ER Diaries: Making fool of yourself

My life and cupboards are parallel these days , both messed up. I have no clue how to organise it! I am usually bursting out with things to say. I forget entire universe with opinions stays with me. I miss out on perspective I  could get. All the things I  could know if only I stopped and listened. The maturity to differentiate between a personal attack and constructive criticism is still in progress .Unless you come in terms with the fact that you’re going to make fool of yourself in ER and that it shouldn’t be taken seriously , life will be crazy.  I try to find humour in the embarrassment instead. If I don’t , life begins to appear longer than it is. I feel instead of crying on old mistakes. I often try new things and make new mistakes. I have learnt to own up to the mess I make. And you know what , that’s the first sign of adulthood! Yaayie! Grown up. Taking responsibility for screw ups ,ambitions and things you want it’s liberating an

ER Diaries: Kidney Zoned Doctors

I find it a little weird when I read people leaving the job because they ain’t able to cope with this. How I deal with this ?

ER Diaries: Finding a groom - The struggle is real

Why did you land up here?  People are scared to take a step further! I want you to write the entrance one more time and get lost from this field  !  I spoke to a lady for matrimony purpose and she cut me down saying Emergency Medicine ? This a demanding field! Just take a Paraclinical subject and SETTLE down.  - My Mother said. Some more Free Me Time . I laugh as I breathe heartily before my mom runs behind me with her belan!  Dust settles down. I don’t ! Cutting down the cliche crap . Some serious fodder down here: While common marriage advice holds that a person should place his or her marriage above all else, doctors  often don't. Living with this reality often requires a lot of patience! Patience these days is like biryani takes a lot of efforts and wait !  The healthcare  is a cross section of our society, and just as in any other community, there are always promiscuous men and women. The type of work doctors deal with tend to attract partners th
