My mind - A funny place

My mind is like a grocery store . So many things cross by . Like whats to be worn for the evening , to why I should stop shopping , do some social service and what the hell is wrong with the economy ?

I look at it as how productive it can be. However , I lack the skill to prioritise thoughts and actions.

When I find the thought is really negative , my * ANNOYED * feature gets activated . After a while , I be like . Stop it you ! You're just a thought . You have crossed my mind and now ... Kindly park your vehicle here and move away. I have no fodder here .

Sometimes , when I see 22 year old millennials turn millennials . I totally loose it . My * COMPARE * feature gets auto activated. I be like - Wajeeha ! What a failure are you ? People around you , as old as you have turned millionaires , are inspiring people , bringing in a change and you there ain't able to help people with your degree ! You have not even graduated . Look at the fellow medicos from other medical colleges. Look at the way they multi-task.

You should be here by now. You should be there by now... This influences me to an extent that I post really depressing posts on social media of how tangled my life is , like a damsel in distress.

After a while , I look at the thought . I identified it ,aware of it . I said to my thought :

I know you are there .

I am not going to associate with you.

I am not putting you in my basket.

I am not going to use you for anything.

Thanks for showing up! See ya later 💃

There is the door.

Lol ! Before You Think I have a bipolar disorder . Let me end this 😂😜

What I have realised is that we can take control of our minds and direct our minds to a place thats much more beneficial for us in a day and in longterm.

So , I have planned a mantra to calm my mind down , get in right frame of mind to get as many things done today as you possibly can.

I can do this . Let me get to do this!

I'm capable of achieving everything in my plate ... With ease!

So , tell me how do you trick your brain to get things done?

Tired now. 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 ...
