DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hey all, Sharing a Rather funny incident today!  A 20 something girl walked into the ER with 45 something man . Both seemed healthy and fit. I enquired who the patient was.She asked me if Gynaecologist was available. I was replied No, am an ER physician. Tell me your problem . May be I can help you with it if it’s acute ? You won't find a Gynaecologist at this hour. She starts, See I have itchy vagina. For a few days now. I enquired about the discharge,  Odour ,Blood and all. All had a negative answer .Meanwhile the man looked like a father figure to her , but you never know . So I asked her who he was. She was burping out anything and everything without hesitation which is VERY RARE irrespective of your race and nationality, whatever be your religion or culture to talk about your personal details in your parents presence. She continues Whenever I itch I am feeling horny. I thought I heard it wrong, I asked her twice , thrice . HORNY she says loudly.  Um

Heyyyya! There was this 60yr old man . Fever  cough and weight loss history  On hemodialysis history I ask him routine questions... Fever  ? Cough   ? Intermittent ? Body pains  ? Chest pain ? difficulty in breathing  ? Urine me jalan hai kya ? N he is like  Madam , main dialysis pe hu... merko urine Nai aata ! I was in this awkward face palm situation blabbering senselessly like a pet parrot! This made me feel like a fool to be honest. I rush home zero down to hemodialysis . Read about it like it’s the last day on the planet and if I don’t read it today. The death angel will take me nowhere but hell! Because the patients on hemodialysis constituted good number of cases reporting tonER in pulmonary edema and altered sensorium. The only thing that would give respite to them was hemodialysis. Rest all was temporary management. Read about how important asking about fistula is !  It’s like a second heart frankly. You don’t touch it . Yo

 Hey all! It’s strange but I find myself in midst of situational comedy most of the time . Here is another funny instance. I examine a patient. Report the findings to my senior to  - Sir , There is a sound net apical lobe. It’s neither a crepitus nor a wheeze. He turned around as asked , what do you think it is? Puzzled , I said , pata nai aisa sound suni nai 😂 kabhi. He asked me to examine again. I did the same . Told the same findings. Are you sure it’s from the lungs? Yes , apical lobe . Sure? He laughed and said. That’s a murmur ! My reaction 🤦‍♀️ What the mind doesn’t know, an ear doesn’t hear.  So far so much

Serious stuff Note: Such incidents are a common thing for people from Day 1 of your housejob. You never know what threat you’d be exposed to. Our condition to be honest is worse than soldiers. Soldiers atleast know that they’d die on war . A bomb is expected at the border or a bullet on field. They die an instant death . We are just unaware! Somebody may just knock your door one fine day stating look my mother is really sick , help me out . It’s an emergency. You roll over your sleeves . Manage the case . Only to find the reports stating positivity to viral markers. Better keep yourself vaccinated to hepatitis B atleast . Hep C and HIV we just can’t help! A similar episode happened . An ERPhysician from another hospital walked in to inform us that he was leading an ambulance. A patient is supposed to arrive. He had done CPR on insistence of the family. He was having his meal when the call for help came. He just had to leave everything and go. His resuscitation attempts faile
