Odd doctor out

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't read the entire lot from the newspaper .

We are taught to be ourselves . Asking us to be patient is like asking us to change our personality altogether .

Money matters , may be a little less because we get it easy these days . So please don't ask me you won't earn enough , because there are dozens of opportunities waiting for us.
 
So far so much 
Bye

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...
