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...

" 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 ...
