ER Diaries : Adrenaline ! Adrenaline!

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.

ER Diaries : School for Life

Hey all! Sometimes I'm amazed by how much I keep learning every day. Little facts, little life hacks, simple lessons to make life easier.  But honestly, the big lessons in life, the most important ones, are those that come with time. The only branch ER rejects is a branch of hemodynamically stable patients. We don’t put our hands off , like other specialities. We see that every body gets what they require in emergencies.  The discussions with consultants remind you of Med school. Things you forgot or things you never learnt. You sweep it all at once! ER - Amazing place to be in ! So far so much!

ER Diaries : Accidentally finding a Murmur

 Hey all! It’s strange but I find myself in midst of situational comedy most of the time . Here is another funny instance. I examine a patient. Report the findings to my senior to  - Sir , There is a sound net apical lobe. It’s neither a crepitus nor a wheeze. He turned around as asked , what do you think it is? Puzzled , I said , pata nai aisa sound suni nai 😂 kabhi. He asked me to examine again. I did the same . Told the same findings. Are you sure it’s from the lungs? Yes , apical lobe . Sure? He laughed and said. That’s a murmur ! My reaction 🤦‍♀️ What the mind doesn’t know, an ear doesn’t hear.  So far so much
