1 year in Emergency Medicine : 15 months -15 Lessons

Hey people, No , I am not Baba Ranchodhdas Chancha bragging. These are little things I learnt in first year of my residency.I've been post poning this post like my wedding plans. But this blog at least will see daylight! Here it goes 1)Don't dwell on your short comings Unless its a skill and you're thinking of ways to improvise on it. 2)A good patient remains to be a good patient unless handed over the bill. I see . Stabilise a patient. Patient is up for discharge. they're polite , thank me. I Write down the charges . Send the attendant to the billing, and quietly wait for the after effects! BAM! the rant starts! Aapne kiya kya? Man ! I made your sick kin my priority, treated him over everybody else when your consultant was busy treating the prebooked 20 cases and had no time for your kin as you landed uninformed from space! I got the entire Xray machine in the ER for your kin when the entire radiology department was with non emergent cases.
