Blind people in Emergency!

Hey people Hope everyone is doing well . People who are messing up , bhai hum saath saath hai. I do embarrassing stuff quite many times. Good stuff comes in between but mostly it's embarrassing stuff . I am so used to it that the biggest embarrassing thing does not last for more than a day in my mind. I have learnt to move on. There were a couple of incidents when I met a blind people and I could not  make out that they were actually blind even though my nursing staff could. Dumb girl alert! Incident #1 A 70 year old man who is brought into the emergency room by his relatives with history of weakness and has upper and lower limbs and inability to speak. Like any other emergency physician I was more inclined towards keeping his ABC secure so I looked for his gcs he didn't move his limbs I kept giving him the pain stimulus and it open his eyes neither did he open his eyes  ,all I could see is a response to deep pain stimulus , inappropriate soundsand I obviously give him a

My good days

Exams , Ramadan , Residency and Summer- THE Experience

Hey people Now that Ramadan is done The exam is done Summer is almost done So here is the summary. Efforts section is ours! Result section lies with Almighty! It seemed like I was in a white and black world . Books were white with black text on them. The sun was bright with a exhausting day with it . The fasts were great with a sensation of nausea all Theday long! The mood was cranky with every effort to be patient. The throat was thirsty with every end wanting for a sip of water. The mind didn't know whether to fast , work , study or just sustain. The body was scared to travel even in the comfiest of the cars. The stomach refused to accept any other delicacy other than juice and water. The books screamed for attention for every day that got closer to exams. The resident wanted to attend every class , patient and fast. I wanted to run fast , do every thing . Not miss on out anything, giving an excuse of other. This was till da

1 year in Emergency Medicine : 15 months -15 Lessons

Hey people, No , I am not Baba Ranchodhdas Chancha bragging. These are little things I learnt in first year of my residency.I've been post poning this post like my wedding plans. But this blog at least will see daylight! Here it goes 1)Don't dwell on your short comings Unless its a skill and you're thinking of ways to improvise on it. 2)A good patient remains to be a good patient unless handed over the bill. I see . Stabilise a patient. Patient is up for discharge. they're polite , thank me. I Write down the charges . Send the attendant to the billing, and quietly wait for the after effects! BAM! the rant starts! Aapne kiya kya? Man ! I made your sick kin my priority, treated him over everybody else when your consultant was busy treating the prebooked 20 cases and had no time for your kin as you landed uninformed from space! I got the entire Xray machine in the ER for your kin when the entire radiology department was with non emergent cases.
