Physicians - Dr x

I'm going straight to the point. Physicians are probably one for the most intelligent doctors of them all.

The problem with physicians is that....they are one of the most intelligent doctors of them all.

Let me explain

Now. These guys know sooooo much medicine. They know so much medical knowledge that they would have studied BDS and ayurveda "for the heck of it"
    But the problem is they don't get the patients with complicating symptoms like how they studied. So their knowledge would be just thrown around the place. The biggest example is rounds.
They take *gasp* foreeeever!

Here's an example


Chief: So what case is this?
Pg: sir hes a bronchitis case which got admitted yesterday.
Chief: any complications?
Pg: no signs apart from difficulty in breathing
Chief: Sure there isn't pneumothorax or any CVS related complications?
Pg: we've run the CT scan so we sure there isn't any but we expected during admission
Chief: Aaah. i remember during my college days we used to get only chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases only. We used to have a full ward of respiratory cases.. So what do you think should be done next kaushik?
Me: KILL ME NOW! *cough*...sorry sir. That was an impulse.

Thats my point. They have studied so much that they need to show that they studied so much.
Its the same logic in movies
Director :"Why do you want a shirtless scene?! This is a political drama!"
Actor :"I don't care! I worked out for 7 months. Before these 6 packs go i need to show them!"

Sometimes i feel when you go to a phycisian and say that you have just a fever they are just dissapointed
Doctor:" So is it just a fever? Any vomiting blood or body pain or chills? You sure?"
Me:" No thanks mate. Just a fever is enough for me"

They have all sorts of amazing knowledge......except the basic knowledge of eating or sleeping during the admission days
#sinceritykills

Since a number of respiratory diseases come. They require to auscultate the patient so that means.....wait for it....theyll actually use the steth! Woah! Before medicine posting i had the steth for just ornamental purpose. I felt like Lord Shiva and the steth was my snake

Now don't underestimate the work load. Even though the case won't require that much practical involvement. We get a looot patients during the admission day. You get this feeling like everyone gets sick together like a group forward in a whatsapp group.

Lets not forget about dengue season. That is like the tomorrowland for fever patients. So much admissions! Do you know how scary it is to get a fever during that time?! Youll start believing in karma then!
"OMG! Ive got a fever! I've worked in the dengue ward for too long! I knew it! I shouldnt have shouted at that patient! Ive got Denguuuuuuu.....what? My blood count is normal? Then ok. Phew"

I want to finish by saying i really respect these physicians. If they had more brain power then they would be able to lift objects with their mind
