DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Hey all In my life , I was a part of amazing gathering of intellect and execution on 26th May.Banter ahead . Read at your own risk.  ... Ok? Minds are like parachutes they work best when open. So with an open mind I took an invite to go to a HEALTH QUEST ( quality of gradation enabled through space and technology) meeting at ISRO. It was more of an impulsive decision I'd say honestly.I thought it was just "another" Quality Workshop. Despite reviewing the agenda my tubelight didn't lighten up. It was mainly " the aura" about ISRO that took me there but  the best thing I did was to go there with my mind open, open to possibilities open to troubleshooting open to take opinion from experts who are not from my field open to introspect   open to listen to scope of improvement open to create benchmark.  SAFETY IN CURRENT SCENARIO  It was very pleasant to hear that It was safer to travel in a rocket over a airplane in Bangalore and that the roads are s

Hey all , Lets not waste time and start talking about this interesting topic. This is something I am guilty of and would want to change in me. The art of dissing certain professions starts from home where as kids you're told doctors and engineers are to be looked up and other professionals are just supporting caste of the movie called society.This continues where your professors of your specialty either be in doctors or engineers tell you that how superior they are or others .Its good in a way to have self-awareness but I wonder putting others down or making their job seem trivial makes one superior.  Step 2: You walk from medical school to the specialists post where you see your heads and consultants dissing other specialties .Like a cardiologist dissing out the gastroenterologist, physician dissing a surgeon, critical care dissing emergency physician so this is pretty engrained. As doctors most of us tend to have alpha personalities so the sense of valida

  Hey all Why such a dry topic? Well this dry topic has annoyed me like my dry scalp in winters. Post residency, I had a decent salary in hand and didn't know what to do. I had just come out of a bad health crisis, so party was the last thing I'd do.  I sat down and navigated money management . Its been about a year and I am still exploring things. When I would go upto my colleagues to ask about their savings and investment strategies , I noticed something interesting.  Gender bias . Like a curious kid in the world of finance I would bombard them with questions.I found something interesting gender wise . Honestly majority of the doctors were unaware about where there investments are going. Male doctors acted like they got things figured out by Investing in the traditional real estate , mutual funds ( Suggested by their friends or CAs) , in worst scenarios Fixed Deposits. There was no logic why a certain mutual fund was picked , why a certain stock was picked . It wa

Hey people I cleared my RCEM intermediate /SAQ exam. Good 10 days late in sharing the blog. It took me some time to put my mind together to jot down this post. The number of thoughts in words couldnt sync so it took a while. I jot down my failures and successes in this blog to optimise my mood.  I did not celebrate my success. Honestly, it was more of relief than happiness. I am immensely thankful to the almighty for my failures, as they helped me optimize my lifestyle.  November 2020 was the first time I failed an exam in 27 years of my life despite preparing well.I failed with a handful of marks. It took me good time to digest it. I still cut a cake to celebrate it. That was the first time I took a while and reviewed my life. I took a while to wait and blame the thing that caused my failure, I could see my anxiety tall and stout. I worked on controlling my exam anxiety.  March 2021 , I failed again. this time it was the exam , it was pretty tough for average student like

Hello everybody It's been a while that I have written something on my blog. This time I have a valid reason . I was trying to absorb... Absorb knowledge from all over the world absorb best practices from all over the world listen to people from all over the world. Thanks to the pandemic most of the conferences went online and we had this opportunity to listen to the best speakers across the world virtually and economically , otherwise we'd have to spend lofty amounts just to go to a place to listen to somebody.  People who are in their residency will totally empathize and sympathize with the fact that somebody would have to let go of a conference to attend the other and the choice to pick which one would be difficult. The cold wars amongst the colleagues as to who finally goes to the conference would be never ending. The stress of accommodation to travel to food would be a different thing altogether. The fear of missing out good lectures versus the form of visiting

Hello all, While the stock market and the cryptomarket is on bull run. My academics seem to be having bearish trend. Some of my colleagues text to show their condolences like somebody died . I swear if I could share it here , you would be as surprised as I am. But if you understand the growth curve of any growing firm or individual, you have bearish and bullish trends , one leads to another.  I really can't wait to see where this 📉 📈 takes me. Its not mortal to have upward trajectory all through your life. You need to fall/ pause to fuel up and start running.  Beware if somebody is promising you anything otherwise.  So here I am signing off , going back to study what I intend to practice for rest of my sane life with intention to hit to the next level. So far So much!

Hello people  I have been wanting to write this article for a while now. It's not that I figured out everything in life but I definitely think I have moved a step further in my life. So learning one thing at a time. So , the stuff I have learned over past one year is so much that I cannot total it with stuff that I have learned in past 4 years on whole. Here are some major things. 1. Say No .  The easiest word to spell after the word " I ", but most difficult to put across. It was very difficult when I said it for the first time but as I began practicing it it became easier and easier and I felt better and better. Still working on it. 2. All Ears For an extrovert like me the most difficult or challenging thing has been to listen. A harsh critic that I am ,I could zero down that I am a bad listener. I looked over it to go back see it and started working on listening , on what people have to say without taking my input, however the crappy the idea was to let the

Hello people  I have been attending these conferences very mindfully. I would want to discuss this one as I think would be useful to other emergency physicians looking to update themselves with advancement and emergency departments. We work as teams in emergency department. The teams grow by lifting each other. So here is the first step.  Today, will be discussing the Royal College of Emergency medicines annual scientific conference 2021. What was it ?  Annual scientific conference for an emergency medicine by Royal College of Emergency medicine . This was scheduled between 5-7th October 2021. How do you get there?  1)You'll buy tickets from the website How much do I pay? you pay them but there are good discounts ,if you're a  student / consultant or if you belong to low or middle income countries. They also have scholarships for annual scientific conference the scholarships gives you free access to the conference and free entry into one of the pre-conference works

Hello people We are all learners from Womb to Tomb , since I am done with my not so wow exam . I decided not only to let my mind learn new things but also brush on things I already know. The free course from Stanford is something I stumbled upon.  Why Honestly, I enrolled because it was from The Stanford University of Medicine. It seemed like a well paced course. It's always great to be prepared before the third wave 🌊 hits the shores.    Duration My experience has been good. Having completed my residency and working in the pandemic I found the difficulty decent. It took me about a week to complete. I didn't want to rush through the course as I didn't want to lose the essence. In between shifts and other curious activities. If you're ON it day and night you can complete it in 2 days. I watched the video on 2x.  Who all can take it ?  All healthcare workers . Doctor s , nurses and paramedical staff. Works better if you're dealing with COVID 19 patients. Fresh gradua

Hello everybody  I'm back yet again with an innocent encounter that I'd like to share ! You can call us as the withdrawal writing because I've been away from my blog for quite a long time and now I can't stop!  My blogs about emergency medicine have a decent exposure making me "go to person" to anybody who is interested to join emergency medicine. This blog is one of such conversation I have had. A friend of mine connected me to her cousin who wanted to join emergency medicine .She said her cousin was quite interested in emergency medicine and thought I would be the right person to help and guide her. I might not be the best person but I do whatever I can to help her , I reassured her. The Fresh med school pass out had just started her internship. I immediately started explaining her the options she can opt non-stop for about a minute and then I realized she was puzzled.  I realized I was too fast and went back to the ABC approach.I would found t
