ER Diaries: Finding a groom - The struggle is real


Why did you land up here? People are scared to take a step further!I want you to write the entrance one more time and get lost from this field ! I spoke to a lady for matrimony purpose and she cut me down saying Emergency Medicine ? This a demanding field!Just take a Paraclinical subject and SETTLE down. - My Mother said.


Some more Free Me Time . I laugh as I breathe heartily before my mom runs behind me with her belan! 
Dust settles down. I don’t ! Cutting down the cliche crap . Some serious fodder down here:

While common marriage advice holds that a person should place his or her marriage above all else, doctors often don't. Living with this reality often requires a lot of patience! Patience these days is like biryani takes a lot of efforts and wait ! 

The healthcare is a cross section of our society, and just as in any other community, there are always promiscuous men and women.

The type of work doctors deal with tend to attract partners that have similar attractions to duty, honor and commitment. Expecting that from non medicos is a bit too much.

'Don't involve your whole life around your career, do something for yourself.' My mom says! Budging me to get married.

But some serious bitter gourd facts: 
Life being married to a doctor -- and staying married -- requires that you're always flexible. Things change fast and often, and it's absolutely essential that you, are able to roll with the punches as those changes affect your life too!

As times get harder in the quest for marriage ironically expectations seem to rocket. We are all guilty of this at times. And why not, we all want the best for ourselves don’t we? We deserve the best right? Yes we do….but we need to realise we can’t have EVERYTHING we want.

My new motto is 'Just go with it,' or 'Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.' 

People assume that night duties, weird work schedules and frequent moves put too much stress on marriage.Those things do stress marriages, but couples seem to have coping mechanisms or realistic expectations or something that enable them to weather the separations and anxiety.

This hardiness might have something to do with the pride that spouses feel for their partners’ willingness to serve and the deep sense of respect this fosters.

Its uplifting to know your spouse is serving the humanity not just chasing the almighty Rupaiya!

It is a struggle, it is tough, it’s a hard game.






Everything does happen for a reason, and while we don't always know the reason right away, it will lead to the right path. Just basically, be patient ad things will work themselves out.


I want to look back and be able to say that yes, I gave my all to this season of my life to something with so MUCH adventure and adrenaline. At a stage of life where my own life has so much drama . The daily argument, errors , blame games! Some may diminish its importance, but they are amazing! 

The moments matter because, comprehensively, these are what we will look back and remember as “the residency years.” I hope I will remember them well!

So far so much!

" 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

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
