Hola

Medical Residents & Interns are the backbone of healthcare in India. The amount of burden they bear is unmatchable from the rest of the world. There are days when they don't get proper sleep. These sleepless nights do make them learn important concepts of medical science but it also take a toll on their mental health. Since the pandemic started, the amount of burden has increased tremendously. Specially the Medicine And Anaesthesia residents are in the front in fighting this deadly virus . Even the cases in Psychiatry have gone multifold. Medical suicides are increasing day by day, asking us to introspect. In these alarming situations, I had a chance to interview one of the emerging Psychiatrist of Jaipur, Dr Rahul Kansal. We discussed about the declining mental health of residents & interns. He explained very well about the current scenerio and enumerated various ways to deal with the burden. We also discussed changes required in current situation. Listen to the episode and do let us know what you think of it. 

Share it with your friends and loved ones. 

I hope we will bring the change because only WE CAN. 

Raise Awareness! 

When you do it you save lives.

When you do it you save someone's world.

When you do it you save "YOU"

In continuation of the Mental Health Awareness Series,

We all witnessed many cases related to suicide in the news lately. Every such news has put me in the act of introspection. I stayed in my house 24*7 and it did take a toll on my mental health. The Pandemic and lockdown has put us in a vulnerable position. It surely has triggered the anxiety for many of us. I am no different. In the midst of these thoughts I realised the importance of mental health. When I hear the news of a medical student commiting suicide, I ask to myself, why we become so resistant at a point of time that we couldn't share our stress with anyone? Then my subtle mind answers to this , may be the stress overtakes all the positive feelings which act as a healer in us or may be it's the social rule of strength. What is it ?

Episode#4 : Open Yourself to The World of Possibilities 

In the field of Medicine, we all know the importance of reading books. We all feel the pressure to acquire maximum knowledge & score good marks in exams. But dont you think  learning life skills, developing new hobbies and  improving our abilities to deal with life are some other things that also need our attention. It is often perceived that you can be a good doctor if you have a great knowledge of your field. Agreed! But don't you think, learning leadership skills, making new contacts, learning how to deal with patients & their attenders, developing the stress buster hobbies & improving our extra/ co- curricular abilities are some very very important  areas where a good doctor should strive excel at. Because, after passing out, a doctor has to lead a team, he has to bring positivity around them and their patients, he has to have a peace of mind in order to function properly. I think this becomes more important in a long run and there these skills help. Help in building a network, help in creating a positive ambience around them. This episode revolves around this topic.  

In this episode, I have discussed all these topics with our guest Dr Anmol Patted. She will be sharing her journey & guiding us to a world that is full of possibilities.  

Listen to her and I hope you will find your way through this podcast ❣️
