How Soooo "NOT" to treat your students...............

I'm currently  working  with an attending who completely ignored my presence. Not too unusual in med school. But,I got pretty upset when the attending respond  to every question I asked by turning to the resident and replying to him. He didn't want to stoop so low as to talk to a med student. Arrogant ass. 

I wish he can only read this post :x

Pimping... us Poor Med Students

The art of Pimping: pimping occurs when an attending physician (the Pimper) poses a series of difficult questions to a resident or medical student (the Pimpee).
Pimping usually occurs in settings such as “morning report” or “attending rounds,” in which trainees at various levels convene with a faculty member to review patients currently under their care.
So what is the cure?
  • Avoidance, Do not have visual contact with the teacher
  • The Muffin, the pimpee holds a large muffin in the dominant hand with the elbow flexed, and slowly makes motions with the elbow that move the muffin toward and away from the mouth, somewhat like the graphical lines representing the attitudes of focus group
    members used by television networks while watching the recent presidential debates (ie, closer to the mouth if the pimpee does not know the answer, further if he or she does)
  • The Hostile Response, respond in a hostile fashion, both with the tone of voice and body language. Most pimpers don’t like taht and refrain from further questioning at that instance and near future
  • The Pimpee should just repeat the response given by a previous respondent and pretend he or she did not hear it
  • Honorable Surrender, tell the pimper you are uncomfortable
  • Pimp Back, pimpers usually do not like to be pimped so be careful
  • The Politician’s Approach, do not answer the question that the attending asked but talk straight to the audience (ie, ignore the pimper) by answering a question you would have preferred being asked
  • Pimpers might avoid students with visible PDAs because they know these students can pimp back
  • Do Not Sulk/Cry, pimpees who answer incorrectly should not become overly discouraged. Pimpers rarely remember students who give wrong answers (especially to difficult questions); they often remember those who lose their composure
This article also has advice for pimpers but they can find out themselves, besides they are the one’s abusing their position.The lesson is to not take pimping too seriously and remember that often more can be learned from incorrect answers than from correct ones.

Dear Best Friend,

I have always wanted to tell you that I feel really lucky to have you as friend. I like it when you remember each and every little thing about me. You're the first one to wish me on my b'day every year since the time we've known each other.I like how you share each and every secret of yours with me that aren't known even to your special friend . I like it when you try to advice me, telling me to be strong  and practical, even though you yourself are so soft-hearted . I  feel so good when I ask you for a favor and you do much more than what I asked you for.I have never felt  so much comfortable with anyone as I am with you because you have always accepted me as I am- with my strengths and weaknesses-you've seen the worst side of me as well.
The most amazing thing about our friendship is whenever I am sad, you are always the first one to realize it.I don't know how you do this( if it's some telepathy or something) . You truly are one of my strengths. Even though you are hundreds of miles away from me, still you've never forgotten me.  I hope our friendship  keep on strengthening in the years to come.

Nasty Post ...

So many things happening at the same time. My head,  my heart and my body just cannot take it right now.

I am stressed... naah! over-stressed... :| 

Things are just not falling into place all of a sudden... I feel over-burdened...pressed for time.. .weird...cranky..

The people I thought will understand me are acting so weird... I really can't recognize this...

Another thing is : I hate it when someone tries to be all mahaan with me and make me feel that I crib to them subah shaam and they are sweet souls who just listen to me coz they are forced to.

I did try to share some part of my life with people, tried to open up to some friends... But like I have been saying always.. this is BULLSHIT.

Everyone wants to share your happiness or be with you when you are all happy, funny and pepped up... Nobody cares for you when you are down and low..I KNOW THAT..

I am not going to trouble you with any shit anymore... if I ever did.. and you think I did... 

Let us share only happy stuff.. let us be happy happy frenz... coz it is better to know that you will not be there from the very beginning.

I am stupid!! I should not have even tried to talk about myself...

Bloody, no one gives a shit.. No one really does..

Yes! I know everyone has problems...I know everyone faces tough times.. and I am not comparing your problem to mine.. or mine to yours... May be I am not tough enuff for mine... and you are great enough for urs.... but let's get it straight... I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT MYSELF ever again to any so called friend...


Coz, bullshit.. no one cares...

Dah! I am too nasty... am I not? *shrugs* Disown me!! I don't care... 

I'd rather be alone than suffer time n again... *Hibernates*

Hate me for this!

selfish Sun...........

I'm a little like the Sun, I do think the world revolves around me, but I think I'm not as utterly selfish as that sounds. It's simple, I only  see the world through my own eyes, the people in my life are the only people I believe to be significant& to truly have some real importance to my own well-being& happiness- I do genuinely care about the world& its' inhabitants, it's just that the present moment matters a tiny bit more.

I've been told countless times that I'm selfish& I believe that the world revolves around my existence, I've just stopped fighting it& think that because my attention is focused on fewer matters, I can concentrate in a more purposeful manner.

Soulmate ...

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

The Good, The Bad and Me the Boss !!

I like digging inside myself, and try to find out what’s inside of me. This is my favourite pastime. What I see is a reflection of the places I have passed, and times I have been through. I love myself when I’m happy, and hate myself when I’m. Also makes me realize that I’m a bigtime “Hypocrite”. Oh, by that word, I remember, it’s kind of over used these days. This reminds me, the Good and the Bad in me had this engrossing conversation the other day.
I thought I enlighten you with some of it…
1.The Good: “You are a hypocrite”
The Bad: “So what, everyone is, you are a hypocrite too… Even though I don’t like judging people, still, you are a hypocrite too…”
2. The Good: “Politicians are hypocrites”
The Bad “If you make money in your profession it’s ok, if the politicians become the best in their “business”, you “hypocrite” them… Not fair.”
3. The Good: “Sadhu baba on TV is a hypocrite”
The Bad: “Poor Sadhu baba was too engrossed with divine objects, and fantasized about apsaras in heaven. Obviously he didn’t have any time to study, and poor soul couldn’t get a job, neither would anyone marry a gross bearded man like him, so INDIA TV to the rescue, we all lived happily ever since…”
4. The Good:   Or like ...“The Professor who stands infront of the ladies hostel gate and slaps all the boys who try doing the same, is a hypocrite”
The Bad: “Come on, have some respect for your own professor. He is old now, his wife is beyond menopause now, and she ain’t attractive no more, he plays with metamorphic rocks all day with students, imagine his life.... He is just feeding his fantasies for one last time, and you are not supposed to disturb the old man.”
5. The Good: in Indian colleges  “1st year students protesting against ragging, and next year doing it themselves, are all bloody hypocrites”
The Bad: “Hey come on, you have to save your ass whenever you can. No one likes getting beat up, but when it comes to beating a defenseless kid; it doesn’t hurt you, does it? And just because you didn’t have the balls to hit juniors doesn’t mean they’ll be a pansy like you are…”
6. The Good: “People calling other people ‘despo’, when they themselves are worse than that, are hypocrites”
The Bad: “Oh, you got that ‘despo’ tag, didn’t you? Ah, that must have hurt… Just because you write a blog about how a girl ditched you, doesn’t take away the embarrassment. Poor you… “
7. The Good: “People getting pissed at my blog, because there’s too much truth involved, are hypocrites”
The Bad: “ Everyone can’t handle the truth, we are all humans. And you don’t always have to be right, you are a hypocrite too, remember?”
The Good: “Oh ya, sorry, I almost forgot…”
8. The Good: “Media people showing a girl getting molested, and cribbing about it, are hypocrites”
The Bad: “Look at it from their point of view. The media person’s livelihood depends on the TRPs, the ads… And anyways, it makes great reality TV. And if you’r so concerned about her, why don’t you SMS your deep regrets to 56789, or you can twitter: #RT @cnn  justice for molested girl”
9. The Good: “People with Red flags, stopping people from going to work, are hypocrites”
The Bad: “C’mon, imagine you being a part of a group, and you have no job. Suddenly someone offers you free lunch for raising havoc, would you refuse the offer? It’s an offer you can’t refuse. If you are too lazy to work, you must not allow anyone else to work and tread the path of development. Get it?”
10. The Good: People killing people, in the name of something-that-does-not-exist, are hypocrites”…
The Bad: “Hey C’mon, something-that-does-not-exist??? You mean God??? You must not make fun of him, or else he will punish you (Even though he teaches to forgive n forget).
Listen dude, you got to kill some innocent people in order to catch people’s attention. People must know how important God is in our lives, and even though some souls are unfortunate enough to lose their lives, you must always remember, God is watching us, and HE LOVES YOU…”
The Good: “Oh God, oops, I mean, Oh “Something-that-does-not-exist”, this could go on and on…”
