DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hello! Exams done. Results are declares . Had enough parties . Came out of Hangover . What next ? In medical schools or whichever place of work you are in . The urge to compare is forever. We scream out loud that I am me  , I love the way I am . I am my superhero and what not ! But the end of the day , the same person posts ... My father my hero . My favourite author etc etc . This means somewhere down the line you have somebody you look upto . I know this is a totally different playground , but then plants grow when the soil is fertile and enough water . The same way comparison are human . Comparisons ! Comparison is the thief of joy ! Assessing any area of our lives with our friends , family, stranger or beloveds life is irrelevant and the main ingredient of greed paneer and unhappiness masala!  There is always a whisper or a yell in my head, Look what they have ... I must be a worthless piece of nothing . The whispers are very mean ... I always ask them to go ... I maintain a gratit

Hi people , After a cascade of boring post . This one is straight from my heart and life . Honor yourself for taking a risk, leaning into your discomfort, or just showing up when you really wanted to curl up on the couch at home. You can’t control the outcomes, so praise yourself for putting in the effort and you’ll continue to stay motivated! Many of life’s important outcomes have an element of luck or uncertainty. We can control what we do, but we can’t control market forces or what other people decide.  You may speak up for yourself and get criticism and pushback, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you've done something wrong.  Our brains naturally go to the negative because they are  protection-focused , rather than promotion-focused. To overcome this  bias , you need to deliberately focus on the positives in a situation.  So far so much 

Hello Result time is blog time . Thought to put this down. The world, seriously, revolves around your academics in medicine . You slog and slave away for those few measly number  for one whole year . One long, long year . And once the mark sheet finally arrives? There's no joy like it! Unless you get through. It's more like a biryani! The  biryani  takes forever to cook. But the feeling when you take the first bite and all those flavours and spice pop in your mouth... that feeling cannot be described. Every student knows the pains of exams and the weeks leading up to it. You cannot sleep in peace, eat in peace or even watch TV/click selfies in peace as everyone from your teachers to your parents are breathing fire down your neck. But the moment you exit that examination hall... Bliss!  that feeling... Oh that feeling! Ladder is Declining ! The first year in medicine , I scored 66% that was so fulfilling. Next year 60 . This year 56% . But ladies and gentlemen , relativity count

To help you identify this rare breed -- in yourself, as well -- this is how genuine people behave.  Here is an article from the fortune magazine! They don’t seek attention.  They don’t need constant reinforcement of their own ego. Where attention seekers have a hole that constantly needs to be filled, genuine people are already filled with self-confidence and self-awareness. They’re not concerned with being liked.  The need to be liked is born of insecurity and narcissism. It creates a need to manipulate your own and other’s emotions. Confident and authentic people are simply themselves. If you like them, fine. If not, that’s fine, too. They can tell when others are full of it.  Perhaps naïve folks can be easily fooled, but genuine people are not naïve. They’re grounded in reality and that gives them a baseline from which they can tell when things don’t add up. There’s a big difference.  They are comfortable in their own skin.   Most of us struggle with that. As Henry David Thoreau obs

Heyyyy! Our Pediatrics outpatient department has been flooded with cases everyday . Special cases . Why special? Because we (medicos) get to learn from them . Not just the medication .  We talk to them . Take a detailed history . Touch the infants . Feel their respiration . Their skull. Look for unfused bones . All this is an endearing phenomena . The attachment you develop with the baby minutes after you auscultation the heart rate and observe the heart beat is enormous.  I also love the order in which we are posted in the respective departments . Gynecology , obstetrics , Pediatrics , Surgery and Medicine. It's like looking at the human grow step by step.  The OPD had a handful of cases of rickets other than the regular diarrhoea and fever . So , I thought to give it a read from my textbook of Pediatrics.  While I was reading the various types of rockets I stumbled upon trousseau and Chvostek sign. Ok BuhBye!

Hello people I am back again . Blame it on the vacation guys! Insomnia got me here today. Today , I am rather euphoric but would like to bring out the health damages , that I had observed in fellow medical students. 1. Cuts To start on a lighter note since the anatomy dissection hall , haematology blood prick stunts in both physiology and  pathology. The one below is the cut, I succumbed to while trying to turn my Davidson. Little though , it hurts . Which faculty , except the defence services lends their DNA just for the sake of some count. 2. Dark circles  No , the 20 something girls don't have inch deep and wide dark circles . Not throughout the year, atleast . Unless they have a baby to look after or a 11-7am job , young ladies have bright eyes and complexion. The irregular cycles of sleep , either due to the exams or due to the exams again! Now that it's a routine , we never mind watching a movie or two during that time . 3. Acne The constant stress leads to dehydration or

Hey In medicine , you grow everyday because you Learn a new thing everyday. The peculiar thing I stumbled on while beginning to start central nervous system is : What is it ? Watch this video ... From the link below to know more ! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Ebk5Yv1Ns The palmomental reflex, an involuntary contraction of the mentalis muscle of the chin caused by stimulation of the thenar eminence, can be tested easily and rapidly. Its presence may alert the clinician to the possibility of cerebral pathology. However, the reflex is often present in normal people and may be absent in disease states. Testing merely for the presence or absence of the reflex therefore lacks both specificity and sensitivity. A strong, sustained, and easily repeatable contraction of the mentalis muscle, which can be elicited by stimulation of areas other than the palm, is more likely to indicate cerebral damage. Bye !

Hola!  Being posted in Pediatrics I have some slides that should probably help you ... The toughest thing in Pediatrics is the immunisation schedule and the developmental milestone ... Once you are done with it ... That is it! I googled out some interesting charts , that may help ! Ok bye ! So far so much!

Hello fellas ! Today started with a strong determination to just turn 1300 odd pages of Davidson ... I could turn just  500 out of the whole lot . Turning pages also can be very exhausting especially when they have tiny texts written on them .  The evening was all about moving out from the mental stress of learning and retaining millions of words from the heavy paper collage .  Tonight , I decided to kill the subject of surgery . I started with hemorrhoids . But then you happen to read EWW stuff that you shut the book immediately . The thoughts of it keep loitering in your head but you just want to flush them out. I read this (see picture) Sensitive readers better stay out from this post. I am nauseating already. This blog was meant to divert my attention.  Goodnight . Sleep tight !
