Discussing fears

Hey all So the low mood Halo is still on my head. Thinking about possibilities . Humor seems to be getting repelled by the low mood Halo. Too much philosophy up in there. Run if you're already yawning. Lot of yawning stuff down here.  Where does fear come from?  I've realized atleast from last 6 months is fear comes from places of insecurity. Dear of losing touch or control over things we love , things we've worked hard for, things we see our future in. Why don't people discuss their fears? Insecurity again.  How do.you think one can handle it.

Slowing down in the fast lane

Hey all, Yep the brain is in grind mode. Why? Prolly it's uneasy.Why?  Prolly because I thought the life in the fast lane is always fast. I never realized that there can be a slow down. Slow down because your mood and body chose to slow down. There is change in the gears. The automatic gears.  You want to fasten up buckle up but your spine doesn't want to get up. You want to fuel up by eating good food but your nausea doesn't let you eat.  You want to stay up work a bit more but your eyes just want to rest. When you go to rest, they refuse to rest. It's like working in a team where nobody is cooperating to the leaders decision. That's what a slow down in a fast lane seems like. A cell in itself. So far so much. Bye!

My superpower? My smile.

Hey people, Well , non sense alert. When am not running around in my emergency , in ambulances, doing life saver courses , studies , conferences( will end the bragging here) what I do is ... I think, overthink... To an extent that my mind gets exhausted I doze off sleeping.  So tonight whats the overthinking about... It's about superpower. What superpower am I talking about here? Something that makes you superior above others. Don't go by the urban dictionary it has the sleaziest meanings. Something you show and get over difficult situation. Something you think will stay with you but it's your short-sightedness .  Something I thought I possessed was in my personality. I thought it would be with me. My smile. Even in the worst imagination I thought I would lose money , status , people but not my smile. Few months back , I lost it. I just woke up to not having it at all. I now know how it feels like to have your superpowers taken away from you. No notification, just lost.  ...

You patient soul! Hi fi!  Good night!

Blind people in Emergency!

Hey people Hope everyone is doing well . People who are messing up , bhai hum saath saath hai. I do embarrassing stuff quite many times. Good stuff comes in between but mostly it's embarrassing stuff . I am so used to it that the biggest embarrassing thing does not last for more than a day in my mind. I have learnt to move on. There were a couple of incidents when I met a blind people and I could not  make out that they were actually blind even though my nursing staff could. Dumb girl alert! Incident #1 A 70 year old man who is brought into the emergency room by his relatives with history of weakness and has upper and lower limbs and inability to speak. Like any other emergency physician I was more inclined towards keeping his ABC secure so I looked for his gcs he didn't move his limbs I kept giving him the pain stimulus and it open his eyes neither did he open his eyes  ,all I could see is a response to deep pain stimulus , inappropriate soundsand I obviously give him a...

My good days

Hey people I thought I just entered into a normal phase of life where one gets tired , then sleeps , wakes up fresh for a new day Something my body was devoid of since the time I entered medicine final year. Fortunately , I was at peace for last 2 weeks . Was able to sleep on time , eat healthy food, interact with my family , have a spiritual life ... Yes , Dr Anxious Wajeeha was doing all this . Then? Then what happened is what our elders say , ACHCHE DIN beet gaye ! I happened to do some extra duties trying to save it for some later commitments in future of  which even I am unsure of . Result? Deranged sleep and food. Now? Up like an owl . Blogging. Planning many things. Atleast this I be able to plan better. So far so much

Exams , Ramadan , Residency and Summer- THE Experience

Hey people Now that Ramadan is done The exam is done Summer is almost done So here is the summary. Efforts section is ours! Result section lies with Almighty! It seemed like I was in a white and black world . Books were white with black text on them. The sun was bright with a exhausting day with it . The fasts were great with a sensation of nausea all Theday long! The mood was cranky with every effort to be patient. The throat was thirsty with every end wanting for a sip of water. The mind didn't know whether to fast , work , study or just sustain. The body was scared to travel even in the comfiest of the cars. The stomach refused to accept any other delicacy other than juice and water. The books screamed for attention for every day that got closer to exams. The resident wanted to attend every class , patient and fast. I wanted to run fast , do every thing . Not miss on out anything, giving an excuse of other. This was till da...

Pep talk!

Hey people The patient ones , the curious ones , the considerate ones and everyone else .I am back after a hiatus into one of my hobbies or a tell all space. I believe Every experience you have is making you tough for something bigger in life ! I am a believer of quantity of experiences than quality.  It makes you wiser , more importantly tougher human being! Everything you experience is a treasure , a memory only you own. The only time you should be relaxing is in your grave , for years. As long as you are alive , run as fast as you can. Touch as many lives as you can. Leave a positive impact. That way , you have 7 billion lives to touch , how can you rest? So buckle up , rush fast , work hard , leave an impact! T hank you ! So far so much!

1 year in Emergency Medicine : 15 months -15 Lessons

Hey people, No , I am not Baba Ranchodhdas Chancha bragging. These are little things I learnt in first year of my residency.I've been post poning this post like my wedding plans. But this blog at least will see daylight! Here it goes 1)Don't dwell on your short comings Unless its a skill and you're thinking of ways to improvise on it. 2)A good patient remains to be a good patient unless handed over the bill. I see . Stabilise a patient. Patient is up for discharge. they're polite , thank me. I Write down the charges . Send the attendant to the billing, and quietly wait for the after effects! BAM! the rant starts! Aapne kiya kya? Man ! I made your sick kin my priority, treated him over everybody else when your consultant was busy treating the prebooked 20 cases and had no time for your kin as you landed uninformed from space! I got the entire Xray machine in the ER for your kin when the entire radiology department was with non emergent cases....
