Some crap medical interns will sympathize with!

So....so many things took place on my work front in the past week that I've not written here. Am not going to grumble AGAIN about people who are much more interested in my life than their own. Instead I pick up an incidence I came across that boils my blood every time I think of it.

This happened 2 days ago.

After working for all day long....I got a call from the hospital saying the RMO has asked me to report. Confused as I was, I inquired fo what it was...and the angry voice said..."what does that mean? You just have to be here"

I had to clear it up with the operator that he can't just call me whenever they want...coz after all m just an intern. So I changed and left for the hospital to clear things up.
There was this lady, whom I saw for the first time, who was the on call doctor sitting near the operator's desk. It was her voice earlier.
She said....go with man to the ambulance, you gotta leave for the village and check BP of 60 people.!
.....I denied...and there she was....her voice louder than the Civil Surgeon can actually use...telling me why I shouldn't be a doctor.
I was tongue tied as she was my senior but nevertheless with all that she spoke I was sure ..not helping her out was a good decision. Coz actually that was her job. Her shift was getting over at 8 and it was past 6:30 when this conversation took place. And seated in the operators room she was hunting for a prey.

Fuck her..my brain said....You say I shouldn't have been a doctor...but with this attitude of urs you should have been an Whore. She's paid for her freaking job, I'm not even given a stipend for any of my services. On top of that I PAY. I do my duty in the hours I'm supposed to. I'm even willing to do it if I was forewarned. But you can't squeeze out work from me at your disposal...n with those words. It's not like...I cannot take swearing from my seniors..I can. It's just people like that annoy me to such an extent that I can endure anything else.
Indian govt. colleges have made such bulls as doctors. Damn. I mean ...even I had seniors....but after that one year we all just got along fine.

Phew.....hate hate hate her. She's a temporary MO at our hospital.

I guess...I'll be having real fun working around her =D

One day....

There is a point in everyone's life when we ask ourselves why actually we've chosen a certain field as our careers. And trust me, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

"I should have...; if only...; that went wrong...; ugh....; I don't wanna talk about that...." are the words people keep ready in their mouths waiting for the right trigger to spat them out. I was having a few such occasions when I was ready  to whine how the patients are undisciplined, how the hospital doesn't have enough resources, how the doctors just don't care enough, how the paramedical staff is lazy. And the list goes on.
Of course it came way early for me as compared.
Whatever!

So....today...me...appointed as the Emergency Medical Officer (due to lack of working MO's) ..was at the Casualty the entire day starting from 9 in the morning till 8 at night. You've heard about places where time stands still rite?.....well....I lived it!

When I came home I just had one word to describe it..."Nasha!"

Man....getting back the pulse of a patient with Cardiogenic shock following an infarction is such an achievement!
4 Patients with Rat poison ingestion....and the way they stabilize...huh! For a day I felt so alive...and time flew..I don't know how. My brain was so concentrated on each of the patient that no other thought even mingled in the darkest corner of my messed up brain!

There I was..among people dying and people crying...giving both of them hope ..of whatever is left with me.
I always thought I cannot work under pressure but I was so wrong.

I can..I sure can Bitch!
It's been 2 months that I 've started my internship and have been polishing my 'physician skills' consulting patients. Won't say burning my ass in the OPD chairs was a mistake coz those 2 months gave me good friends and once again told me how good I can teach (ahem ahem =D )

Well, with everyone gone and finished up with their work...this was an excellent individual start I could have ever have had!
