DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hello people We are all learners from Womb to Tomb , since I am done with my not so wow exam . I decided not only to let my mind learn new things but also brush on things I already know. The free course from Stanford is something I stumbled upon.  Why Honestly, I enrolled because it was from The Stanford University of Medicine. It seemed like a well paced course. It's always great to be prepared before the third wave 🌊 hits the shores.    Duration My experience has been good. Having completed my residency and working in the pandemic I found the difficulty decent. It took me about a week to complete. I didn't want to rush through the course as I didn't want to lose the essence. In between shifts and other curious activities. If you're ON it day and night you can complete it in 2 days. I watched the video on 2x.  Who all can take it ?  All healthcare workers . Doctor s , nurses and paramedical staff. Works better if you're dealing with COVID 19 patients. Fresh gradua

Hello everybody  I'm back yet again with an innocent encounter that I'd like to share ! You can call us as the withdrawal writing because I've been away from my blog for quite a long time and now I can't stop!  My blogs about emergency medicine have a decent exposure making me "go to person" to anybody who is interested to join emergency medicine. This blog is one of such conversation I have had. A friend of mine connected me to her cousin who wanted to join emergency medicine .She said her cousin was quite interested in emergency medicine and thought I would be the right person to help and guide her. I might not be the best person but I do whatever I can to help her , I reassured her. The Fresh med school pass out had just started her internship. I immediately started explaining her the options she can opt non-stop for about a minute and then I realized she was puzzled.  I realized I was too fast and went back to the ABC approach.I would found t

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

Hello people! Long time, no see !probably because I was slogging for this exam for 2 -3months now. That huge hiatus because this would be the third time I was attempting this exam. That zeal you have when you want something really bad and do it or die kind of feel. " Okay, I'm going to do it no matter what... Everything is secondary this is the priority I'm looking for.  Everything else in the world is a distraction.  All my plans after 14th September." Well ,the world kept going , The days went on rolling my plans kept postponing.  I don't know if it's just me or if anybody else in the world thinks this way that you know you live your life no matter what and the very next moment you like all I'm going to do is study for this exam and nothing else is going to matter. The hypocrisy  we have with our mind of what is to be done and what not is to be done. So yes the obvious reason why I'm being philosophical is because my exam hasn't been
