Bachi Kaali Hogayi !

Hello there!

Hope this week is treating you well !
Me ? I've been doing things , going places keeping my sleep at stake . Chronic insomniac that I am , it did nothing much except for paying guest on my face " My Dark Circles".


After having done some tedious night shifts I reach home tired , tanned . I see guests home. I go meet them up formally.

The first dialogue ,

" Arere , Bachchi kaali hogayi."


Trust me, this was the first time a comment on my appearance didn't bother me much. I smiled at them. My eyes were really tired after tedious shift . I spoke a few words . Jumped to my favorite corner of the house lazing around doing nothing.

There was a part of my teenage when appearance mattered it sort of reduced in early twenties.That part I would shed tear when my close ones would make fun of my appearance. In mid twenties, I don't even care.

These days I carry my dark circles like a soldier carries his war wounds and bullet marks . 


Damn , I've worked hard whole night ,  Saving not less than 4 lives at a  time with my team. The free advices to relieve discomfort and the other stable cases are out of count.Your opinion about how it is affecting my appearance will be the last thing  I would care about, may be when I am clipping my nails or so?

People want a girl who is a doctor. Who treats cold and cough, diabetes and hypertension , ooh yes ! assists deliveries. Bloodshed , cardiac arrests ... girls should stay out of critical cases like these. Ugh!!! Paradox! You want your girls to excel but not want them to handle life threatening emergencies. Mob mentality in the localities is what scares them.

As you grow older , you realize with the knowledge you have attained putting in years of studying and the impact you can make in lives of people who are between life and death . Your appearance , sleep seem to be the last thing you care about . The knowledge you have gained and the awareness you can spread in minds of people , the disability it can prevent ... resting at home will no longer seem a luxury.

You just want to be out there. Doing anything and everything. Be it saving lives , teaching to save lives , learning, spreading optimism.

So far so much
Thank you!

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
