DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

We were nagged . We are going to nag you , flog you . Why ?  Legacy .  Some senior doctors have this kind of attitude. But there has to be a way to channel out their frustration. Some smoke and drink to do the same . Sometimes that isn’t just enough and some don’t do anything. Where does the negativity drain? It drains down to the junior most resident. It’s an unwritten bond every junior medical resident  in the medical field  across the world has signed up while joining residency.  Some try to combat . Some give a deaf ear . Some shed a tear . All they wait is for the end of their residency or atleast joining of their junior. Because hey! They also have to channelise their stress out of their body. I find it a little weird when I read people leaving the job because they ain’t able to cope with this. How I deal with this ? Honestly I find it very funny.  There are times I get offended .  There are times I feel guilty when ...

One of the saddest commentaries on my city that I see on an all too regular basis is the absolute lack of coping skills in the growing generation. We had generation X and then Y, and I guess they’ll need to call this generation W for whiners. Too pampered while growing up that they have no idea how to manage their own problems after they very effectively create them. I had the unfortunate experience of seeing A teenager who came to ER on three separate occasions seen by three separate ER physicians for what he described as chest pain. Day 1. Chest pain , Palpitations. ECG and all normal. Some anxiolytic and discharge. Day 2 . Chest pain , palpitations. ECG and all normal. Some anxiolytic and discharge. Patient insists on admission. Counseling and CIAO!  Day 3 . Palpitations. ( My day)  I heard Nurse while checking his vitals reassuring , you’re fine .  Nothing is wrong. She told me that the boy had appeared twice earlier to the same centre with ch...

Hey! It’s not a pleasant situation to have ZERO control over  •What you think •How you think •Where you think For me it’s two poles . All good or all bad!  I feel like I want to murder someone and at the same time I don’t mind having a shawarma. • It’s tiring  •It’s exhausting  It’s must to speed dial your BFF when thoughts are out of proportion to Get out of unpleasant trial of thought. •I live more inside my head than outside it. There really is no bright or positive side to living with anxiety, and although each sufferer has a different experience .  P eople who immediately act on those ‘wild-card dangers’ are more likely to survive and preserve the lives of their loved ones.  People believe that those who suffer from anxiety have a better likelihood of being empathetic as they may be better at reading emotional signs as well as being attuned to certain energies. So far so much

Hey all, Sharing a Rather funny incident today!  A 20 something girl walked into the ER with 45 something man . Both seemed healthy and fit. I enquired who the patient was.She asked me if Gynaecologist was available. I was replied No, am an ER physician. Tell me your problem . May be I can help you with it if it’s acute ? You won't find a Gynaecologist at this hour. She starts, See I have itchy vagina. For a few days now. I enquired about the discharge,  Odour ,Blood and all. All had a negative answer .Meanwhile the man looked like a father figure to her , but you never know . So I asked her who he was. She was burping out anything and everything without hesitation which is VERY RARE irrespective of your race and nationality, whatever be your religion or culture to talk about your personal details in your parents presence. She continues Whenever I itch I am feeling horny. I thought I heard it wrong, I asked her twice , thrice . HORNY she says lo...

Hey! One should experience what it's like  to be in the playing field.  The rush of adrenaline is nothing ! Like anything else in the world. And, the satisfaction of  having tried, beats the crappiest loss ever! 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 ! Don't let the skin stand in between you and the diagnosis !   I am most certainly activated and not the least bit tired! 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. So far so much.

Emergency medicine plays the most important part in caring for the acutely ill and injured patients. Also it is surrounded by so much drama, tragedy, and media interest The department and specialty are a rich subject for debates and criticism . The initial assessment and early treatment in resuscitation, trauma, medical and paediatric emergency will remain the “core” role of the ER physician. What will be the changes to our specialty in the next 10–15 years? Demands will continue to increase. There will be more patients, with more serious illness and higher expectations. There is an emerging vacuum in acute care and it is for our specialty to choose paths to develop. We should start to identify some specific gaps in training and perhaps to restructure training programmes to ensure the necessary skills are obtained. So far so much

Hey all It's when you're sick you realise , you are important . The one who needs your attention the most is yourself.There were days when I thought about career , people but now I only think about the body I plan to live in till the end of my life.  It’s then when you realise you need your time , you want the time to slow down a bit so that you can heal your tired body. It’s then you realise you need care and attention from your loved ones. You know it’s viral fever , you know it will have its own course , you know it’s benign ... still you seek some empathy and attention. That’s human . That’s us . So far so much
