Neocortical Impulses!

this is the first real sunday-holiday i`ve had since i started at moh. had the full day off today,got up later than i had in maybe 5 years.... it`s been quite a boring day overall till now,i just dont know what to do. i was longing for a holiday and when i finally got one,i dont know what to do.... maybe i`ll watch a movie later in the day;for now, its time for lunch-i know its a little late,but i did start the day very late.... found this video while browsing youtube

it was with mixed feelings that i had ended my last real post and i start this one with the same mixed feelings. i am happy for having been lucky enough to get a pg seat in my first attempt in bmcri-m.s.ophthalmology! yet,it was not the first subject in my order of preference..... i still miss my ug days at bmcri .... with great power comes great responsibility, haha .... i have quite a responsible job now,cant get away,now, with mistakes that might have been forgiven in internship. being in school was better than being in college was better than being in mbbs was better than being an intern was better than being a pg..... change is the order of nature and life has to move on,so be it.... onto greater (ad)ventures then!

brought back fond memories from my childhood!

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.
