VIOLENCE AGAINST DOCTORS







 


VIOLENCE AGAINST DOCTORS:

I ve been working in the ED for the past one year and We(My Team) hav reverted atleast 10 patients who went into Cardiac arrest and stabilized more than 1000 critical patients..We did our Job..We get paid for it..!

We hav thousands of Medical Professionals working round the CLOCK in ED where we play Tug of War between Life and Death and We never want to loose the game..Trust me "NEVER"..We remain unnoticed,away from the limelight not wanting name nd fame...

Some random person finds a suitcase of cash along the road,displays a rare act of Honesty,returns it.(99.9percnt of us wont)He is hailed by every Media and becomes a Hero..!Hav We forgetten that Returning something which is not ours has become a great dead due to its Rarity and is nothing but basic humanity..?And since Doctors saving patients is not a Rarity but a Vast Majority,We dont care about them and dont give the recognition and praise they deserve..?

We dont demand praise nd recognition,Bt to the contrast do we deserve to get beaten up for the misfortunes that happen..?Have you ever been in a stressful situation dealing with Life And Death?We do it on a daily basis..!

Not "Everyone" is perfect..! No profession is Sacred..!The percentage between Good vs Bad matters, politicians fall in the bottom,whereas Doctors r in the very Top..!Even the most money minded,greedy doctor will not want his patient to get worse..NO ONE

When U hav a 9-5 job,We have 24hours shift..!

We smell the vomitus of a stranger who has consumed poison to check if it is OPC..

We check ur shit to know if u have malena..

We get spit by drunken patients..

We get splashed with blood while arresting a bleeder..

We get woken up at 3am in the morning for a headache since 3days nd since he has to go to work by 4,visit the doctor at 3..

And many of U prefer going to the casualty in the evening rather than opd in the morning to avoid queues nd fast consultation...

In addition to all this,getting attacked by an Angry Mob...

Is this all worth the struggle we face? Is it worth to be a doctor?We r not saints to treat u despite being treated as such..

That doctor is soo greedy..He has 3 clinics and is teaching in a medical college too..Its true that he wants to earn money..Bt who doesnt want to?He is earning his money by  making u healthy..A barber in a hifi saloon charging 200 for a haircut is fine..Bt a Doctor charging 100 as consultation fee to make u get better from ur illness is pure greed..So R U valuing ur health less than ur HAIR?

One of the major reasons for Violence against Medical Professionals is becoz of the potrayal of Doctors in such a way..

Few examples Arjun Reddy/Varma/Kabir Dhas: Alcoholic,Psychotic,Dope.

Mersal:Doctors should get rs.5

Vettayadu Vilayadu:Psychotics

Ennai Arindhal:Organ thieves

Media should think and act sensibly...What U convey sets the mood of a the common mass..We dont ask for Praise and Glory..We seek Peace and Safety..

And to dear Mamta Didi,who articulated the Golden Words "Police Man die in their duty,Do they Go on a Strike"

I honestly didnt know Being a doctor comes with the job description of "Chance of Being Killed by a angry mob"

If so I guess the same descriptions applies for politicans too,And I wonder Why Indian Cities burned when political leaders were assasinated

Of the many professions Am proud that "I get PAID for saving LIVES..!"

ECG Made Easy(Part-2)

P wave: P wave denotes atrial contraction. Look for P wave in lead II.  Normal P wave measures 2.5mm tall and 3mm wide. Absent P wave with an irregularly irregular rhythm may indicate Atrial Fibrillation. Tall peaked P wave is called P pulmonale and indicates Right Atrial Enlargement. Broad Biflid P wave is called P mitrale and indicates Left Atrial enlargement. Inverted P wave indicates Atrial ectopic If PR interval is less than 3 small boxes, the origin of ectopic is AV node If PR interval is more than 3 small boxes,the origin is elsewhere from the atrium. PR Interval: It is measured between beginning of P wave to beginning of QRS complex. It represents spread of impulse from SA node to the ventricular tissues. It measures about 3-5 small boxes. The significance of PR interval is diagnosis of heart blocks. Heart Blocks: 1st Degree Heart block: Prolonged PR interval more than 5 small boxes indicate 1st degree Heart block. 2nd Degree Heart block:(Mobitz Type 1): This is characteris...

My First Intubation

Though I've intubated a few times during my residency it really doesn't count because, I was never alone. My backup with loads of experience was standing right next to me. We also had a videolaryngoscope and a fibreoptic bronchoscope just in case. But once I was out of Medschool, I was all alone, on my own.    I got into my job right the next day of getting registered to the Medical Council (just bragging). My designation was "Emergency Care Physician" in an Emergency Care and Stabilization Centre in Chennai.Chennai as you may know is a large city with a huge population and hence a huge TRAFFIC. In case of any emergency, shifting the patient from the scene to a tertiary care centre costed the valuable 'golden hours' and mortality was pretty high. To overcome this, Govt came up with the idea of Emergency Care Centres scattered within the city,which would serve as stabilization centres and I started my career in one such centre. It was my second week of joining ...

Identifying Arrhythmias (Part-2)

Tachyarrhythmia: Broadly Tachyarrhythmias are classified based on their origin into two main types. SUPRA VENTRICULAR VENTRICULAR Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmia: As the name implies, the impulse originates above the level of AV node. Sinus Tachycardia: HR more than 100 with upright P wave followed by QRS complex is termed as Sinus Tachycardia. It has a variety of causes and the most probable cause of  each case should be identified. Atrial Fibrillation: Absent P wave with an irregularly irregular rhythm may indicate Atrial fibrillation. The more specific term is Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response when the HR is more than 100. When the patient is connected to an ECG monitor, You will find the heart rate fluctuating to a wide range from 100-160. Atrial Flutter: Atrial flutter can be easily identified on an ECG from the presence of Flutter waves which gives a saw tooth appearance. The baseline could not be identified. PSVT: When the term Paroxysmal Supraventricular ...
