Walk of life

 1 year of Internship.. MBBS results out. College sends notice to report after 1 week for Internship. As an Intern,I now become a part of Hospital.  In my time,Medical Doctors wore scrubs only in Operation Theatre.  As an Intern,I can get to wear SCRUBS for 1st time.  We,Interns,were few in my Medical college. 1 Intern per unit. I am the youngest member by age and designation as part of that unit. You enter a unit in any department.... It's like a newlywed bride entering a big Indian household.  Each member is familiar with one another and they have a bonding for long time and they laugh at common jokes.....and the new member feels awkward,clueless and uncomfortable initially. In due course of time,the new member gets welcomed into the family and becomes a part of the big household. An Intern gets a very similar situation to face...in the 1st week of Unit posting.  Absolute clueless about everything around. Fortunately, I was in Pre NEET generation.  ...

  Trust and Cheat. When a person cheats another person..... It's not coz one who cheated was very smart and intelligent and the other person who got cheated,dumb. It's because another person trusted the cheater a lot...to allow to be cheated. A person who trusts gets cheated often A person who always cheats never trusts anyone. Trust and Cheat never ever get along well. A person who gets cheated...forgets the incident but.....forgets to Trust anyone. Every one has been cheated many times in their lifetime. The reason being...Humans Trust easily....unlike animals. Animals take time to trust others. They always are guarded. Humans are gullible as they are very emotional. An emotional person trusts easily. Then.....is TRUST a sign of weakness? No. The whole world runs on Trust. A child trusts the Parent. Parents Trust the Child. Friendships are made on Trust. Relationships survive the test of time only if there is Trust. A Doctor can heal a patient only if there...

 MBBS, exams,results..... MBBS is a very lengthy course.4 and half years Followed by 1 year of compulsory Internship. The first year has only 3 subjects Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry.  Dhurandhar.Part 1. They are a medical student 's first experience and exposure to human body and understanding the mechanisms inside. The 1st internal exam....is an eye opener as to how vast,deep and difficult the course and subjects are. for every medical student. Throughout their lives,these students have been toppers and always seen their scores 💯....Perfect or near Perfect.  I was shocked to see " Single Digit" score out of 100....in the 1st interval exam taken in the 3rd month of our joining the course by the Anatomy department.  Luckily, I hadn't gone out on a duck. Remorse,Ashamed,Angry....I had written so much....Yet..... I searched other's scores..... Heaved a sigh! All were single digit except one girl..... The result of this internal exam reached home. A very inte...

 In every Father....there is a Hitler!!!! I heard a male cousin remark.... when his wife commented that he was strict and reserved with their son. I wasn't married that time. Most Fathers I had seen were reserved,didn't interact much with their kids and were busy as sole financial provider of the Family. A mother 's Love and Sacrifice for the kid and Family is more emotive. Mother spends more time with kid at home. Her love is seen openly while she nurtures,cares,cooks favorite dish,wipes tears by end of saree pallu,.....multiple acts of love. Mother  is more vocal about her feelings to the child. Mother is the Extrovert amongst the Parents. Father remains " The Hitler ".  Strict,authoritative,disciplinarian.  Few words....mostly as reprimand. Most Fathers are less emotive about their feelings.  But......a Father loves and cares about the child equally....as much as the Mother. It's only when the child grows into a mature Adult does he understand the love of t...

  Mama,I miss you! A post by a working mother sent me Deja Vu. She had promised her 7yr son that evening they would do some craft activity together. But her office work extended and she came home late. She tried to compensate her absence by buying a gift for him.Though the child didn't speak anything, but his eyes expressed hurt.....as if asking " Am I not important for you?" As a busy freelance private practicing Anaesthesiologist, my work did keep me away from home for extended hours. I did have help from husband, inlaws,parents and caretakers. They took good care of my both children. Yet.....my 7yr old came to me one day" Mama,I miss you. I feel it's been days I haven't seen you. " The guilt of every working woman. Time spent with loved ones...especially the children when they are vulnerable age. Inspite of having so many people shower them love and attention.....my little one still missed me. This post doesn't judge working women. This...

 Stories of Anaesthesia  Every day,each patient teaches Life Lessons.  As Anaesthesiologist, I see patient in their most vulnerable situations.  Paediatric patients are not aware of the complexity of the disease they are suffering especially if it is a chronic disease like Cancer,Autoimmune disease. It's the Parent who plays a very important role in calming the child during the procedures and treatment. The child can be irritable or adamant or fussy . An 8 yr old girl was having cough ,loss of appetite and loss of weight for a long duration.  She was on multiple treatment and had been consulting many Doctors in many Metros.  For her every scan,she visited the Scan Centre I am Anaesthesiologist.  Initially, the child out of Ignorance, cooperated for Anaesthesia.  But later,the multiple hospital stays,prolonged treatment  and weakness made the little girl irritable and adamant. The accompanying mother used all possible methods to coax the child...
