ERDiaries : Kalma Parh Dijiye !

Madam , Aap unke kaan me Kalma Parh Dijiye , Please !

- a young man requested me , even before I stepped into the ER . I had no clue what he was talking about , who he was.

At the entrance itself I see the entire ER team trying to resuscitate a lady . After about 13 months I saw a collapsed human. I was not scared but puzzled . I placed my bag . Stood there clueless. The team was handling it like a pro and I had no idea how to contribute .

The head nurse enquired who I was . We didn’t happen to meet on my Day 1 in ER. The Resident Doctor Dr. Waheeja ? ( Name Killed. It’s ok . Quite used to it .)

Yes sir .

Done with BLS class.

Yes sir . I said hesitantly ( 9 months ago.)

He asked me to join the team . The nursing team gave me a death stare after seeing my CPR attempts . It seemed like a massage . I don’t know what went wrong with my muscle power . My attempts were nothing close to How CPR is done . I tried to threaten my brain . Brush down my anxiety . Bury my panic mode . Nothing worked. I totally sympathise with ladies on maternity leave (9 months ) . It takes time to get back to work zone .

The young man appeared in the ER again . He saw me trying to resuscitate and repeated , aap kalma please Parh Dijiye . The entire ER team looked at me puzzled .

You know him? What did he just say?

I gave a blank expression. Even before I could reply , they went back to 30:2 .

To people who don’t know what it means . This is the last sentence every Muslim wishes to pray on his death bed , it means :

La ilah illaAllah Muhammad rasoolAllah means

(Translation: 'There is absolutely no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammed (saws) is the Messenger of Allah.')

So he basically wanted me to read it for her.

After 40 minutes of CPR we could not revive the patient . We lost her .

The OH SO DUMB ! Stare by the paramedics diminished after my 0 years 0 months of work experience was revealed . Meanwhile , I had a moment of silence for all the Cool , fantastic things I had learnt during my internship. How did they just disappear , did the 9 months of nothingness rot them all or it was sheer panic that left me miserable.

After enough introspection , I came to a conclusion that panic kills it all.

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.

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.

Just like when you were a teen and all your comfortable clothes would no longer fit.
