Hilarious Adventures with MS Teams: A Quality Improvement Comedy : BCT Series V


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 switch on my camera. Trying to introduce myself all professionally made me feel like I was auditioning for a sitcom!

Accents and Accidental Comedy

As if that wasn't enough, I had to become an accent detective. Conversations felt like a game of "Spot the Accent," and let's just say, I had my fair share of comedic misunderstandings. Nodding, smiling, and hoping for the best became my go-to strategy.

From Blunders to Brief Brilliance

But wait, it gets even better! Over time, I went from being a fumbling mess to becoming a planning ninja. I'd whip up agendas for meetings like I was crafting the ultimate treasure map and stick to them with unwavering determination. It was a comedy montage in the making!

From Blunders to... Well, Slightly Fewer Blunders

Today, I can confidently say that I plan meetings, host them, and yes, I still trip over the occasional digital banana peel. But that's okay because I've come a long way from my Excel nightmares. I'm in a better place than I ever thought possible, and it's all because I learned to embrace the quirks, laugh at the challenges, and find joy in the silliness of it all.

So, there you have it, my wonderful pals – the tale of an ED doc's comical escapades in the world of Excel and MS Teams. Remember, even in the midst of chaos, there's always room for a good laugh and a hearty dose of humility. 😄📊🎉

The UK has made me so conscious about my English, that I use GPT to filter my blogs!

So far so much!

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.
