That's never going to happen!

Hello people

Just a rant today , as usual to escape my fear of missing out. Here is a blog for you.

Age 15 :
Friend : How about taking Science as major after 10th grade.
I : Just forget it! I love history. I am going to do my majors in either history or political science.
Friend : Why not a doctor?

I : Too much of study man! Look at my handwriting ! Its terrible! I am yelled at by every teacher here for my untidy handwriting and diagrams. Science? Forget it!

1 year later ... Lands up in Biology major!

Age 17
Lecturer : I think you'll make it into M.B.B.S.

I : Laughs ! It takes 18 hours of study . Lot of hardwork . 5 and a half year of study. M.B.B.S. ( Medicine) Its never going to happen! I want to be a dentist. Sorted Life.

Lecturer : I don't know about all that. But see , you'll make it to Medicine.

1 year later ... Lands up in a Medical college.

Age 22 :
My groupies and I discussing about future aspects like life , future career plans.
One : I want pediatrics. I am going to study really hard . In fact , I have to start preparing in some time now
Two : I want a post graduate seat . I have started making notes for that. I got to crack it.
Three : Lets see ... then and there.
I : Laughs as usual. I have no future plans. Post graduation? forget it! That's never going to happen! I am not going to slog for a PG seat , or in any residency.
Them : Then what are you going to do?
I : I don't know. There is not one subject that has excited me to an extent, that I work hard to get it.
Two : I know what she'll do
Us : What?

Two : She will chose a branch that none from our batch will . It will be a lucrative one . I don't know what it will be . But definitely not , medicine , pediatrics or obstetrics. Could be transfusion medicine or something that hasn't been explored much. As much as I know her she is curious, she'll land up in relatively new field.

2 years later : Joins emergency medicine, has a ball working.

I smile when these things strike my mind. Never say never!

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.
