Foolishly Isshmart citizens #Coronaera

Hey people,

Post All Fools Day , I don't think there is a better topic to talk about in the Corona Era! Every doctor who is working in emergency is facing these what I call "foolishly issmart attendants".

Who are they?

They are citizens of India mostly or non citizens of India who are paranoid of corona virus. They are divided in all states , all religions , all economic backgrounds.

What do they do?

Roam around the country, do mass gathering , celebrate festivals , parties incessantly giving a deaf ear to the warning of pandemic. They take it like cheating on a diet or their routine medication.

Why are they annoying ?

They come to hospitals , hide or lie about the most important symptoms because of various reasons. Be it travel history , fever , cough . Eventually expose more people .

Why are they foolish?

They think eventually doctors would not know , blood work up will not show , examination will be missed. They don't understand the magnitude of trouble they're inviting to themselves and the country.

Why do they do this?

The f factor . The fear to be isolated, the fear to be left aloof . The fear to be separated from loved one and not see them. The fear of contracting infection if they don't have one.

How do we handle? We are trying more ways and means...

Any good inputs are always welcome!

Rest of the space is yours!

So far so much!

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. 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.
