DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Change your passwords . This technique is creating cues in your environment to prompt you to act in a certain way. I recently read abouta man who used this specific password technique to process his  anger  after his  divorce . He changed his password to  Forgive @h3r, and it worked. His next password was Quit@smoking4ever, and it helped him quite  smoking . Think about how many times you enter a password during your day. Make it something that is going to help you create the environment you want. Give someone a hug . Hugs are so important that they now have their own day—January 21 was actually Give Someone a Hug Day. Hugs are good stress relievers. Hugging someone causes you to release  oxytocin , a  hormone  that promotes pro-social behaviors that can contribute to relaxation, trust, and compassion. In his popular  TED talk (link is external) , Dr. Paul Zak prescribes at least 8 hugs a day to maintain strong relationships. If you feel weird about hugging your colleagues at work, sav

It's a PUNtastic topic .  To start with the distribution it's common in Indians ( pathologically rich nation , that we are ) and Whites ( racist Dhingra ). Females are mostly affected but in India males predominate ( females are Pavitra savitris ) Age is 20-40 usually ( Yeh Jawani hai diwani) ( lol, I mean loud music) The disease doesnot occur alone it is associated with two other diseases ,( teen patti ) . When together for convenience they are given a name called Van der hoeve syndrome ( wonder huiwi ? 😜)  3 different organs are involved ear ,eye and bone ( bura dekha Ya kaha to haddi todh dungi ) blue sclera , otosclerosis and osteogenesis inperfecta.  Types  It's further divided into 3 types : 1. Stapedial OS : biscuit type - OVAL window and footplate of stapes is involved. Conductive deafness. 2. Cochlear type OS : SNHL . Round window & capsule involved.  3. Histological OS : symptomless . No hearing loss ( no idea why it is even classified . He is too illogical )

Optic neuritis is the cutest , the sweetest , the fantastic of the answers I have ever read so far ! ( not the condition though) It usually appears as long answer question , I so wish to have read this earlier with so much interest !  It hits your imagination in the most filmy way!  After a marathon of exclamations let me tell you what it is. It's nothing but a demylination & inflammatory disorder of optic nerve. Done? Cause? Most of the causes are termed as 1.idiopathic (in most of the diseases in the text book , easiest to write down) next is the second most common answer 2.heriditary , as I told you Its a demylination disorder lets name a disorder umm... 3. Multiple sclerosis! Next? Yes , some 4. Inflammatory conditions please , (fatal ones ) AIDS , syphilis , cat fever then? -Itis... got a clue? No? Any 5.infection you consider will cause inflammation . Name some. Chicken pox , whooping cough , glandular fever, measles and mummmps!  Tadaa Now the classification which I know

Hi. My Post seminar love for cornea is huge  I had like to share some with you all ! This is the last day of preparation of ophthalmology . Having wasted my time terribly all these days , I have discovered coolest ways of studying the subject !  Sigh. I wish I had done this earlier ... Here is some for you ... Have a nice day I had a fabulous one Alhamdulillah So far so much!

Hi. Stress is everywhere . So is the solution! In a perfect world, every day would be sunny, we’d never gain weight and our checkbooks would always balance. But instead, stuff happensand things don’t always go according to plan. Does that doom you to a day of misery? It doesn’t have to ? While we might not be able to change the situation, what we can do is change the way we  react  to it ! Woke up late ? Calm down during morning hours. you're calmly going about your routine, pull open your curtains: Exposure to bright light gears up your mood-enhancing serotonin. And—for some extra mood-boosting insurance—put the alarm on the other side of the room so you won’t be tempted to use the snooze function tomorrow. Late for college? Stuck in a traffic ? while it may seem cheesy, smile, even if you don’t feel like it. The effect is not only contagious, but the actual act of smiling and feeling your cheeks lift upward can fool you into feeling happy. Then pull over, call your office to let

Hi. "Ugh. I'm  depressed ." We've all said it, and even the most happy-go-lucky among us will have an occasional bout of the blues. Sometimes it's the big stuff that triggers it—like getting fired, losing a loved one, or splitting up with your spouse—but often enough, feeling low can come from things as simple as a  Grey's Anatomy  rerun, crappy weather, or a rough night's sleep. But does that mean you’re actually depressed? Not so fast. For most of us, these feelings come and go. But when sadness persists for more than two weeks and affects your ability to function at work, at home, or in other aspects of your life, you may have what's known as major, or clinical,  depression .  Depression doesn’t always look like debilitating sadness," Patients are reluctant to consider depression as a cause of their symptoms—in part because they may equate it with weakness, but also in part because they simply don’t associate those symptoms with depression.

Hi! There are 65 definition merely to define blindness . Like seriously ? This shows our so called World Health Organisation has some philosophers and MANY literature enthusiasts who show their prowess in jumbling words to form new definitions . The picture attached below highlights some serious issue. But who is donating? As a Muslim , I don't think I will. But some fatwas not many know about declare it legal in Islam shariat. There is a lot of counselling to be done at student level . Inspite of being a medical student , I am reluctant to this what about the rest?   The emphasis of medical schools should also be on serious issues like organ donation which many professors themselves are hesitant about.  No donation is promoted except for blood donation . That too is encouraged on the safe grounds , give it now - but it from your own body in a short span.  I would like to share about an incident with you , as you all have been VERY kind in bearing up with the post for so long . Not

Hi . Back again with a pile of some weird stuff. Diabetes .did you know? Shit I didn't .  Diabetes. The name is enough. Everybody knows what it is . How to control it.  I have a dozen blood relations suffering from diabetes mellitus. Every time they see a doctor , he tells them that the *sugar* has gone high . They give him a *sweet smile* ( Due to hyperglycaemia , I believe) stating , oh doctor , you know how it is ... I just can't refrain from rice , I have eaten it twice everyday throughout my life . Changing habits is difficult. (So is changing diapers, but people do!) They don't realise and mostly don't know what diabetes can cause . Harmful they know . But how much? The doctors thus don't take enough time to explain. Who cares? There are millions with the same disease .  Honestly , I knew about generalised lesions diabetes can cause like candidiasis et al but ocular lesions in specific is what I never knew. So did you? If you did , the blog ends here. The rest

A little calligraphy here and there never killed anybody but time.

Hi. Look at what I am studying today ,what I planned to rather. It's kind of embarassing , but I admit I learnt some very basic terms , I wish I had learnt earlier.  They don't belong to the Oxford dictionary nor to Dorlands medical dictionary. They were the very basic terms like 1. Gutta  Any guesses? Nothing to do with your guts or gut honey! That means eye drops! After being posted in opthalmology department for so long . I feel super embarrassed . 2. Ung Na na not dung . Let me give you a clue , oculenta. Guessed? No , you didn't . It means eye ointment!  3. Intracameral injection Where do you poke it? Hint : liquid goes in liquid) .  A simple question what are the other modes of adminstration of ocular drugs . 3 more , come on ! You know it... Gels ...yea..contact lens .. Great ... Soft contact lenses ... Bingo! Another one : the commonly used injection to achieve higher concentration and commonest route for anesthesia. Yo ! It's sub conjunctival and peribulbar res

Hi.  Like you cannot cure allergies . You can't cure stress . Their is somethingelse I do, suppress them! 1. Eat You are obviously thinking about how you are going to finish the jar full of yummies. 2. Sleep This way the most coward , but most effective one. 3.Family time Change your priority. Your sisters gossip is worth more than an exam. Your mums banter is way more precious. 4.Charity Feel the goodness . 5.Cook Something exotic . 6. Play Brain stimulating games not physically exhaustive ones. 7. Pray This does miracles! Kbye

Hi . My loyal people . With just one week to go for final exams, Wajju (me ,obviously ) has decided to take a chill pill . Why? 1.When studies take a toll on my health . I say if there is a mother , there is a child .   If there is healthy me , my education has a future . Because there is no use of a masters degree you earn after eight long years of hard work which leads you to the emergency room in less than a decade.  2. Health is paramount. Everest , Kilimanjaro or whatever you call it! That's the importance of health. If an topic takes away  your breakfast time from you , that's not worth it . Healthy is smarty . Smarty is Wealthy . Healthy is wealthy. 3. Don't worry about the marks judging you. They are going to be engraved like a dead corpse in some shelf of your cupboard. A week or more and nobody cares. Srk'a kids are proud of him, he is a drunkard , chain smoker , romances around with the girls . He earns enough, buys his kids enough . There is just no looking

Hello.  The elite of the world have set certain etiquettes for the rest of the world to follow. Like the military people should be aggressive, the rich can be coy , the poor have to be hardworking . Centuries have passed , but the society is yet to accept dual qualities in a person like a lazy coy lad , a hardworking charming janitor etc. There are certain etiquettes and characters they had categorised for a doctor . Like stressed still well dressed. Calm and Kaam .  Angry yet Smiling. Things have changed. People have even begun to accept stray dogs , fighting for animal rights . But accepting a hot , young grumpy  angry doctor is far from reality. So , for youth of my generation who are aggressive , frustrated , lethargic patience is a quality they relate to some ancient mythological character . The odd doctors face rejection from the older lot due to their impatient behaviour. They just don't understand that we are raised that way . Patience is just not our cup of tea. We don'

Hi! Even MK Gandhi was not pestered with a responsibility like this . Like what? Method of digging bore hole latrine. Anyways , bore hole latrines those days were way too posh . It was the age of service sewage. Remember Harijans? Back to the pavilion ,  I so wish I could teach this to a Mason and get some toilets made for women! Something is better than nothing ,you see.  Funny way . Step 1 : take an auger (Bob the builder 😉) Step 2 : stand with two legs at 45 degrees from each other Step 3 : draw a circle around your self ( diameter is now 13 inches)  Step 4 : dig it 25 feet deep (Manorama 6feet under , heard about it?) Step 5:  cover it with a squat plate Step 6 : add foot rest to it for obvious reasons Step 7 :when the shitty contents are 20" below the ground level (visible apparently) Step 8 : cover the shit .  Step 9 : reuse the squatting plate ( poor country India is ) Step 10 : search for a new house oops latrine ! Kbye!

Hola!  My ardent readers . I appreciate your patience for reading stuff which majority unabashedly hates but refuses to change. The picture of the day :-  Yaay! Lovely ain't it?  Yuck! But we doctors study this . We are asked about this not only in the theory exams but also in viva.  The examiner : what are the methods of excreta disposal? We sing it aloud , rap(e) it a little... There are two main types Sewered and unsewered ting ting Unsewered is of three types la la la Service when you have somebody to clean your poop  Non service that you and me use everyday  Temporary latrines for camps that I haven't used anyway  Non service is also known as sanitary latrine It is again of five types A Bore and a Pit that has Septic  Aqua and a Waterseal Waterseal is Sulabh so people PRAI (pray) that they find one in emergency because RCA is not everywhere! It's bad I know . But memorising it is worst.  What annoys me the most is w

The first one being the psychosocial effects of improperly constructed house.  Here is an abstract from Park stating that people staying multi storied buildings have effects like isolation , neurosis and behavioural disorders . I so wish people thought a little before  they printed such books which are for student consumption.  It's a fact that students mug up anything for the cost of marks like sine square theta + cos square Theta = 1 . But there are frustrated beings like me who question everything .  So , Saint park advices you to rent a ground floor to avoid neurotic disorders.even if you have to pay 2000 bucks more than you pay for your apartment on sixth floor. Let alone the mental pressure of paying ₹2000 extra you will have a disturbed sleep . Why? The footsteps of your neighbours on first floor and above won't let you have a good night's sleep. By the way Good night!

Hello there ! A sarcastic , frustrated , an esoteric doctor here. To make the matter appear simple , I would be posting , the most non-sense stuff ever written in the books of medicine. The ironies , and some of my day to day experiences.  You may find a vacuum after some successive blogs , that might be due to my commitment with my half decade old blog named : waveofimagination.blogspot.com Do give it a read. That is less sarcastic with more of verbiage and poetry plus loads of advices! After having a low profile blog , I thought to shift to a signature blog a little. Stay tuned Till then  Adios
