Neocortical Impulses!

tomorrow is officially our last day of internship, but because of a 4 day strike we went on, in the beginning of internship last year, we have got to do a 4 day extension:( socials coming up on 9th, graduation day on 13 th(as of now). am already feeling so bad about internship coming to an end,about college life in general coming to an end.... can`t imagine how it`ll be without your closest friends around you;am surely going to miss everything about bmc. am feeling pretty depressed even as i type this.... but life has to go on, we have to move on to greater (?ad)ventures in life,isn`t it?

Ya I know it has been a long long time, but I couldn`t really help it. Am in the last days of my internship, 5 more days left to be precise. Right now, I am in pediatrics posting,juniors have arrived and am hoping I am done with all night duties-having done one just 2 days back. This is the most relaxed I have felt in a long time, also the most bored! Just dunno what to do-spent time today playing mafia wars on facebook! Nice job for a doc eh? Looking forward to our graduation day, hopefully a class trip(have never gone on one till now) as well. More updates later.

my community medicine postings got over on friday,i began and ended it with postings in k.g.halli.,with isolation hospital and siddiaiah road referral hospital in between,not to mention the 4 day strike as well! i am actually sad that community med postings got over,it is the best and easiest part of our postings and what a pity it was first for me. this is the first time that i am actually sad at something getting over in comm med! will miss k.g.halli for sure! started medicine postings from saturday and i have been posted to the psychiatry department for the first fifteen days. have already seen some interesting and weird cases, including 2 schizophrenia cases and a social phobia case who was so overcome that he had attempted suicide 3 times. i was initially interested in psychiatry as a career,but seeing cases here, i am starting to worry about them more than they worry about themselves and more than i should be worrying about them. so psychiatry is not an option for me now.....

ya i know its been a long time since i posted,been a bit busy and feeling really lazy! i was busy when i was posted in isolation hospital-what with 18 hours continuous duty when i had night duties.....but it was a very informative experience. never in my life had i seen a rabies patient,managed to see one here,poor people they are,nothing much can be done to save them! also,3 tetanus cases were there in the wards when was finishing my posting there,1 patient had expired just the previous day....had never seen these patients too. so people reading this post,be warned-prevention is better than cure. get anti rabies vaccination when bitten by a dog and tetanus toxoid injection when you have a penetrating wound. also wash the sites with liberal amounts of soap and water. right now,i have been posted in siddiah road referral hospital-urban and family welfare centre. not much work here actually, its only on mondays and fridays-when there is ante-natal care clinic that we will be really busy.

my long time friend brocasarea has given me yet another award: thanks a lot man! :)

no,i am not saying that, dont get any ideas in your head! its a song,a really beautiful one at that, one which i never get tired of listening to..... i think the music composition and lyrics are by hamsalekha. and is the singer yesudas,because on the video posted on the youtube site,one person thinks it may be jayachandran.... anyone has more info pls comment.... here is the video embedded.... i have not posted this video on youtube. all credit goes to the original poster. the link on the youtube page itself is posted below the video. enjoy one of the most beautiful songs ever: Link

the d-day had finally arrived on monday,9th of march,2009. it was going to be my first day as intern! having gotten up earlier than i had in more than a month,i trudged off,full of enthusiasm and a little anxiety, to college to the community medicine department to collect the posting order and arrived at the place well before 9am. but not a single soul was to be seen,other than 2 0r 3 other first day interns like me.... it was well after 10.00 am when someone concerned with our posting order arrived, but it was almost 3.30 pm by the time we got the orders and my first posting was in k.g.halli, a.k.a kadugondanna halli.... not really rural,the place itself is in bangalore but the facilities are pretty rural! in the meantime, i did open an account in the nearby sbi bank where our stipends are sent and we also found time for a long overdue birthday and results treat of a close friend!the food and pricing were both awesome at roti ghar in basavangudi.... the next day was a holiday,but we s
