DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hey people, How's the quarantine life going? Chilling or killing time? Since all doctors are stressing on how they're being on high end as people actually facing the virus , I just noticed some cautious moments that shows the caution and panic the quarantine has created. Instance # 1 Wheeled into resuscitation area today was an elderly about  88 year old female  who was brought with history of unresponsiveness for more than an hour. Active resuscitation took place. Despite best attempts I had to declare her dead. I went out to look for family, I saw nobody. Till then I was in the code, my team was communicating with the family. I went out of the Emergency room looking for them. When I saw the family, everybody was wearing a mask , not a disposable one , the other N99 mask, with hand sanitizer in their hands. They were OKAY with the death news. The thing they were worried about was walking into ED.  They just wanted me to do the formalities fast , so that

Hey people !  Back to weird topics with weird headers. The other day , it was past midnight, I'd accompanied a patient to the ICU, I notice an elderly lady stand near the elevator . Honestly, I didn't even notice. I dropped the patient came back she was there.  She walked towards me hastily and asked, hello doctor. I smiled back said Hi and tried walking fast to the emergency room.   Doctor if you don't mind I've a request . There was pin drop silence ,everything she told was loud and clear.  With no other choice I asked her what the request was.  Can you drop me on the second floor. I've a relative who is sick , I've to go. I cannot stand alone in a elevator. Please? I nodded. Dropped her to her requested floor , came back.  There was nothing so OMG about the incident.  I somehow find it spooky. Also when I look back . Shows little anxieties that people have in them , that otherwise don't surface. So far so Much Bye.

Hey people  Long time , no see. Busy would be a wrong word , I had rather say my priorities were different for past few months. Running around various other things, partying like crazy to keep my brain occupied.  While trying to do all this ,I unknowingly landed up in many debts . 1. Sleep debt 6-8 hours of sleep, " Ha Ha Ha " from the Johnny Johnny rhyme.  If you're a resident and you sleep enough , thats an achievement in itself. If you don't, its okay , you're just like everyone else. 2. Shift debt Wabt to attend a conference? Beg , borrow , steal , die. Want to attend your friends wedding? Beg , borrow duties .  Want to rest ? Ha Ha Ha. 3. Food debt You tend to miss out on meals and then suddenly binge on at once. If this has not happened , Bro , what planet do you belong to? 4. Memory debt Forget your keys , forget loans , forget people .Happens with everyone. 5. Knowledge debt

Hey people,  Hows life?  Mine is good , saving few lives here and there , messing my own now and then.  So I ve just completed one WHOLE year after my AHA instructor course . So... experience sharing time! The best decisions happen when you're not looking for them.  This is one of the example of the same. Since its celebration time , I am only going to share the best parts, or the best glimpse from last year. 1 . The first experience The course started in English and we realized the staff there was not well versed with English all the house keeping staff et Al . My lead instructor chose to promptly change the medium to Telugu , and there I am clueless. Being a person who murders Telugu Everytime I speak it. I chose to take a back seat and help correcting people. This was my first experience in the lifesaver course. 2.  Thought process Everyone has that one event in their life that changes their perspective towards something. It was after going th

Hey people *Clears throat* Today happens to be the day I enrolled myself in Emergency Medicine Residency two years back. Its a special day of course. Definitely, close to my heart , liver and kidneys. My mentor asked me how the two years went by. I didn't say much. Because sometimes you have a hundred things running in your mind and you dont know which trail to catch.Thoughtfully jotting things down.Keep calm and read on. 1. Patience : I've lost it. As emergency physicians it is important for us to act fast. Having said that it is equally important to hold back and watch for response with patience. I think I've lost it in last 6months. Trying my best to get hold of it.  Still working on it. 2. Filtering Advices : When a code runs , everybody has a set of protocols and advice. Being firm , right is important. Handling my fickle mind. Still working on it. 3. Identifying Addictions $  Burnout I overtime realised addiction might

Hey all So the low mood Halo is still on my head. Thinking about possibilities . Humor seems to be getting repelled by the low mood Halo. Too much philosophy up in there. Run if you're already yawning. Lot of yawning stuff down here.  Where does fear come from?  I've realized atleast from last 6 months is fear comes from places of insecurity. Dear of losing touch or control over things we love , things we've worked hard for, things we see our future in. Why don't people discuss their fears? Insecurity again.  How do.you think one can handle it.

Hey all, Yep the brain is in grind mode. Why? Prolly it's uneasy.Why?  Prolly because I thought the life in the fast lane is always fast. I never realized that there can be a slow down. Slow down because your mood and body chose to slow down. There is change in the gears. The automatic gears.  You want to fasten up buckle up but your spine doesn't want to get up. You want to fuel up by eating good food but your nausea doesn't let you eat.  You want to stay up work a bit more but your eyes just want to rest. When you go to rest, they refuse to rest. It's like working in a team where nobody is cooperating to the leaders decision. That's what a slow down in a fast lane seems like. A cell in itself. So far so much. Bye!

Hey people, Well , non sense alert. When am not running around in my emergency , in ambulances, doing life saver courses , studies , conferences( will end the bragging here) what I do is ... I think, overthink... To an extent that my mind gets exhausted I doze off sleeping.  So tonight whats the overthinking about... It's about superpower. What superpower am I talking about here? Something that makes you superior above others. Don't go by the urban dictionary it has the sleaziest meanings. Something you show and get over difficult situation. Something you think will stay with you but it's your short-sightedness .  Something I thought I possessed was in my personality. I thought it would be with me. My smile. Even in the worst imagination I thought I would lose money , status , people but not my smile. Few months back , I lost it. I just woke up to not having it at all. I now know how it feels like to have your superpowers taken away from you. No notification, just lost.  Th

Hey all , Long time ,no see... My mind is a lil bit dizzy. It has questions, answers and then no answers...  The conversation I think makes a lot of sense and no sense both at once.Got patience? Read on.. Wanna talk? Yes , I want to , dont want to... What's up in your mind? I was thinking of... umm Nothing. You wanna take a break? Of course...well...I dont want to... Life has gone hectic? Oh yes... umm no.. its been more hectic. You upset? Oh no... I dont know ... What makes you upset? I guess I know but I dont know... How can you not know? I think I should know but I dont know... You patient soul! Hi fi!  Good night!

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
