The week after our staycation at Atlantis, it got crazy busy at work. I would come home late everyday to sensitive kids needing constant pampering. To ensure quality time with them, I took time off before the weekend.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today, we planned to go to in Dubai before I start the call marathon again. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It is the largest 3D Museum in the world and has over 185 reality defying artworks. There are 9 zones: Illusion, Arabic, Egyptian, Water World, Animal Kingdom, World of Masterpieces, Fantasy, Jungle, Humor.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The museum is all about taking pictures and being creative in front of the lens.⁣ You need to have the right attitude and a comfortable attire while posing to ensure the pics stand out and rank high in fun factor! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Mask and social distancing was strictly in order. You can only remove the mask while taking a pic. The staff is super friendly and gladly takes photos for you. They literally make you feel so special. That’s two thumbs up IMO.⁣
⁣⁣
For my global friends, if you feel burnt out with no vacation ahead, try to take a day off before weekend. It will help you replenish the energy and be able to spend some time with family. This will have a positive impact on you physically and psychologically. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For all my UAE friends, I highly recommend this amazing indoor place if you are up for some selfie fun and have had enough of sun tan this summer!⁣⁣

We have all failed in something at some point in life. We have all had setbacks. And still do. It could be a test, a relationship, new skill or a video game. ⁣
⁣
Embrace your failure knowing it’s only gravitating you one step close to success. It has helped you learn that you didn’t know before. ⁣
⁣
You can’t stop. You can’t step back. You can’t look down. ⁣
⁣
The beauty of courage is to look straight into it’s eyes and say, “Not Again. I will keep moving forward.”⁣

OR Guardian Angel, is it?

What is the job of your Anesthesiologist a.k.a guardian angel in the OR?

During the 4 years of residency after medical school, this person gains the myriad of knowledge of normal human physiology, pharmacology, physics, ethics, patient safety, and the respiratory and hemodynamics changes that occur before and during anesthesia.

We are trained to be an expert in airway management, invasive and non-invasive hemodynamic monitors, ultrasound and echocardiography.

If we wants to specialize further in kids (from before they were born till adults), cardiac, pain, ICU, etc, we undergo additional year of training for that.

During residency, we are trained to:

🩺 Manage the perioperative period from the Preop->OR->PACU to put a kid or an adult to sleep and wake him again safely.

🩺 Be able to troubleshoot all the complications that can arise during this time.

🩺 Ensure hemodynamics, pain control, blood loss, airway, etc.

🩺 Manage the complex heart, brain, orthopedic, and abdominal surgeries.

🩺 Manage the airways of syndromic kids and adults who have anticipated or unanticipated difficult airways.

🩺 Access Peripheral and Central lines for monitoring, IVFs or infusions one may need with it without an ultrasound.

🩺 Perform regional pain procedures under ultrasound to make sure your perioperative pain is in control.

🩺 Take care of one of your relatives in the ICU, God forbid.

🩺 Do interventional pain procedures to take care of that chronic pain in your back or hip.

This expertise not only encompasses anesthesia but also intensive care and acute emergency medicine.

While in the OR, the purpose of the entire OR Team is to provide you with the best care, an anesthesiologist helps execute this. She is comparable to a pilot who is responsible for the safety of the aircraft crew and passengers.

So, you see, what I mean when I say anesthesiologist IS your guardian angel?

As Meg Ryan once said, “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙖.”

Thank you Nina for inviting me at your show. I had a fabulous time talking to you both on- and off-air. Hope our talk helps someone out there who’s in the shoes we were few years ago.

A student at St. George’s University asked what to do when interested in Anesthesiology as an IMG.

In this episode, I invited .ali.khan.md who is an IMG who has done just that despite passing step 2 CS on second attempt! She boldly turned out a pre match offer in IM to stay the course on her dreams!

Today she is an pediatric anesthesiologist with faculty experience who is offering valuable advice for IMGs interested in this path. Listen to the full episode in the link in my bio!

Dear Medical students and docs,⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Before we dive deep, you have to understand you are about to make a major life change. Your life is no longer yours. It’s dedicated to USMLEs with few breaks every day to decompress or rest.⁣⁣
⁣⁣

⁣⁣
I am trying to write as much in detail as possible. Due to this reason, this series will get longer than I anticipated.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Incase I miss anything, please inbox and I will reply. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘜𝘚𝘔𝘓𝘌 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴. ⁣⁣

👉 𝗕𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Organize yourself before moving further. Pick a consistent study place, devise a study plan and strictly adhere to it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Talk to people. Ask the strategies they used. What has worked for me, may not be the best for you. Take out pointers from their experiences and make your individualized study plan. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Plan a balanced schedule to give room to recuperate. Run, sing, cook, exercise, anything that you love to feel reenergized. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I kept this as number 2, as choosing a healthy diet especially at this time would improve all aspects of life, from brain function leading to improved mental and physical performance. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Base your diet on healthy foods⁣⁣
like fruits, vegetables, fish, yogurt, nuts, legumes etc⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Resist intake of high carbs and sugar containing products. Limit infinite caffeine intake and its intake. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Eat a bag of those delicious salty potato chips and see if that makes you drowsy, craving for a sweet short nap.⁣⁣
