Detachment from patients (’’,)

Hi Guys!

Many of you don't know me, some of you might have forgotten me (😭) and some of you will still remember me 😛 ... soooo

First of all a big hello to everyone...

Before I go on to the real point... it's been a looong time since I posted a topic here... although I have been replying to some of the threads from others... So please excuse me if I've lost the touch of making my posts interesting 😆

Also, I have a very bad habit of going on and on and on with myself... so please forgive me if I go on for too long 😆

Anyways... I went to a Medical Conference a few months ago... and I got a chance to see the most amazing thing in my life... a real life surgery!

At the end of the surgery, we got to ask the surgeon any questions we had... and we learnt from his answers that while operating on a patient, or handling a serious case, they tend to completely detach themselves from the patient... so for example... in a surgery, he said that, "All surgeons completely detach themselves from their patients, they don't think that the body in front of them, the exact same body that they're going to cut open, is a real body. All they keep in their mind is that they have a body in front of them, and they have to do their best to get that body back into a live, fully-functioning machine."

Now that really struck me... I mean obviously you have a living person in front of you that you will be operating on, and your aim is to make them better, but sometimes that isn't always possible.

Another thing I found, correct me if I'm wrong Doctors, is that they aren't permitted to operate their relatives or friends; this is because they can become emotional... etc etc.

Now if you relate all this to DMG... You must have all realised... all the interns do tend to get exremely attached to their patients... think about Minnie's case, think about Riddhima's patient who passed away, think about Nana... think about Gappu... all these patients are ones who the interns love dearly... and we've seen that when Minnie's condition was critical, Armaan cried... when Riddhima's patient passed away, Riddhima cried...

Many of the medical conditions mentioned in DMG are completely true... and even the propanol fact is true according to one of my friends who's a chem researcher...

So I was just wondering that is it just me who's thinking too much about this 'Detaching oneself from one's patient' or does DMG have that teeny bit of 'unreality' in it?

Bear in mind that I'm not complaining... I love DMG, the current track... but I was just recollecting some of the things I learnt at the conference which made me think of DMG😛

I hope I didn't bore you all to hell!😆

Lots of love,

Sonia

Wow sonia hun perhaps it ws a vyyy interesitng topic!!!!!! lovedd reading it grttt gngg 👏 👏 👏

Thanks for replying Tiva 😃

wowo sonia great to have u back didi 🤗

and i agree all the doctors do tend to get really attached to their patients but what can they do if they are really friendly to them

and an amazing post didi 👏
we all missed u loads well i did

Thank you Swancy... missed you too 😛

I agree the Docs and Patients are both very friendly 😳

missed u di!!
nyways intresting topic mayb dmg does hav a little unreality in it

P.S- luv the imran khan siggi.u a fan of him 2??

missed u too mishu! 🤗

yaa maybe it does 😕 😆

thnxx 😳 yaa im a fan even tho i haven't watched JTYJN yet 😳 😆 Love him already 😛

Hey!! I think u might not be knowing me, i am Kiran!!

I loved your post. Everything you said was completely true. I mean, DMG is supposed to be a drama on doctors but it does cover a lot of unreal facts. i mean, i was watching one of the old epis and during a surgery, all dr. shubhankar was doing was CLEANING the wound of the person, which really should not matter to the head surgeon because that can be tended to after the surgery. Anyways, in the American series Grey's Anatomy, no doctor is allowed to treat their relatives and as far as i remember, their resident scolds them to death if she feels they are getting too attached to the patient and take them off the case. Dr. Keerti should do the same. Kuch to reality show kerao yaar. Lolz.

hey sonia so happy to read ur post😃
well i totally agree wid u
docs do try to maintain a distance frm thier patients in order to avoid any sentiments
as far dmg is concerned yeah there is a bit of unreality in it
but thts fine 😆 😆

hey Sonia!
how can i not rem'ber u and the monkeys
i even rem'ber ur "i m back" post 😉 😆 😛

back to point(see even i can go on n on)...yes they do get emotional
i mean after that patient died, ridz was very emo.... later she had a convo with her dad on brkfast table
later whn one patient lost his hearing ability, even then her dad told her not to get emo

similarly, kirti had also warned armaan abt getting senti in minnie's case. So partly they r realistic but partly its too teeny-weeny...which they shd try to avoid(as much as possible, considering its a daily soap for an indian audience, me included)

Hope i didnt confuse...
