Let no one tell you that you cannot do one thing or its impossible. Two years back when I decided to do the full time house-job along with my preparation for my USMLE . Everyone told me that It could not be done.
Delighted to share news, my first poster which I worked on as post doc at UMKC won the second prize at 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting; Missouri Chapter of the American College of Physicians. Enthusiastic to work in depth on genomics and glucocorticoids in neonates ahead as well❤️
This photo has been my favourite one from all my observership rotations. It was the day in my IU hospital rotation when we got to experience cardiac stenting first hand. This day made me add cardiology to my wish-list.
Today here I am , completed my all USMLE exams while working full time first as house officer and then as medical doctor in my favourite hospital.
Things no matter how much tough can be done
And then you look back and smile that after all that you made it through
With tens of tabs open on the internet, checking each and every program details, making sure to not making any mistakes. The last days of this match application are nerve wrecking . But it will be fruitful in the end IA.
WE GOT THIS!!!
Despite studying medicine and becoming a doctor, I always had a keen interest in genetics and the intricate gene sequencing processes.
So now m here linking the gene aspects to the drugs and diseases . Living my every day here. Hoping to make a positive impact✌🏻
I firmly believe in the fact that finding a good mentor is what describes your journey onwards whether it's your research fellowship or your residency . It paves your pathway and gives you the correct sense of direction.
So choose your mentor wisely people🙂↔️
So I wrote my first draft of personal statement and its Freaking THREE pages , don't know how to squish it down to one page, completely lost here.
Being a Pakistani med student , this is my first time doing this and I. An safely say that I am not doing good😬
My mama papa tested +ve for COVID & although they only have minor symptoms yet just this thought scares the hell out of me ,more than what I'd have felt if it was case with me.That's how deeply attached u are to ur loved ones & sometimes u don't even realize.Prayers needed peeps
Efforts matter !!!
In every field , in every relation
That little effort that you do to make your work shine will never go unnoticed
Same goes for all our relations.
And recognising other peoples genuine efforts is as important as making your own efforts✌🏻
Pleased to share the news of acceptance of my case report on "atypical meningioma "in Radiology case reports. Such rare and diagnostic cases are always a good idea to follow and then put forward the findings for the interested one to read through.
Seeing a dad buy his kids backpacks for back to school today at the mall brought back whole loads of memories for me and an ocean of tears too. We dont appreciate our parents enough for providing the world to us!
Wish I could just fly to my home right now and give them a hug
Delighted to share the news, my amazing junior along with his partner managed to pull off an amazing work in such short time. We were able to present a poster on cross sectional study and an oral ppt on case report at STUCON, Rashid Latif Med Clg (RLMC).
IA many more to come✌🏻
First Ever Poster & Oral Presentation at a Scientific Conference That Too with My Better Half🙂↔️

Also Thanks to our remote coordinator
@toobafida_md
for motivating & guiding us in Abstract submission 😁✌️
So I am going on vacation starting tomorrow and my supervisor stayed overtime despite the hectic load of the day and sent me an email containing all the tour guidelines and fun things to do when I am there.
I swear I was gonna cry
It's these little things that matter the most
The stigma of being called a theeta or a parhaku tends to become a hurdle in the paths of many ....It has become a taunt when one says "yar tm to bht theeta ho" Instead of being sth proud at ... be proud at who u are and the efforts you do ....not everyone can reach your level
I go out dressed in shalwar qameez , I get stared
I go out in jeans , I get stared
I go out in Abaya, I get stared
I go out with my head properly covered , I get stared
I go out with my hair open , I get stared
... No matter how I dress up , what I wear , what I do ....
I saw a beautiful quote today;
You've done your part. You've prayed already. You've cried already. Now, watch Allah to do His part. Comfort your heart, and just trust Him.
We all need that someone in our lives who converts our insecurities into something beautiful...and looking at ourselves from their eyes brings nothing but peace and satisfaction.
And eventually you find out that everything happens for a reason ...everything turns out best for you ...the things that hurt you initially become so meagre in the end and you just smile realising the YOU ARE THE VETERAN afterall
I feel so disgusted by those women who normally are a stern portrayal of feminism and jb bank line me khari hon to are like," plz hmen pehle janay dn hm ladies hn "
New years have always been memorable for me ...kuch na kuch aesa hojata ha k zabardasti dimagh pe naqsh kr jata ha ...and by that I mostly mean good and bad stuff both ...Anxiously waiting for this time's bash 😅
So one moment I am having severe anxiety over the fact that so little tine left to cover such vast syllabus and the next moment I am laughing at a random cat video ....such is my mental health rn
The anti diabetic drug SIMAGLUTIDE had been initially derived from a southwestern lizard named GILA MONSTER.
One of the coolest and yet unknown fact that I learnt during my observership at University of Virginia hospital
Do you ever feel the hurt ..the pain when you unexpectedly come across people whom you think you left way behind in your past bcoz they were nothing but troubles to you???
When I see a random ice cream box lying at home,I expect it to contain anything from sui dhaaga to laces to random salans but never icecream ...I mean how pakistani am I
I just switched off WiFi on my phone , turned it off , put in in the drawer , locked it in the cupboard with the ultimate intention to study like crazy just to reverse the whole process only15 minutes later .... I am so doomed 😫
This PS writing shd be encouraged in medical schools and at most points in the life so that we don't feel lost like this. It shd be implemented while getting into school or joining societies and organisations. K know its there but it needs to be made common
@Tweetsby_physio
I just wanna add one thing k successful relations have the efforts from both sides. It never works if the wife keeps on making all the efforts. That is called compromise. The husband shd make as much efforts as his wife.
@SabahatTouseef
I feel so bad for her tbh , emotionally available men are the worst . My mom always says on thing if a person does not realize or have that sense of realization, you cant do anything to make him realize his fault
Seniors se sunte the k agar written me pass ho to kabhi viva fail nae hta and it sounded fair but what is happening is beyond tolerance
#passvivavictimsKEMU
It's that time of the year again where my dad picks up his pillow and blanket and sleeps at his office ...No no he didn't fight wd mom ...His isn't allowed to come home because of top secret budget ....I hate it😨
To scan her from head to toe , to make her uneasy with their scary eyes cuz yes that's the most they can do...All these events happening around us ...all these news on the media they make me feel so unsafe as a girl , as an equal citizen of ISLAMIC STATE of PAKISTAN.
Where I go , all I get is stares ...whether m walking on a road or am in a car these scary stares follow me ....I am just left with one question that are the women some type of showpiece , some type of ornament ,some type of aliens that the men consider it their absolute right...
I heard this thing once that If u are sneezing a lot its probably someone misses you and is recalling you😅....YAAR jo koi b ho plisss stop ...this sneezing is giving me a headache🤣🤣🤣
#allergiessuck
How come Suga rap so fast in such good English 🥺🥺 ....why is Tae's voice so magical😍 ....the fact that Jin had so many lines made me melt 🤣🤣....

Worst are those people who dont value the people who care for them in their life...they are the ones at the biggest loss when those people decide to not bother anymore
