DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hey there, pals! Get ready to join me on a journey filled with hilarity, mishaps, and some good-natured self-deprecation. It's the story of how I, an ED doc turned Quality Improvement Fellow, stumbled my way through Excel and MS Teams like a lovable goofball. 🤣🏥💻  I'm here to take you on a journey filled with laugh-out-loud moments, facepalms, and a lot of humble pie. The Excel Expedition: Navigating the Spreadsheet Jungle Imagine a doctor who's usually all about stethoscopes and prescriptions suddenly being thrown into the wild world of Excel. Those cells and formulas might as well have been from another galaxy! I swear, the numbers had a secret pact to make me feel like an absolute rookie. MS Teams: The Virtual Carnival of Chaos Now, MS Teams was like a virtual carnival, and I was the clown who occasionally forgot to put on their big shoes. Back-to-back meetings felt like an endurance test, and sometimes I'd pop into a meeting incognito because I'd forgotten to

Hello again, fellow adventurers!   Today, I'm taking you on a journey from my initial terror of pediatrics to becoming a relatively more confident pediatric ED doctor. 🚑🧒🏥 Pediatrics: The Ultimate Nightmare As someone who had previously worked exclusively in the adult Emergency Department, the thought of dealing with pediatric cases sent shivers down my spine. It was like being thrown into a realm of medicine where my common sense seemed to vanish faster than a magician's rabbit. 🎩🐇 My first pediatric shift was nothing short of a nightmare. I felt like a fish out of water, struggling to swim in a sea of tiny patients with big, soulful eyes.  A Horrible Start, But a Heartwarming Reception Let's not sugarcoat it – I was horrible. The pediatric ED consultant, bless their heart, and the nurses must have wondered what they had gotten themselves into. My lack of confidence and knowledge was painfully evident. But here's where the magic happened – they didn't let me d

Hello all, Inspired by my colleagues in the QI team use principles of QI in daily life, I have tried to put in my health Journey into a driver diagram. .

Hey there, Welcome to the part three of Boot Camp series transformation. Buckle up because I'm about to take you on a rollercoaster ride through my journey as an immigrant doctor in the UK. Imagine this as your backstage pass to the ups, downs, and everything in between. The Wild Ride : So, picture this: In my head, I believed I had a decent command of the English language. In fact, back in my hometown, people would often say, "Wow, you speak English so well!" Little did I know, that compliment was about to be flipped on its head when I landed in the UK So, there I was, fresh off the boat (well, plane, but you get the idea), all set to conquer the UK as an immigrant doctor. The first clue came when I had to navigate the London Underground, where every station announcement sounded like it was in a different dialect altogether. Accents that I'd only heard in Hollywood movies were now part of my daily life. My confidence? Well, well, well... I hail from a place where Eng

Hello people In this installment of the Boot Camp Transformation (BCT) Series, I'm excited to share an experience that has made me reevaluate some of my own behaviors and attitudes. It all started with a seemingly mundane act – holding the door open for a stranger, a choice I had never made before. But what prompted this unexpected shift in my actions, and what did it teach me about the impact of small gestures on our lives? Breaking My Comfort Zone Let me preface this by saying that I've never been one to engage in what some might call "chivalrous" acts, such as holding doors open for others. It's not that I was consciously against it; it just wasn't something I typically did. However, as I continued my journey in the United Kingdom, I began to notice something peculiar – strangers were often holding doors open for me. At first, I didn't think much of it, but as it continued to happen, I realized that it made me feel genuinely cared for and appreciated. I
