Miss.The bus

Hello people
This banter should not surprise people who commute through College transport . 

With the call rates getting cheaper and Whatsapp messenger on hand,  things are way more simplified .

Being a chronic late comer , I have missed my bus innumerable times . Its not that I take too long to get ready 15-20 minutes of time is a luxury in the morning when you can bath , dress , eat and run. But the idea of waiting is not welcome.

The psychology behind coming late is that we just hate to wait . We wish to be on time but never want to be there before time. Like you go there . Blink. Stand . Blink. Board. Bye. 

So , today I'd like to share this funny yet not so funny incident . That shoot my adrenaline and digested the nahari and paaye in 30 minutes .

A friend of mine asked me to sign on her behalf As she couldnot come to the college . People in the veil have an advantage of impersonating one another. So I thought to give this a try for the first time. I took a black scarf and coloured one .
 *tring tring*
 *hello*
 *Hurry up! We'll be at your bus stop in no time.Driver is in no mood to wait * 
Before I don my New matte black Abaya for smooth execution of the plan...
* I don't see you. The driver says he wont't wait *
Buttt.. He is 4 minutes earl... *hanged*

I ask my dad to drop me at the next stop. He agrees.
He kickstarts his bike . I stand still terrified . My abaya's got into the wheel . I scream. He stops the bike pulls it out only to find it sieved and shredded . I run inside change in a second . We start.
Friend calls * Where are you? We've crossed this stop too ! 

*Okay . You carry on Ill board another bus. *
I call other driver and he says he is 20 minutes away . I decide to wait and ask my dad to leave .


Meanwhile , a drunken beggar comes to me . I said I have nothing. He looks at my iphone for a while . Miffed up I run to one end of the road , he follows , I move to the other end . He follows . I go hide behind a building ( I know its stupid) .. He disappears. I sigh , turn around find another beggar already smiling. HOrrified I move to other corner of the road . The drunk beggar reappers. I yell at him. He moves away. I call the driver again. He says he'd take another 30 minutes . I was left wondering is he a college driver or a commercial one. Pissed off I come back home . Look for some comfort . 
*yawns* *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...

" 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...

MRCEM OSCE preparation and resources

Hello people Since I have cleared my OSCE in one go, I feel it's my duty to journal what all I have done to make it work.(humble brag).Thanks to ChatGPT for helping me pile up some humble generic sentence to make this blog wholesome.(Just kidding). The MRCEM OSCE exam is an integral part of the qualification which tests the clinical and communication skills of candidates. For Indian students pursuing this qualification, preparing for the MRCEM OSCE exam may seem daunting. However, with a few tips that helped me sail through fine. The thing that helped me the most is acclimatizing myself to the UK Clinical Setting Before appearing for the MRCEM OSCE exam, it is imperative for Indian students to understand the clinical setting in the UK. Sometimes , all they want to see is how you behave , your body language, your tone , and your organising skills. Diagnosis is not a critical thing here. You will not fail if you get a wrong diagnosis provided that you have done it systematically. So ...
