DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

Lost in Rain Forest / Mental Hospital Day 1 was OP . Day 2 were wards .I had no idea where the wards were. Totally lost , I ask the staff there for directions . I see them giggle . One shows me they are towards left , the other shows me right. ( Okay Maria , done for the day. You'll have a tough time finding wards. Be prepared for the worst : I mumbled.)    One staff gives me some direction. Mandir ke paas hai dekho jao. But I could see no Mandir in that rainforest like area. With a baby face I went ahead , I saw a nurse . I thought a her to be a sane soul and asked for help. She agreed . She asked me so many questions. I told her that I wanted to go to the female ward . She wanted more specifications. So , I said Ill ask a friend and tell you.  My colleague wasn't receiving my call.  I : call hi nai lagra? Her: Aise dosto ka to murder hi kardena!  * I stare at her in disbelief*  She takes me to a place . I find no known face.  I c...

Sounds crazy , but I have been waiting for my psychiatry posting since day 1 . Its safe to say that Osmania ward work made me go crazy that I landed up in mental hospital. 😜 A night duty followed by roster Ghich-Ghich with  co-interns , I retire to bed at 6AM .At 8:15 AM , my mother tries her best to wake me up but of no use. Finally , she uses the term , Maria ... Utho Erragadda Jaana hai ! I open my eyes with a wide smile and rush to freshen up with a beaming face.  Firstly , because I have never been to the place before . Secondly , the love for psychology (not psychiatry) . Then the eagerness to visit the Prisoner Ward .  All this gives the adrenaline rush to go . No breakfast , nothing! Just the place ! Like a kid , I hurried . The nature was in favour . Well, not finding traffic on Banjara Hills at 9AM is a sign that things are going to be awesome! So , yes I enter the Institute of Mental Science after taking directio...

Hey  people! Fasting and blogging don't really work well. So , here is one after a break. First day at Osmania General Hospital was so typical. The moment I enter the hospital , I see a corpse . Half a dozen people crying . Surprisingly , Like a cold blooded creature I moved ahead .  After collecting my unit order , I moved towards the wards . The filthy path with  annoying arthropods and bad odour.I find a familiar face yet again ! Having  A familiar person your co intern is such a luxury . You have somebody to laugh along . You have somebody to share a bad experience.  Both of us ran to check vitals. Nerve wreck, your ears don't work . No systole , no diastole . Hell yeah , I have Littman's but what if my ears stop listening to the roz ka BP song. What was new? Checking RBS ,   memorising the room no.s for all the Investigation Departments (Microbiology , Pathology , Biochemistry) . Filling up Arogyashree Forms . ( Oh God ! I did ...

Hey all ! Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it  can we see , hear , or feel it when it comes to us . It opens new space in your heart , where we celebrate , welcome new people in our lives.   The best and the worst thing about night duty is you are by your own discretion . But thats when you make memories and use the IQ you have! To start with ,it was just a regular day with moderate work load . A conversation with a colleague of mine made me realise that I had not utilised Alternate Sunday Day off feature at the Fever hospital . To fuel up the misery , I would have to be doing Night duty on the First Day of Ramadan followed by next day Outpatient and Emergency Outpatient cases. So , the impromptu decision was to try , request and reschedule my night shift. The attender who does it ,took a leave the same day. Till date KG to PG , I have had the history of dragging a friend to be a sidekick for all the administrative department . But here as a transf...

Hey people! I hope 2016 has treated you well. In my case it has had me go nerve wreck from January 1 itself. Migration is never easy. Its exciting. Its adventurous. Time to open the door Time to be seen Time to be heard Time to shine... Is it gonna be scary? Yes. Is it gonna be easy ? No. Is it thats gonna be awkward initially? Probably. And know what? Thats how we grow in life. I'm excited about this huge possibility of what could happen if I just risked it out of going out there. Its not even an option anymore , that I had to sit an dwell over for days and months.  Happy people compete with themselves. They don’t limit themselves. Opening your mind is the best thing you can do because it takes you to a positive state where you have the power to achieve everything you desire.  Its happening , its the hardest , yet the most effective way that I know of making sure of who I am .  And you , the one reading this would ...

Hey! Positive energy is what it all takes to go ahead. Once you hold yourself accountable and responsible for the way you choose to respond to something, you connect with yourself on a deeper level.  When you are connected to yourself on a deeper level, you don’t get knocked off your center as easily. Place yourself in situations that boost your own energies.  Does this person make you feel good? Do you make that person feel good? You are worthy of a brilliant experience and it is time to realize that fact.   Learning to protect yourself against other people’s energies starts with self-love.  Remember that you are worth of happiness and peace, it’s ok to say no. and you are the author of your own energetic state. How you feel is 100% your own responsibility.  The universe is sending people into your life to test us. The perception we have of ourselves is greater than the perception others have of us. You are not a victim, nobody has power o...

Directorate of Medical Education No Objection Certificate Then osmania General hospital No Objection Certificate Then osmania Medical College No Objection Certificate Then Dr. NTR University Of Health Sciences Then DME again for Final order Then college again ( If they give you attendance) Then FINALLY report at Osmania General Hospital. I hope this help. Bye

Hey! First night duty is exciting.  It gets better if you have a familiar person posted with you .  So after a hectic morning shift , our second shift started. Crazy patients for dehydration in the emergency OP .  The dogbite cases are another highlight of Fever Hospital. The OP is never ending . In Emergency OP it was like offering  Candies to the kids crying.  The people who had 2 episodes of motions refused to go without medication , so we had to make a compound prescription to  send them away. Pressurised admission Abusive patient I might sound blatantly loud on my blog but as a person / doctor , you find me quite polite . *Claps* At 11:30pm, walked in a patient who had several episodes of nausea , vomiting . The thing with patients at Government run hospitals is that they  try every other *Nuska* before landing here . He had taken medications for 1 day for typhoid , and the fever had not subsided. Yes , he belon...

Hey! After a long hiatus, since I have  finally cleared my final year medicine , there are going to be a series of blogs . Some with a lot of gyan and some with the crazy experiences I have had in last semester. Thanks to the Apple Store for deleting Blogger from AppStore India , Blogging through the desktop browser is the only way out and is very taxing. So , I have very many topics to share with my readers . Like how crazy the last 50 days of my Final Exams were!  The vacation  . The internship .Stay tuned . There is a lumpsome to read. For today , here is one from my drafts ... How you feel is 100% your own responsibility. The universe is sending people into your life to test us. The perception we have of ourselves is greater than the perception others have of us. You are not a victim, nobody has power over you.  Consider how your thoughts or expectations may have manifested the situation that is bothering you.  What if the answer lies within your ...

My mind is like a grocery store . So many things cross by . Like whats to be worn for the evening , to why I should stop shopping , do some social service and what the hell is wrong with the economy ?  I look at it as how productive it can be. However , I lack the skill to prioritise thoughts and actions. When I find the thought is really negative , my * ANNOYED * feature gets activated . After a while , I be like . Stop it you ! You're just a thought . You have crossed my mind and now ... Kindly park your vehicle here and move away. I have no fodder here .  Sometimes , when I see 22 year old millennials turn millennials . I totally loose it . My * COMPARE * feature gets auto activated. I be like - Wajeeha ! What a failure are you ? People around you , as old as you have turned millionaires , are inspiring people , bringing in a change and you there ain't able to help people with your degree ! You have not even graduated . Look at the  fellow medicos from...
