this is a just an attempt to open to people about the things that i think about, cry about, laugh about and joke about. it is an effort to just portray the enormously varied and difficult lifestyle of a medical student.

projects are patients
conferences are case dicussions
deadlines are simply dead people!
so its a whole lot of different world out here...a world that is easy for who want be in it but difficult for those who have a slightest of doubts...
We laugh a lot..crack jokes that other seem incomprehensible....its not that we have a real bad sense of humour!!
its just that the laughter is our oxygen....it gives us an escape route to forget the pain for a moment....a pain that haunts every doctor!!
we can never treat every patient we see....we cannot give life everytime we want
sometime or the other we are bound to kill a person who could have been potentially saved just if we would have slept well the previous night.....scary right...yes i guess so
It is knowledge of the fact that we cannot live upto the expectations of all haunts us to our graves and perhaps leads us to more and more laughter......

Masters of Death....The greatest teacher
life isnt simple anymore.....it has its ways to teach people
just few years back i was an arrogant man tryin to prove to the world that i am the best in this world.....i am the best undergraduate that there would be...More importanly i was tryin to prove to my family and myself..
But 5 years of this medicine has changed me..life isnt what it used to be
Patients are wonderful teachers. They withstand so much..just to teach us a few tricks of the trade so that we can earn money and fame when we earn our degrees...
How many of doctors really remember that old man they saw as a 'MAST CASE' who was suffering from esophageal carcinoma....how many of us really remember that one day old baby on which we practised Moro's reflex.....how many of us realll thought what eventually happened with that mentally retarded child whose mother was not feeding him breast milk coz he would become a liability...
probably another part of me will say that it is not possible to remember those...they are just clinical materials for us( for the lack of which, we always complain of!)....
But whatever maybe the reason...eventually it turns out that life teaches us..the medical students to toughen up...to see pain just as a clinical sign....to put it in words one of my professors used to say that doctors seek pleasure in pain...for it fills up their deep pockets!!
ironical isnt it....we just forget that we can die.........
Surrounded by death....we just decide to overlook the dead...
Perhaps that is life and that is what it expects us to be...us the masters of death...
