Where are Life-threatening emergencies? #COVID

Hey people
Its been a while that I've blabbered. My friend pointed out that I don't have consistency. I happened to plan to do everything, but am left at point zero. 

So , now ... idea is to blog consistently ( Don't mistake is as everyday 😜) You cannot take charge to annoy everyone everyday.


Topic for the day...
Where are Life-threatening emergencies? 

Its not that people aint dying... they are. But has the nature changed its way of cleansing earth by this crash detoxification method ?

I mean where are the heart attacks, stroke , traumas , cancers , colics ... Its just lungs, lungs, lungs!!!
Bacteria in the lungs , virus in the lungs , food in the lungs  ! 

I actually sat back thinking about it ... The occurrence of the disease has gone down or the what has lead to the steeping of the cases.
Fear
The COVID scare is so bad that people have boycotted hospitals altogether scared of the One for One offer for COVID that they may contract. 

Awareness
People have begun to have less threshold towards respiratory infections., thanks to COVID.
Less Outpatient Review
The reviews have gone down. People have begun to have online consultations which we all know have certain limitations. So we are missing on it.
Transport
Its a huge task to get a transport to the hospital. The moderate kind of illnesses are just getting delayed for it. Limitations of resources adds upto it.

So far so much
ok 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...
