Latrine anthem #spm


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 we are asked about it instead of prevention of major diseases. Which is neither asked in exams nor in the viva. 
These books should be of use to people  seeking a government job in municipal corporation.
Adios for now!

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

Parallel Universe : BCT Series XXX

  Two moments in the ED this week made me realize that I come from a parallel universe. One involved a teenage patient who had applied bronzer that I found while cleaning her skin for a IV cannula which left me surprised as I come from a part of the world where teenagers paint their skin with whitening agents to look more attractive. The second moment was during my teaching session on Organophosphorous poisoning, where I wondered if my accent was causing disengagement . However, I learned that it was simply a rare presentation of organophosphorous poisoning in this part of the world. It felt like I was narrating my adventures from a tropical trek! Have you ever had a moment where your cultural background clashed with your environment ?

Undermining in ED - A common sight

Hi all This us again not an original article written by me. but found this article too good, not to reshare. Ill share the link to the orginal article at the end of the post. Having seen this in and out of department since day 1 of working in corporate hospital , felt nice as I found more literature on this topic. I am yet to study in detail about it. A gist of articles and tools you can use to make your or your colleagues life easy.  I would be surprised if you told me that you've never seen or experienced it at some point of your career.But we can work towards making the life easier for our colleagues just by acknowledging it. It happens in the ED , ICU , wards everywhere.   Being a healthcare professional is about lifelong learning, and occasionally getting things wrong. We have a duty to provide feedback to colleagues about this and take on board feedback ourselves. Sometimes when feedback is given, with the intention of improving competence and confidence ov...
