I'm getting very excited...

that I will be receiving my degree in 2 years in LATIN!!!!

UNIVERSITAS HIBERNIAE NATIONALIS
Testantur hac literae Gradium Baccalaureatus
in Medicina, in Chirugia, in Arte Obstetricia
Honore Cursa Confecto
in Collegio Regali Chirurgerum
in Hibernia cum
Collegio Medicina Pinangensis cum
Universitate Hiberniae Nationali conundo
ad

die iii mensis Juli mmxi

maybe a Latin mass to accompany this accomplishment should be arranged....

IN real life, it seems so real

yeah, so we've learned about parkinson's disease and it's manifestations, lead pipe rigidity; diabetes and ulcers, and how diabetics can't feel them because of neuropathy; how to describe lumps that you feel, tb and the xrays, asthma and the wheeze, sputum and inhalers....

so to see it in real life really puts whatever you read about in textbooks into perspective... it's interesting...

i may never forget the face of the first guy i found with a symptom, but it's only through feeling and seeing it repetitively that you can to recognise things straight away....

the bottom line is that medicine is interesting...

now, i'm looking forward to:

-s3 and s4 gallop rythmns
-stridors
-ct scans
-surgery
-a & e rotations
-dextrocardia
-tetralogy of fallot
and much more...
