16 Life Goals Of A Medico @ 22

Heyyyaa!
Final year . Heading towards 22nd year of existence . Goals ?Definitely the ones below :


1) Be a sponge

Learn everything about my clinicals and theory. Do everything I can to be the most knowledgeable person in the room.

2) Travel often

Take every possible medical conference and organisation while I am still an undergraduate while on the road, watch and grasp Learning how to travel efficiently is not a luxury as your career progresses, it’s expected. Plus, you never know what adventures you’ll have, people you’ll meet, or life lessons you’ll gain.


3) Think globally

Study different languages like Arabic , Hindi , Telugu , Kannada , Persian ,Malyalam and Tamil and then I rule the world ; understand how people work across the globe.


4) Never say ‘no'

Take on any project that will progress my  knowledge , confidence and experience; better yet, seek them out. Be proactive. Be positive. And most of all, be a team player.

5) Be collaborative

You don’t always have to be a ‘bull in a china shop.’ It isn't what I accomplish, it was how it was accomplished that is remembered.Hence the lazy bums are on a rise these days .

6) Find a mentor

To Seek out someone who sees potential in me and can help me navigate my career. Be organized and thoughtful with this person.


7) Therapist 

To learn to differentiate between a mentor and a therapist is another task because with the typical human lady nature we tend to *roast and cook up * people's minds and they think twice before talking to us as they are inviting our 2 hour raga in exchange of the 2 minutes of mentor ship. 
But then crying your heart loud before anybody and everybody is a big no no . Flush out those toxic thoughts to people who can eliminate or control them rather than the house flies (vectors) who leave the toxic bits on every station they visit.


8) Balance

When we make time for activities outside of college, we end up being more productive while in the college . The books become interesting , because we don't load the same things over again and again. We tend to utilise college hours effectively rather than merely following a routine.

 
9) Get out of your comfort zone

I don't stray out of my comfort zone regularly. And I realize now I should have. Being uncomfortable actually makes us a smarter worker. We find the easiest ways to get things done . The 10 hour halt on the same lesson is not in any more . You learn time management .


10) Pick your role wisely

In full disclosure, I borrowed this advice from a doctor .
Women: Donot take an assistant position, unless it’s your dream job. Once you’re an assistant, it’s incredibly difficult to change that perception to peers and superiors. But our profession is not so cliche... We evolve day by day.

11) Stop bragging
About my lazy lad life and accomplishments.
Attempt to be the bigger person.
Rise to the occasion and be nice to everyone. Never burn bridges. What goes around comes around and it will always bite you in the ass.Learnt it . Application time. 


12) My brand
Because brand is everything . There is always a standard you have to maintain . There is no rumor that can beat that reputation.
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.”


13) Charity
- not to be disclosed -


14) Spiritual Upliftment


15) Starting an awareness scheme

16) Business start-up

Okay then . 
So far so much .

MRCEM OSCE preparation and resources

Hello people Since I have cleared my OSCE in one go, I feel it's my duty to journal what all I have done to make it work.(humble brag).Thanks to ChatGPT for helping me pile up some humble generic sentence to make this blog wholesome.(Just kidding). 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. A 50 years plus old gentleman ,presented to the emergency with the complaints of chest pain radiating to left arm , breathing difficulty, choking sensation in the throat, inability to open his ey

Professional Growth Spurts in EM

Hey all Once you're done with your residency . Things appear differently. Some people have a distant vision about such things while some realise at the moment. Nevertheless, the struggle is more or less the same. Remember going through growth spurts as a child? The too-short pant legs were embarrassing, but the achy limbs and joints made it miserable. Just like when you were a teen and all your comfortable clothes would no longer fit. These are tough adjustments “growing pains,” and they can throw your career way off its trajectory if you aren’t prepared to face them. While moving out of your parent institution is great, not everything is sunshine and roses. You can experience these growth spurts fast or slow. Some people are lucky enough to choose the pace. Some people have no choice but to give in. Confusion , Reduced morale, Unclear priorities , A decrease in productivity is very common.Sudden changes from one organization to another organization can lead to discomfo
