Heya!
I am a very gentle person, I am usually incapable of shouting at people, when I see my seniors shouting at patients and their attendants I feel bad... Sometimes in labour room(while I was posted in obs and gyne) when I used to explain patient or their attendants anything in detail my JR's would say,"why are you waiting so much of time, they would keep asking if you would keep explaining." but I used to personally feel that patients should be explained everything so that they can weight their options...
But you know that phenomenon of how you learn while you do... I realized some of the lot deserve a little tough talk... But you can not be rude to people all of a sudden, the transition took place slowly in me... Now I tell patients what they required to know... I don't cry afterwards when I see a very sick or poor patient (once I could not control my tears in front of the patient who was polio affected and was in labour... But that's another story) and I've improved my explaning skills, which includes telling patients enough that they can get there job done and not fuss much.
Today a patient came and told me that he's been vomiting since morning and no other associated complaints, Senior Medical officer was standing there and he asked me to write his prescription. As patient was not having any Vomiting at that time sir thought of giving him a pantop shot and refer to medicine.
I wrote it down and gave him his emergency opd slip...
After a while the patient came with a guy who was enquiring about why did I gave him pantop, I was like ''why do u care?" and he just bored me with illogical questions and comments stating that the patient suffered a bleb at the site of injection... "I said you go and talk to SMO"
He went there and exaggerated the bleb into swelling... I opposed then he said it was a large swelling but now it has reduced, I lost my composure and said, "isn't it fine that it is reduced in size now??" a little frustrated...
When the guy was gone... My JR told me... He's your senior in pathology department...
I was taken aback for a while... Then SMO sir cooled me down saying "he's ainwai person"
All I had said meant that, reduced swelling is a good sign and should not make them worry. But I guess my attitude ruined it all...
He's not too much of important person... But there can be... First of all I should not have been saying stuff when he was talking our SMO, second I should've explained him why I had written that prescription...
Anyways... Days done and gone... See what happens next...😜
