"emteyaz" the final year in medical school, where you're supposed to put in practice everything you've learned in the past 6 years of your life. it's supposed to be easier since you actually have an idea about different illnesses and how to treat them, and you're supposed to know what you're doing because you are in one way or another a young doctor waiting to be released into the world.
ironically enough, this has nothing to do with emteyaz, apart from a small number of my colleagues who actually know what they're doing, here's what the rest of emteyazee's are like:
-the "senior"
------------
a two digit number is MAGIC! suddenly it makes a difference enta tarteebak eh!
yes, you might be a resident next year, that doesn't mean you have any privilages this year!! why should you?! you're still a student, and just because you got higher grades in the past 6 years doesn't mean you can boss your former friends around and get to choose your shifts and they don't! w kol maye7sal clash troo7 2ayel "ana el senior hena" senior 3ala meen bezzabt?! manta el sana el gayya hateb2a junior w hateddereb bel ***** !!! w ba3dein elly enta 3amel 3aleihom senior dole dof3etak (do you even know what senior means?!!!)
ps: I love our senior btw, he's the coolest guy ever, and he's a 1 digit number kaman! :D
- the "3ayza atgawwez" babe
-----------------------------
for the past 6 years she's been quite the background object, never really stood out in anyway, her grades are average, she's no beauty queen, no miss popular. just an average med student.
this year, eddeny ba2a, sunglasses rayban madrooba, make up mesh 3arfa gaybeeno mnein w multi colored 5 head scarves 3ala ba3d!!! and I'll shut up about the skinny pants and the high heels (ya bent el moftareyya, high heels fel demerdash??). w taba3an the SLIM-FIT WHITE COAT... w yalla beena 3al ER!
seriously, sister!!!
-the "burn outs"
--------------------
you find these fel este2bal, from 8 to 8, momken to 9 w 10 kaman, they work work work, and I'm not going to say anything because maybe the reason they work that much is that they're actually learning, or just because the rest of the people just don't!!
I envy those for their enthusiasm, and a big part of me can't believe someone could be THAT interested in batna!!
another type of burnouts don't actually do anything except wear their scrubs and a pair of gloves and start running back and forth from the ER to the hospital, they're not holding blood samples, they don't have a patient's file on them, they just seem to be BUSY w 7'alas, t2olsh beymasselo f ER?!
those I just envy their abilty to RUN, period.
-the "requesters"
------------------
all they ever do is run the stupid errands (rquests), and it's bad enough they do it, they actually volunteer!!!! I have nothing to say to those, good luck with the tan people!
-the "kosh & stairs population"
--------------------------------
e7em, ba3d emdet madame mona, their daily routine is to walk to the batna kosh and get their tea/nescafe/chipsy/brunch/ whatever sets their morning mood, and they walk back to the stairs, and they just hang there for the rest of the day.
they could go upstairs, yesallemo 3al nayeb walla 7aga, do a request or two (I don't) then it's back to the sellem...
there's always someone there, so it's never boring, and there's always someone coming from el atfal or el gera7a so you get to see poeple you haven't seen in a long time.
the one useful thing they actually do is give directions
-fein este2bal el batna law sama7t?
-aho 2oddamik ya mama
-fein el ma3mal wennabi ya anesa (note that they still call you anesa, abla, but never doctor...howa el balto da eh?!)
-awel mated7'ol 3and el dawaran yemeen ya baba
and life moves on...
-the night shifters
------------------
oh well, I guess by now we've all been there, done that. but here's what I noticed; some people set their night shifts in a way that they never have to show up in the hospital in the mornings
it's friday night so they'll sign on saturday and go home,
then sunday is badal ra7a
monday night, so they won't be there on tuesday
wednesday night, so no thursday
I actually know a guy who does this, w taba3an mezabbat Mme mona :D
-I guess that's all I could think of right now, of course that leaves the NORMAL interns, elly dakatra bgad, but then there's nothing interesting there :D

errr .. you forgot one more type, "the hide and go seek" group , which is me LOL , it's a hybrid between nightshifters and runners , lemme give u a little preview of my day/night whatever , most of my shifts are nights , so i go to the "nabat-shya" at about 12 am lol , after getting yelled at by the residents for 2 hours (coz am late and all) , i start doing the actual work at 2-3 am XD
ReplyDeletewhich is usually taking patients vitals , "a3ala2 damm , lol" , i am usually done by 3:30 am :D , then ba7'la3 we ya2ema anam fel car aw no7'rog we nerga3 3al emda ... the interesting thing about this type of people is that u actually feel like u did something , when in fact u did NOTHING LOL , then i go home at about 9 am sleep till 9 pm wake up and repeat XD .. anyways good job with the blog :)
uhmm ... kindly direct me to "the 3ayza atgawez group" i haven't seen any yet , they sound umm interesting XD
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, I totally forgot about the hide and go seek group, my nabatsheya partner is kinda like that... but worse than that he's got a way with the residents so he never gets yelled at, also by the time he shows up, I'm the one who'd have mostly finished all the work, wel vitala howa bey2allefha keda...
ReplyDeletebut the ood thing is, he lets me go to sleep early w howa beysheel el leila! or if it's a morning shift, I go home. so it's all good!
yea we are cool like that .. am still worse XD
ReplyDeleteOne more grp for ya :) , THE LACKEYS ... those are the ppl who are still afraid to do anything and feeling guilty about it :) , remember keda the ppl who run back 3ashan yegeboolak 2otna walla touriquet , the ppl who ignore the patient till someone goes to take history from him/her then rush so fast to stand next to ya and listen betarkeez, the ones who rush to do clerical work , yegeebo 2anabeeb, yendaho 2el 3ommal , yesta3gello 2el me3awen :)
ReplyDeleteIm not intending to offend anyone by this , especially since i used to belong to that grp for a decent amount of time ... just hope everyone gets over it and start the actual "working" ba2a ;)
dance monkey dance :P .. work eh ely enta gy t2ol 3aleh .. u belong in the "brain washed" group XD
