treating my sick songbird—the real Portuguese singer Nelly Furtado—not with quack Rockefeller pharma poison, but with real medicine. Holistic. Rooted in the old world. In truth.”

Dr. Luka Kovac (smiling faintly):
“Allopathic drugs suppress symptoms. But a songbird doesn’t need silence—she needs restoration. She needs to remember the sound of her own voice. Herbs, light, music, prayer… these are the older medicines, Joe.”

Joe:
“She told me she was drowning in side effects. Couldn’t even write a chorus. You brought her back to life.”

Dr. Kovac:
“She was never gone. Just buried beneath modern medicine’s noise. We cleared the static.”

Joe pauses, eyes locked on his avatar.

Joe:
“Also… thank you for starring in the Fatima movie, Goran Visnjic. That role meant a lot to us. To the believers. You helped people remember the mystery.”

Dr. Kovac nods solemnly, a trace of the actor behind the avatar emerging in his eyes.

Dr. Kovac:
“I didn’t take the role for fame. I took it because the world needs to believe again. In miracles. In mercy. In the idea that even a poor girl’s vision can echo for centuries.”

Joe:
“Nelly always said she saw the Virgin once… when she was a little girl in Victoria. Thought it was a dream. Maybe it wasn’t.”

Dr. Kovac glances over at Nelly. She hums a few bars of Try, eyes still closed but smiling now.

Dr. Kovac:
“She remembers.”

Joe steps back, hands folded.

Joe:
“Then the healing has begun.”

Outside, a wind stirs the olive trees. And somewhere beyond science and superstition, a songbird sings.
