a cylist

rode my new[actually my bro's] cycle trek3700 today....could covered just 14kms in 1hr 20mins....this is the first time am riding a geared mountain bike and think its pretty cool

moral of the story-

1-bang traffic sucks really

2-never ever listen to ur mom regarding directions

3-my stamina is too poor...

p.s-

15 days of day duty[labour] coming up from sund....am already sweating!!:(

miracleS

miracles in life-

1-a just born asphyxiated baby surviving after almost 10 minutes of nonstop cpr[by myself and a paediatrician]+adrenaline trail....we had almost decided to declare it dead to the party concerned...after successfull resuscitation it was shifted to nicu immediately.[but our concern was the amount of brain damage baby would have suffered due to the episode]

2-a lady delivering a "healthy" baby instead of urinating in bathroom...

3-an anaemic mother surviving the delivery and coming out of it as healthy as any mother....

4-me not delivering a single baby yestersay in 24 hours

p.s-

god is indeed sending his much needed blessings upon the needy!;)

she came,saw and delivered.....referring to a patient whom i delivered within minutes of getting admitted at 4 in the morning

p.s-

yesterday was my coolest duty...only one delivery in 24 hrs with lots of sleep in between;)!!

do nos matter?

3+3+6+4=16!

p.s-

no of deliveries conducted by me till now[in 4 days]....

my twitter link...http://twitter.com/pratapu[just in case]

little moments of joy

i feel overwelmed and indeed very happy when i-

-see the baby's head suddenly popping out of the mothers womb[oops!] and rotates[called restitution]

-for the first time hold the baby in my hands and direct it towards the mother lying there exhausted[really appr them for this kind of hardship they undergo]....

-take the baby for suctioning and on putting the tube inside its tiny nose it Sneezes[atchoo!!]

p.s-

just check this out...a womans quest for 100 kisses in paris....wth!

a senior staff in my college to my friend[male!] "tell me if u taking mrcs exams,even i will take so that we can study TOGETHER"!!!!...wth[2]

 

Delivery man

after 12 hours of labour duty-

i have delivered[independently] 3 babies[statistically quite less compared to my other cointerns]

assisted for about another 3!!...

p.s-

still amazed[and surprised] with the way i conducted my first one...just some moves here and there and within a few secs i had a healthy female child crying in my gloved hands[for which the mother gratefully thanked me!!:)]

Mr Catcher

My first day in obg was as wierd as it can get....first of all its a subj which seems so greek and latin to me[learning theory and doing it practically r so diffn] and a 12 hour continous night shift in the first day itself was something hard to digest[though we had done many double duties in med]...Luckily now am in a ward[srlw] where cases r quite less and luckily i can sleep atleast for 4-6 hours during night shifts.

p.s-

1-yesterday as soon i entered the room i saw many preg ladies lying on the bed ready to be delivered...it was such a weird feeling...didnt know wht to say or do..i just had to like a zombie roam around a bit for some company[other cointerns:P]

2-from drugs to equipments used seemed new as if i had read this subj long back...guess i have to do my home work properly...!:(

3-2 days brk now...next duty is on sunday!!...

4-the best part is that sisters do most of the work here[unlike in med,surgery] and we just have to sit back and order them/impress them[?]!!..;)

life goes on

new place,new people,new work!!...

atlast my surgery postings came to an end today with a pre-ot duty...didnt had much work[post duty] except for preparing 4 patients for ot tomo....finally had to say bye to our pgs and come home..Obg[from tomorrow] now will be in a diffn hosp with diffn setup,people and faculty!!...[wish me good look!!:)]

p.s-

me doing my last wound suturing @ casualty on monday night.....it was a classical assault case with a chisel!![as usual]!!..lol..

could anyone make out tht am a lefty?;)

updates

a very beautiful song sung by Md rafi..."Likhe Jo Khat Tujhe"

p.s-

1-just 2 more days in surgery!

2-watched taking of pelham 123....it rocks![just like any other Denzil washington movie]

3-down with a leaking tap[running nose]...perhaps a nosocomial infection[or swine flu?!-who cares!:P].

Quote of the day

"Do not try to imitate the lark or the nightingale if you can t do it. If it s your destiny to

croak like a toad, then go ahead! And with all your might! Make them hear you!" -

Louis-Ferdinand Celine

A day at the casualty

yesterdays night duty was one of the worst night shifts i had in surgery....

10-12 pain abdomen cases who come all the way from remote places and that too most of the times  @ around 12 in the midnight....

5-6 rta[road traffic accident] cases 

countless assault cases[bread and butter of surgery emergency!!] with bruises,cuts and broken bones.....[one old fellow had got punched directly on the face and one of his tooth had fallen off....now how the hell am i supposed to find a dentist in the middle of the night!!]

p.s-

bullet i got to see from the pistol of the DGP who had come for a shootout case[with the victim].

boozer money

money from indian Boozers finally paid off with force india's fisichella finishing second in the Belgian Grand Prix today....truely a historic day for indian sports

p.s-

10 more days in surgery than its OBG!!

the taking of pelham 123 movie trailer looks awesome in the trailers...hope i see it next week

dumping ground

any 3rd rate private hosp[also corporates]/doctor thinks our hosp is a dumping place of patients and send any complicated case to us for the management inspite of knowing ours a govn setup and except for basic facilities[which itself is in acute shortage] have nothing else...truth is everyone just wants to wash their dirty butt and come clean...!!

p.s-

a patient's attender comes at night to us[from emergency wards] at around 1am and tells us that some private doc had told him that as soon as he comes here the patient will  get operated and was questioning us why it hasnt been done so...as if we r some vultures and as soon as the patient enters we pounce on him and take him to ot...wtF!!...

KannadigariGAY :)

Full vodhi.. Yenjoy madi.

The recent High Court ruling on Gays has created quite a stir in
Karnataka and has made the average kannadiga take a re-look at his
daily life.

The native Kannadiga family man wakes up in the morning (belaGAY) and
discovers that his whole family could be GAY.

His father is heard telling his mother : maganGAY, magalGAY, soseGAY.

His wife says appanGAY, ammanGAY, gandanGAY...... and she loves
malliGAY.

He gets ready for breakfast........ thindyGAY. here the talk is about
nanGay, ninGay .

His favorite home-made sweet dish is holGay.

At work, they talk about : YaarGAY,AvaruGAY, IvaruGAY, hinGAY, hanGAY,
elliGAY, alliGAY, bossGAY, secretaryGAY.

At his children's school, it is TeachersGAY, StudentsGAY, puneGAY and so
on.

For entertainment, he goes cinemaGAY

The Judiciary and Police are no different. It is JugdeGAY, PoliceGAY,
KalruGAY and so on.

Even the non-living things are GAY inclined. The Kannadiga says
busGAY, trainGAY, flightGAY.........

Finally, at the end of the day, he heads back home..........maneGAY.

And what does he find on the way.......... the road is lined with
sampiGAY trees.

And deep into the night, his wife tells him methGAY.

death bed[!]

a new swine flu screening centre[opd basis] has been started here and which unfortunately happens to be situated just next our night duty room...!!...

p.s-

one of my co-intern is scared to death!!...rofl!!

last one!

This year i finally made it to the flag hoisting ceremony at our college campus...this was my first time there[and the last] and after going there i realised that am doing it[singing my national anthem and witnessing a flag hoisiting] after 8 long years[last being when i was in 9th] which made me very nostalgic and in fact little patriotic!!...

p.s

1-have taken the snaps which am putting in my private picture blog.

2-everytime i come across our nat anthem i make it a point to standup[atleast try]..how many of u guys indeed do this??

Happy independence day

happy independence day-proud to be an Indian!!

Mr Mask

after much hype by the media this swine flu has really got on peoples nerves...inside our hosp campus these days i see every other person wearing a mask be it a chaprasi,ward boy or the docs who pass through the opds...think i shd get one too for myself tomo[going with the trend]....

swine[not flu]

after 2 back to back duties and no bath inbetween[with plenty of axe] am stinking like an animal...no wonder that the street dog near my house didnt even dare to come near me today.

p.s-1-this time i preferred sleeping during my break in the mornings instead of taking bath!....

2-these days every tom,dick and harry from abroad who gets a cold[or flu symptoms] demands a h1n1 testing to be done and as a result the swine flu ward[in our setup] has become a market like place with long Qs for throat swab cultures....[god i really curse these media people!!]

bribe[?]

a young guy in minor ot today comes straight to me and puts some thing small into my hand and says "its my birthday today"!Co-incidently i did his dressing quite early then and hope others[patients still waiting]out there dont think it just happened coz of the "chocolate" he gave to me.

Animal bite!

A 24 year old man comes to opd and says that he has an wound on his right index finger and needs our immediate attention....when i further enquired about it he said with some hesitation "i was bitten by my 23 yr old friend".Such cases[any bite] usually needs to be done MLC[medicolegal case]here and when i told him about his situation he just disappeared from there and never came back.

p.s-marathon duty coming up...from sunday morning till tuesday afternoon!:([2 back to back duties]

Melody personified

Last week accidently i came across some torrents of some old hindi songs and Jagjit singh's collection was one among them....after listening to some of his songs i have realised what a great voice he has[as many people say] and he has truely mastered the art of blending ones  voice exactly to the singing style which suites them..listening to them these days quite frequently and i really enjoy it.

p.s-once he had commented in an interview-"everyone can be a singer,they shd just know what to sing"

Picture of the day

everymorning when i go to fetch the milk this particular street dog greets me with his tm "namah"....looks like someone is forcing it to be a bakta...lol

It Pays to Remember Names and Faces

Two men approached each other on the street with a look of
recognition in their eyes. One said to the other, "Now wait a
minute, don't tell me, I know I know you, but I'm not sure of
where we met. Let me see if I can think of your name. I've got
it! We met in Miami Beach two years ago."
"No, I've never been to Miami Beach."
"Hold it, don't tell me—oh, yes, it was on the boardwalk
of Atlantic City that we met."
"Sorry, I've never visited Atlantic City."
"I've got it now! Chicago in 1953!"
"Nope, I was not in Chicago in 1953."
"Well, I know we've met, where do I know you from?"
"Idiot! I'm your brother!!"
