A prayer !

-
Lockdown has been extended and still the cases are increasing.....its a hard time for all of us but this is temporary I know...so to get us through this phase let's say a prayer!

Dear Dhanvantari ( being Indian )

Hope that people start taking public health seriously
Let us start preventing before curing
Let us not take our immunity for granted
Pray that herd immunity sets in soon
Pray that people look at the bigger picture and not just their own needs.
Pray that the Government looks at the individual needs along with the bigger picture.
Pray that social distancing works and the curve flattens


Praying for the health of all health care workers
Praying for the health of all police personnel
Praying for the health of all sanitary department workers
Praying for the health all ambulance drivers
Special mention should be made of interns residents and their family members.
Give them strength to work in the hospital
Praying for all health care leaders who are managing the show and not deterring.

Let positive be the word not sought after by them.( swab reports*)


Let people find new ways of engaging themselves from home.
Let people learn more about themselves and become stronger.
Let there be more happiness giving light in times of darkness.
Let there be hope.

( My colleague was tested positive so I was quarantined till I got my test results....got them today ...Negative ....yaay! So I guess back to work with extra precautions...I guess somebody prayed for me too)

The Corporate Community Doctor

My first blog was on Being a Community Medicine doctor. I expressed how difficult it was to explain my specialization to random aunties. It wasn't love at first sight - me choosing this branch. But accepting whatever came to me and falling in love with the subject as I explored all the nooks and crevices of this subject in detail. I found this subject as a very useful tool to provide medical services to the community at large. I said in that blog what's in a name? What is the need to call it community medicine and not Preventive and Social Medicine.  But applying this subject and the learnings for more than two and a half years (well not that much of an experience timewise)  I have realized that community medicine is actually a better name.  PSM makes people focus just on the preventive aspect. But Community Medicine is just more than prevention of a disease. Prevention is an important part - YES!  But there are a lot of things which go unnoticed by general public or...

Let’s talk Depression “I don’t feel normal” Sneha told her mother. “What is not normal? You get up, you do your chores ,you study ,you have food with us , you laugh at jokes ,watch T.V. Everything is norml my child, you must be feeling hungry, go eat something then you will feel better.” Sneha’s mother answers her.What could possibly be wrong? Sneha is a graduate MBBS doctor studying for her entrance exams. She is beautiful, she is intelligent ,she is independent. But she doesn’t feel normal. She wants to tell somebody. She goes to her friends who tell her to just chill, stress is a compulsory part of life these days.It’s just a phase. Life will be better when she gets a post-graduate seat, they tell her. Her mother doesn’t even think that anything is wrong. But Sneha is a doctor, she knows this is not normal. She gets that sinking feeling in her abdomen. Sometimes she gets up early in the morning but still doesn’t feel fresh. Wa...

Being a community medicine doctor!

Random aunty in society asking,"So what are you doing these days?" "I am doing M.D in Nair hospital."I say proudly hoping to avoid further questions. "Oh great! What specialization?" The inevitable question comes for which I know I would have to spend sufficient time and energy answering it. P.S.M .....Who does that?It is nobody's first choice.Random aunties don't even know about it and they think that I am pursuing some new found branch.....which makes me look good in front of her ...but seriously P.S.M people are thought of as those who build latrines for poor people and who take advantage of so many bank holidays. Oh Ok sorry its not P.S.M anymore.Its Community Medicine....Gives it a clinical feel.Makes us feel more like doctors rather than social workers.But does it really mater what we call ourselves.Think.What we do as preventive doctors is just secondary.The name matters.Fancy!. Ok so I am Dr Rucha doing M.D. Community Medicine in T.N....
