ThankYou Vadodara

-

It's been almost 15 years now that I am doing Job here in Vadodara, what its called RMOship, in different hospitals, different atmosphere, with different people & I feel blessed that this city has given me back more than what I deserve, It taught me that if you are ready to work hard & sincerely, Medical feild here is ready to accept you and nourish you, all seniors are supportive and great people, knowledge & healthy discussions are always around you if you look for it, you will get best of health wealth respect everything here in Vadodara.

I want to clarify few basics today what I have understood and learnt being here, being Doctor doesnt always mean being consultant or what society looks at you like or what social media & movies show about it. Its not easy job at all.

There are basically 4 types of doctors

1) Consultant (specialist & superspecialist) who run the main show, in opd n ipd form, managing all sorts of patients from simple cases to most complicated cases.

2) General practitioner or family physician running smaller clinics/set up including Bams Bhms Mbbs and all sorts of doctors who are pillars in India, because they manage quiet a lot of things at their ends which otherwise would not have been possible in hospitals looking at quality & quantity of Indian health care services, I have huge regards for them, few people you will meet amongst them would be doing really great job for their patients, who treat and guide them properly.

3) Doctors who come in between these two categories, called RMO or MO or Residents or Assistant doctors, let me tell you, its very important part of our system, communication is based on these people, in management of patients, as well as in internal hospital matters and with relatives of patients too,
& to become a good assistant means
(specially for BAMS & BHMS doctors)

*your communication should be bang on with patient consultant and your staff, for which your basic knowledge about diseases and patient management is very crucial, without which you will always fumble.

*you should assist your consultant or consultants in diagnosis, treatment and overall management of the patient from start to end.

*you should look after documentation as per need of your organisation because your consultant may not get that time and your staff may not be that capable, file work may be boring but its important and you should know all laws about it and carry out smart work related to files.

*& lastly comes extra skills if you can develop & do independent procedures for your personal & financial growth it would be great thing, ICU duties are something whole together different thing than other jobs in Medical work & it can be explored as much as you can.

4) Doctors who are not part of direct clinical practices, but are engaged in other related & important work, such as management & insurance work, thats all together different field and has great scopes if one can do that efficiently, not only here but has various scopes out of country also, specially for Bhms Ba Doctors, who want to explore new opportunities in foreign countries.

Being an ICU Doctor

-
A doctor must be psychologically fit for this job –able to make decisions under a terrifying amount of pressure, able to break bad news to anguished relatives, able to deal with death on a daily basis. They must have something that cannot be memorized and graded.  A great doctor must have a huge heart and a distended aorta through which pumps a vast lake of compassion and human kindness & medical colleges don't give a shit about all these in academic years. As you might imagine, learning every single aspect of the human body’s anatomy and physiology, plus each possible way it can malfunction & then find a solution for each malfunction/disease, is a fairly giant task in itself & then turning this theory into practice is a huge task ahead after education. During day time you may be able to do these over the years of learning & still accept the failures you come across during your practice.  Then comes one more turnover 'Nights'. You have to be more alert durin

Emergency Medical Services

Note: *This is absolutely different stuff than hospitals and critical care medicine* As per survey conducted by SEMI, Society of emergency medicine in India, in 2017, “With more than 100,000 road traffic related deaths, 98.5% ‘ambulance runs’ transporting dead bodies, 90% of ambulances without any equipment/oxygen, 95% of ambulances having untrained personnel, most ED doctors having no formal training in EMS, misuse of government ambulances and 30% mortality due to delay in emergency care, India portrays a mirror image of the U.S. of the 1960s.” The good news is that EMS has taken firm root in India but still we are far behind in this (best are, 911 in US, EMS in UK and so many others) in respect to quality n quantity of Services n service providers, Density of population being most common point of worry in any service management, here also its a big constraint. Good and Affordable, Air ambulance, Train Ambulance and other things are still far away from us in India. Government is offe

Thanks my friends/colleagues

A loud shoutout to all my colleague/friends, BHMS/BAMS medical officers, Family physicians and General practitioners, All over Vadodara, Gujrat, other states and India, who have worked day and night during this pandemic, putting their lives and families at risk, many of them got infected also with covid but still war was On & its still On,   In this whole year, our medical fraternity was under trouble during this period of Pandemic, in many ways including shortage of manpower, even though GOI and so called NABH has failed over the years to acknowledge contribution from us, neither they could recognize the worth for efforts we put in over the years & not allowing them to do clinic & job legally for their xyz reasons and laws, where as actually education system upgradation is the solution for long term, which is not done in medical and paramedical colleges of India, at the end of the day, Doctor is Doctor, irrespective of Degree. We have still done our best & I am proudly
