Compare - Despair

Hello!
Exams done. Results are declares . Had enough parties . Came out of Hangover . What next ?
In medical schools or whichever place of work you are in . The urge to compare is forever. We scream out loud that I am me  , I love the way I am . I am my superhero and what not ! But the end of the day , the same person posts ... My father my hero . My favourite author etc etc . This means somewhere down the line you have somebody you look upto . I know this is a totally different playground , but then plants grow when the soil is fertile and enough water . The same way comparison are human .

Comparisons !
Comparison is the thief of joy ! Assessing any area of our lives with our friends , family, stranger or beloveds life is irrelevant and the main ingredient of greed paneer and unhappiness masala! 
There is always a whisper or a yell in my head, Look what they have ... I must be a worthless piece of nothing .
The whispers are very mean ... I always ask them to go ... I maintain a gratitude list but those whispers get the hint and act at the weakest of the moments . 
you
My small inner voice – it’s always there, it changes shape but it really knows where to hurt .
The voice is like a zombie , a loud mouthed vendor , or a ever burpy person.

Way out of it ?
Find a real live voice, in the form of a therapist, who could help me to directly challenge the mean one in my head.

Sometimes the demons temporarily shout louder because you are close to defeating them.
 So far so much 
Promising some fun stuff next time
Your ever chirpy 
Doctor to be -
Wajeeha

The MRCEM OSCE exam is an integral part of the qualification which tests the clinical and communication skills of candidates. For Indian students pursuing this qualification, preparing for the MRCEM OSCE exam may seem daunting. However, with a few tips that helped me sail through fine. The thing that helped me the most is acclimatizing myself to the UK Clinical Setting Before appearing for the MRCEM OSCE exam, it is imperative for Indian students to understand the clinical setting in the UK. Sometimes , all they want to see is how you behave , your body language, your tone , and your organising skills. Diagnosis is not a critical thing here. You will not fail if you get a wrong diagnosis provided that you have done it systematically. So

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody  I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done.  Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care.
