Hello, I am Rida. 26 years old.
Experienced the worst childhood.
Seen 5 Greatest failures in 2 years.
Rejected by the same person, over and over again.
Constantly questioning my worth!
Why I am sharing this?
Just wanted to say that all of this is OKAY!
And I am doing my best!
While working as a medical officer in a Government Hospital, I realized that although I haven't gotten what I have been dreaming of for a long time.
Yet I have something that many people desire.
Alhamdulillah for the blessings!
They say, at some point in life, Time heals. Today after 2 years I was overfilled with multiple memories. Of people who were just passing birds in my life. People do heal but never forget. They never forget what was said to them at their worst moments.
What an incredible night it was. Got the chance to deliver 17+ babies with my night team. Hectic but loved every bit of it.
Alhamdulillah for everything. This gave me the actual meaning of life.
Overpowered 👩🏻⚕️🫡🙌

Alhamdulillah for today!
I was able to bring a little life into this world. Did my very first C-section independently today.. Over the moon right now! 🙇🏻♀️🙌❤️💪
Today I was randomly talking to my mother about the struggles of people who dream big. She said a beautiful thing in context to my dream.
If God has given you before, He will give you again. Just keep your hopes high and be sincere to your handwork. Leave it to Him.

Today I got the chance to assist a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and ended up closing the skin.
Sounded like a pretty good day no?
Ps: Ignore the background. Couldn't manage to find a good place in the OT.

Medical Officer (OBGYN)
I am overwhelmed by the response I get to my last post! Thank you for the encouragement.
All I want to say is:
If you can conquer the art of never giving up. You can get whatever your heart desires. It will come to you even if you are in your darkest moments.
Trust Yourself!

Do you know one day I delivered a woman’s 21’s child. I was shocked. Then after a few months, I get used to this. It’s the norm for a person to have 15+ children.
A few days back, I witnessed a postpartum death. A woman came in on a stretcher with severe PPH. She delivered her baby at home by a local midwife (Dai). My senior and I rushed her in and did all measures that were required.

How come for some people life is like a piece of cake and for some sand in the sea? It takes too much effort to achieve things for a few people and the same things some get so easily. It's not fair!
POV: I am deeply happy for you, trust me but I want them in my life too! 🙁🙇🏻♀️
Have that wise instinct of knowing how you would react in certain situations before they happen so that you can be well prepared to react wisely.
Once you master yourself, Impossible will no longer stand in the way of your dreams.
You cry and scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say: You know what? I'm giving up, I don't care! And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand-new day. And you pick yourself back up again. 🌸💪
After you lose someone really close to you, there comes a day when you need them the most but you keep yourself from going back to them. I think that's one of the biggest forms of strength in the world. if you have done that today or any day, I am proud of you.🙌🏻🫡
My HOD said she will allow me to do an independent C-section only if the patient failed induction. I was overwhelmed guess what she delivered Vaginally an hour before preloading for the surgery. Bad luck for me but good for her.
Nevermind, I’ll wait for the next opportunity 🙇🏻♀️💪
Muskurao!
Agar aj kisi sai har gye ho,
Kisi ko us jeet ki tmsy ziada zarurat thi shayad.
Muskurao!
Agar kch kho gya hai,
Jis k naseeb ka tha us ko mil gya hai shayad.
Muskurao!
Agar dil toot gya hai,
Kisi ka jorhnay k liye kisi ka torna parhta hoga shayad.
Loved every word!❤️
I am the kind of person who loves to be appreciated and I have craved it a lot. But appreciation from patients and their attendants made me realize, I was always seeking it from the wrong people.
They appreciate you to such a level that you desire to help people to get more!
Almost a month ago, I witnessed 2 children (Girl & Boy) of a couple of First cousins marriage. Both of them were suffering from a rare congenital disorder I-e McKusick-Kaufman Syndrome and Bardet Biedl Syndrome respectively. (On Karyotyping)
(The study is still in process)
Cont.
Stop cousin marriages .I can’t stress this enough !!Better not to cry after having 4 recurrent miscarriages due to Robertsonian translocation in karyo type of both husband and wife .. I swear I was short of words when the lady was crying after hearing the loss of 4th child
@Babie__shark
Yes because someone has worked really hard for it. It is their biggest achievement in life. They have the right the use it anyway! Who are you to judge? When you have no idea about the importance of their life! Get a life bro!!Talking shit on Twitter is easy!
Sometimes I feel so blessed to be able to help people. I was on my morning duty in the labor room and witnessed 2 ruptured ectopic pregnancies in 3 hours. Assisted Emergency laparotomy for both patients. 🙇🏻♀️
Both are stable now!
It was a good day Today! 💯👩🏻⚕️
Somewhere in my 20+ C-sections, I saw an imminent Uterine Rupture.
It’s alarming that the growing negligence towards previous Cesarean Sections in individuals remains a significant issue that we are currently overlooking.
🙇🏻♀️🙁
There is nothing quite as satisfying as witnessing the remarkable career development of someone you hold in high regard.
Saw one of the remarkable achievements of someone’s life today. Can’t be more proud!! 🙌💜
After trying for 2 hours her condition deteriorated. Soon after she developed DIC & in a matter of half an hour. Died
I was devasted. This was the first time I had witnessed death so closely. It still makes me shiver.
2/3
Today I came across a patient who was in labor with a history of Peripartum cardiomyopathy in her previous pregnancy. The whole experience went smoothly without any complications.
It's quite remarkable to witness such a rare disease, which has an incidence rate of 1:1000 people.
Sometimes we choose to stand at a closed door & hope it will somehow open.
We wait for it to open.
We choose to have hope.
We’re always scared that the door will open the second we walk away.
We claim ownership over that, although we genuinely know it’d be never really ours.
You are visiting the city you spent 6 years, in short, grew up in after years.
Getting overwhelmed with the flashback memories and realizing how life has changed completely ever since you left.
Post Partum Deaths are common throughout the world. But it can be prevented with certain measures. But in such cases, the patient usually dies in the process of bringing her to the hospital. Surprisingly people still prefer midwives over doctors!
3/3
Both of these diseases are extremely rare genetic disorders. And the most common cause is Consanguineous marriage. In my case, the couple were double cousins.
Can’t disclose it now but It was one of the eye-opening scenarios for me!
Just a moment of thought, there always comes a phase in your suffering where when you develop a sense of satisfaction with the journey. That is the time when you are actually just a step away. Keep going! You are almost there..

People leave and that can be overcome easily. The thing is you can do it in a good way not by putting the other down or making them feel bad about themselves. Words and disrespect will remain in the other’s mind like forever!
Just Remember that you got up.
After a countless times of being knocked down.
You got up
After all the times you got joked upon, doubted upon
You're still here.
And you've proven to yourself every single day that you're able to make it
here.

I second. It is one of the easiest fields. You have to learn a few new things and it will help you throughout your life. Just had 4 months in the Obgyn Department and I am seeing the same cases (PPH, Eclampsia, Placenta Previa, NVD/C-Sec). Some new after 2-3 months (PCT, TAH,VH)
@irfanha16458520
I have no idea why this is coming up again. Maybe it is true. In that case, you need to rely on yourself only. My intention was never to get so views & followers. It won't bother me much. I just needed the platform & courage to share my failures publically.
@dr_clinomaniac
Govt has set rules for 18+ marriages but nothing is working against this. 14-15 years of marriage is common. Especially in the rural areas.
@rubelizbolivar
Don’t rely on NBMEs only! Try UWSA. I know someone who failed all her NBMEs, got good % in UWSA and passed the real exam.
You can do this!!
@irfanha16458520
Keep your hopes high! Trust that He will show you the way, He is the only one who is going to make it true. INSHAALLAH ✨
Trust the process. It can take time but everything will fall into place I promise! Stay Strong.
@yoMamaLilith
The thing is Male doctors never get the chance to enter the labor room at all in Pakistan. They do all side duties and are there for the O.Ts. So they never see the actual pain women go through while giving birth.
@fizzeyi
@MAConator23
And you can't educate these people. And if a woman doesn't want it, she is forced to do this. Because of her husband. Sadly He is also unaware of what his wife is going through while giving birth.
@DrHassanGhaffar
Maybe because I am not an MD yet!
But if people write it. Please know for a fact it takes double mehnat to achieve an MD title as compared to an MBBS degree. So It’s justified.
@yoMamaLilith
He is. But the thing I was talking about doesn't involve literate people. An Educated husband does not have more than 5 children. They represent the urban areas. And somehow cover the rural ratio. Because on a bigger scale,we only see the urban population.
@fizzeyi
@MAConator23
You are 100% on point but mostly the people living in slightly urban areas understand and do proper family planning as well but so many people blame it on ALLAH. K ALLAH ki marzi hai hm q gunahgar banain rok k.
@DrHassanGhaffar
@yoMamaLilith
So I guess I have seen more hospitals than you. That is why I am saying this confidently on a public platform. I only talk about what I see. If this isn’t the case in your scenario. That's great.
@yoMamaLilith
So we see them and realize everything is good.
In short, we are seeing only 50% or maybe 40% of the population. Rest are in the worse conditions.
@DaaktarSahiba
@MaheenMasood26
I guess start something else. Enroll in some degree and try next year if you are determined to become a doctor.
Koi nhi kheh raha k dream chordo. But waste baithnay sai acha hai kch to ho.
@DrHassanGhaffar
@yoMamaLilith
So for your kind information, I have worked in the 2 top public sector hospitals in Sindh and Kpk. That is considered an A grade. And I have seen the same. So before criticizing someone, better do your homework!
