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. 

They say right, when you don't have it fake it. I try faking it . But you cannot wear masks for a long time when you're used to being original all time. 

I now know how it feels like to have a hundred things in mind and not speak anything or just speak anything to avoid talking about.

What next? What would one do to gain back power that was thought last forever?
Chase... What else would you do?
Chase till you find it, cage it and not let it go.
Because we only value things when they're gone.

So far so much
Well I know too 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...
