Laughing – A Way To Destress

What makes you laugh?

Laughing – A form of de-stressing activity. To which some may find “distressing”?

Or perhaps I’m just a little unbalanced.

However, back to the prompt, I would laugh at almost anything actually.

Many would ask me on why do I laugh so easily or on almost anything. Honestly, I have no proper answer for it. Perhaps, the easily justifiable answer would be that it has become a form of my default reaction towards answering people.

Firstly, it softens my expression, thus making myself seem more approachable (or so I think). Sadly, that also means that sometimes people would not take me seriously. Next, it lightens the situation and prevents a tensed situation from escalating. However, it may also flip the other way around which may further escalate the situation instead as me laughing may deem that I do not take them seriously.

Sometimes, when I am being thrown an insult, I do react by first laughing about it, as a shield for myself and preventing myself from being hurt or at least giving myself some time before digesting the issues.

Then, there are times, when I am lost in my own world, which is most of the time, I would suddenly remember something funny or find something amusing and start laughing to myself. At times, it may escalate into a hearty laughter to which some might find distressing.

Nevertheless, after a good laugh, I would usually feel better, as they say, it releases endorphins, a “feel good” hormone and thus, “laughter is the best medicine”.

Reflection Of The Surgical Posting | Housemanship Diaries

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

Related Posts:

As you can see based on the prompt that I would be answering, Surgical Posting is definitely the place where the environment among the superiors felt more like a family to me and I’ve always felt the love and care towards one another and the patients in the whole team.

Prior to entering this department, I’ve always had my doubts and fear considering that I’ve heard numerous negative comments in regard to the department. Mostly, the department was deemed “toxic”.

However, upon entering there during my first day, I was guided and encouraged to follow rounds even when I seemed rather lost. I was not reprimanded or shouted at but instead I was guided and taught.

No doubt it is a tiring posting and after having completed my tagging period in all of the 5 major postings (Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Surgical and Medical), the tagging period in the Surgical Posting is the most tiring for me.

This posting sort of reminds me of Orthopaedics except the amount of patients are full-blown, never ending with random or common surgical-related issues and the patients are even more unstable.

The thing about being in this posting is that usually when an order is given by our superiors, it is expected to be carried out STAT, meaning immediately and they will usually keep checking in to know the progress and status of the patient which is both good and also annoying. Good because it keeps you on our toes and ensure things are being carried out. Bad as the day could be burning with multiple issues and joblists and there is lack of manpower and you barely had time to sit or even had a drink and next, you’re being summoned again.

However, looking back, I definitely enjoyed every bit of my journey over there. Eventually, I was given the responsibility of being one of the leaders in this department, the daily allocator to be exact, by my friend.

This unknowingly deepens my relationship among my superiors as we would constantly reach out to each other.

Along the way, I made friends with the nurses at Male Surgical Ward and I will always be grateful for their help.

The Surgical Posting also made me realise how much I enjoy Surgical-based and that I am one. Despite my initial interest in Medical upon entering my housemanship journey, I realised that I love hands-on more and I need to “see” the issue. For example, if a patient complaints of abdominal pain, assess the patient, send some blood workups which might help and in your direction of care as well as scans.

Most of the time, the issue is identified through the scan with the blood workup being highly suggestive. Thus we move on from there.

I can’t quite explain. Somehow it just make sense to me just like when I was previously in the Orthopaedics Department.

This posting is also where I spent the longest time. I entered the posting on the 4th of July 2024, which is around 5 months as I took a break in between due to my injury.

The Surgical Posting definitely holds a dear place in my heart. Upon bumping into my old superiors, I still greet them with joy and a smile, reminiscing my good times within the department.

If you are due to join the Surgical Posting, please prepare yourself both mentally and physically.

In my opinion, the Surgical Posting is a physically tiring and not as bad as it seems despite the multiple negative remarks. Perhaps, it was a different experience for others but in my humble opinion, it is NOT a toxic department. At least at the place that I am practicing in.

Have faith, hang in there and try your ultimate best everyday in both your work as well as in trying to learn the most you can out of this posting and journey.

Bloganuary writing prompt What makes a good leader? View all responses

I have no idea. If I knew, I would be a better leader than I am. Granted at work I am only a leader of four people and they are all excellent at their jobs so it makes my job easy. Still, having said that, if I could be better I would be better.

If I can’t give you something that makes you a good leader, I can give you something that makes you a friggin’ pain in the ass leader. Simple: Don’t micromanage. Ugh, working for a micromanager is infuriating. Seriously. I mean, I don’t know if this is true at all, but it’s what I heard, Jimmy Carter is a great man but he was a shitty President though. Why? Rumor has it he was a bit of a micromanager. If that’s true, it’s got to be the reason why his presidency went down the one-term crapper.

If you want to be a good leader, don’t be a micromanager.

What makes a good leader?

Behind every successful leader there is a women no ?

Or wait their zodiac signs ?

1 – Capricorn

Lion

Sagittarius

Aries

I think 🤔

But let’s leave zodiac and fun aside

In a normal write up

A good leader possesses qualities such as effective communication, empathy, decision-making skills, integrity, adaptability, and the ability to inspire and motivate others. Leadership also involves a combination of vision, accountability, and the capacity to foster collaboration within a team.

That is internet words but personally

What actually makes a good leader is 2 things mainly and only

And if you disagree , let’s debate on that .

1- leader must know he or she or heshe ( that they are leaders ) and they need to look after themselves big time .

2- being able to place themselves in other people’s shoes before they judge .

The rest will come alone as leaders are born leaders and not graduated as one .

Btw understanding this 2 diamond rules will

not only make a good leader but a badass brilliant one .

Argue with me .

The truth opposite reality
