Rewiring compos mentis

Hey all ,

My life and cupboards are parallel these days , both messed up.I have no clue how to organise it!

Rewiring
Sometimes you have to rewire your mind to help yourself see a little bit clearer version of your state of mind , clear the windows to see the light that shines within.

Figuring out
As you start walking, the path appears . The diagnosis settles. Once you jump off the plain and tread onto the  uneven terrain, you will thank yourself for doing that because the feeling of being 'born new' gives a high !

Some motivation
Dress your bruises and start running again because what happens , happens!
You can almost feel Mr.Death looking over your shoulder, smirking as you do all this.

Growing up!
The maturity to differentiate between a personal attack and constructive criticism is still in progress...
No problem is big enough to be unsolvable. No failure means you don't have another chance to try. 
Every cardiac arrest is worth a CPR
My Love ❤️
Why do I do what I do?
I love dynamic things! 
I love the way things in emergency come to conclusion , like you treat / stabilise / just send him home ( live / dead ). team works endlessly turn by turn to resuscitate 

Poker games
 I can no longer try and be a poker player of sorts, keeping my personal feelings hidden behind my smile while I measure up the alpha male, the needy daughter, and the nosy neighbor, all begging for more attention than the actual patient.
Often I find myself in standing in midst of Tall Giant figured men trying to prove my point. 
One person can affect the entire ER experience, either positively or negatively. The explosive amount of tension built up and a pin prick will do the job.
 
Domino's
 Like a long line of proverbial dominoes, when one part tips over, it knocks down almost all the others in someway.
No matter what I do, I’m behind at home, and I’m behind at work.

Contemporaries
I laugh because I know the truth. That while most of my friends have slowly climbed the financial ladder over the course of the last few years , I have remained a very steady straight line. I know eventually that will change or might not.

EM ❤️
The Emergency medicine is not a job, it's a lifestyle. The needs of the ER always come first. So try to look on the bright side and see the positives of this lifestyle.
Life, especially in Emergency Medicine , is all about perspective. So make the best of it and enjoy the adventure.
The moments matter because, comprehensively, these are what we will look back and remember as “the residency years.” I hope you, as well as I, will remember them well!

Change in 2020
Was never a leader but have been a believer...learnt to stand out of the crowd. It's okay to be the light not the shadow. Learnt to be the voice not the echo during resuscitation and various practical life scenarios
Emotional suppression absorbs mental resources, deteriorates cognitive performance and impacts memory.Keeping ourselves from getting influenced for a charismatic leader is tough.But our task is to remind ourselves that he or she is an ordinary human being.

So far so much.

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 ?

First Night Shift Leading: Canvas Chaos to Calm Chap: BCT Series XXV

Hello All Ever had one of those nights where everything that could go wrong seems to do just that? Let me take you on a rollercoaster of candid chaos and unexpected brilliance, as I navigated my first night leading a shift in an unfamiliar center. Picture this: Stress levels through the roof, feeling like a fish out of water, and apologizing more times than I can count. My team's glances were a mix of skepticism and judgment, and I questioned every decision I made. Forgetfulness, clumsy mistakes, and endless apologies became the soundtrack of the night, and I found myself stumbling into the wee hours, going home much later than planned. The turning point came when I spilled my chaotic night to the senior who took over from me. His two cents were a revelation – insights, strategies, and a perspective that turned my canvas of confusion into a potential masterpiece. The consultant, in a one-on-one, shared even more wisdom on navigating the intricacies of a shift leader role. Feedback,...
