ER Diaries: Kidney Zoned Doctors

We were nagged . We are going to nag you , flog you . Why ?  Legacy . 

Some senior doctors have this kind of attitude. But there has to be a way to channel out their frustration. Some smoke and drink to do the same . Sometimes that isn’t just enough and some don’t do anything. Where does the negativity drain?

It drains down to the junior most resident. It’s an unwritten bond every junior medical resident  in the medical field  across the world has signed up while joining residency. 

Some try to combat . Some give a deaf ear . Some shed a tear . All they wait is for the end of their residency or atleast joining of their junior. Because hey! They also have to channelise their stress out of their body.

I find it a little weird when I read people leaving the job because they ain’t able to cope with this.

How I deal with this ?
Honestly I find it very funny. 
There are times I get offended . 
There are times I feel guilty when I realise I am at fault.

The rest of the nagging, I laugh it out.
A comicathon begins to run in my limbic system.
I begin to visualise the shouting senior in funniest outfits , or squeaky voices , or get beaten up by their spouses or wait I can’t type everything.

The other day one of my friend was very frustrated. 

Consultants are damn rude man! They insult you like it’s the last day of the world. We’ve just joined . We mess up. They burst up. There are pin prick bomb blasts . Passing
Mbbs is a survival stunt . People study to survive the storm . Not to conquer the subject. These people think we should know A to Z of medicine as we passed MBBS. 

I calmed my friend down.

I asked my friend to augment the Detoxification process of the body. 
Human body has the most amazing organs.
The heart and Brain make bonds while The Liver and Kidney trash the accessory matter.

We have young kidney and liver dude!
Alcohol gold silver everything gets detoxified and excreted
Insults are like kheer 
You don’t get offended
You enjoy them 
Like a dessert after the meal
They are very entertaining if you dare to think out of the box .

The only things you should take to your heart is your food , sleep .
Your success or your failures nothing should go up to your head .
They are like ammonia or urea,
They create altered mental status. Beware!

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
