Step 12 : Relating with the team members

Hey all,  It's always a good day to learn to save lifes. It's even better to have deep conversation with healers, wounded healers. I was in quarantine because of high titres of positivity (COVID 19) . I happened to discuss a topic with now an ex team member.  I was in full energy after a long time . She told me how much she missed working with me. I was trying to be nice and say your new leader is also great, all you need is time. I was trying my best to be diplomatic and not say anything otherwise because you know one tends to speak nice of you if they get attached to you.  But her change in attitude towards work scared me a little. She went on to say ," I miss working with you ... It was like learning new procedures without pressure, it was like I had no leader but a team member who would work with me, I felt energetic at the end of the shift. But now I don't feel like going to work, work seems stressful . All I want to do is complete documents and shift the patient

Step 11 : Mad as a hatter

Hey all, To pose dignified calm when you want to break bones , shout at your level best , cry your heart out is the toughest thing to do. I specially now have high regards for anyone who does so. There are days when you're mad as a hatter on shift. All you want to do is break somebodys bones without being charged for it for them asking incessantly of things you can't help.  Sometimes you wonder if all this is what you want from life.  You wonder if you had studied med school to be managing such bombastic shit. You wonder if this is worth dying young... Pizza is atleast tasty! You wonder if yelling like a lunatic lady  in a sophisticated place worth the deal. But if you think of a better bigger picture , if you can save more life , provide better quality care, it's all worth it.  My mental health... Well , it's high time almighty finds me a therapist!  So far so much!

Step 10 : Pulling Everybody out of their own loop

Hey all , Hope life is treating you well . It takes guts to read my blogs . You're a warrior already! Working in a team as a team leader for a month I was startled with the observations I would make everyday. Everyone is different and caught in their ownself that their reaction to same thing presented at same place everyday is different.  I had the junior most resident who was doing well everyday . This one fine day, ER was a hot air balloon filled with pressured air , he had this one case that got settled in one to two hours (too much as it was already a settled case by a previous team) I held my calm as it was still manageable. 4 hours later I gave him a case to handle , he asked me for some more time as he wanted to settle down a issue from the previous case.  You cannot ask for some more time! You HAVE to settle this case ! I FIRMLY answered which again I had settled with respect to investigation, and initial management. He understood what I meant. He quietly took up the case .

Let it go
