8 hiccups in my college

Hi people
Typecasting has taken a backseat . It's the complain thing again!!!
1. Not much product variety
My college is at an isolated place and hardly anything is found in the vicinity. The only place you find food in is your canteen . The same thing everyday !

2. Fashion Trends
Since it's a Muslim Minority College . Everything you choose from the market is with atleast ten other girls . Don't be surprised when a girl catches hold of you and says , even I have the same Palazzo. 

3.You can't disappear
The population of the college is just 400 right now. With around 80 interns, world only gets smaller. Then 100 freshers make it very very small. If you ever feel like removing your hijab , your classmates  best friend who is also your relative will blabber it all through . Or you bunk a class and the attender tells this to the management .

Basically , in VRK everybody knows everybody, there is nothing as such like a celebrity. 
You can't pretend like things never  happened .

4. You can't avoid people
Even if you are fed up with the non stop banter , you can't get away from that girl who sits next to you or may be posted with you .

5. Isolation
The college timings are so packed that you don't even feel like going elsewhere after your 8-5 packed schedule . But you never want to be Home Alone on weekends and vacations . You just want to fly away.
As its situated away from the city , you just kick start your bike and bunk off . Or ride away in an auto rickshaw . Car? Is own transport allowed , anyway?

6. SunGuilt
Usually we are very well protected in the college. But the way to college gives you a tan . A 8 minute walk to hospital another 8 minute walk while returning gives you sweat and tan . No, no vitamin D at peak afternoon!

7.Bumpy Rides
I still don't know if it's the driver or the vehicle that gives me a backache .

8.Nosy attenders
I think every college has such group of people , ever rude.

So far so much ... 
Bye

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

Parallel Universe : BCT Series XXX

  Two moments in the ED this week made me realize that I come from a parallel universe. One involved a teenage patient who had applied bronzer that I found while cleaning her skin for a IV cannula which left me surprised as I come from a part of the world where teenagers paint their skin with whitening agents to look more attractive. The second moment was during my teaching session on Organophosphorous poisoning, where I wondered if my accent was causing disengagement . However, I learned that it was simply a rare presentation of organophosphorous poisoning in this part of the world. It felt like I was narrating my adventures from a tropical trek! Have you ever had a moment where your cultural background clashed with your environment ?

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody  I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done.  Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care. A 50 years plus old gentleman ,presented to the emergency with the complaints of chest pain radiating to left arm , breathing difficulty, choking sensation in the throat, inability to open his ey...
