round of applause please

Today I attended EVERY SINGLE LECTURE listed on my timetable. FIVE lectures dammit!
Hurrah for me! I don’t know that I’ll do it again… surely once is enough.
In other news, I have not eaten any chocolate today. Oh actually that’s a lie. I had three mini Mrs Fields’ cookies that I found on the [...]

I found a pair of jeans in my cupboard that I’ve never worn. So now I’m wearing them. No buying jeans this year!
I am allowed to buy some tops, because I am sadly deficient in that department. And certain underwear items are also required. But jeans and good trousers are both in bounteous supply.
In other [...]

very strange

I am doing my semi-regular culling of clothes. This may surprise people who know me because they know that my clothing repertoire doesn’t appear large enough to need semi-regular culling. But somehow I always manage to find a large pile of clothes that I don’t want. I think this is partly because I hate clothes [...]

ah so innocent

Today I was asked to inspect some suspicious looking cigarettes that a woman had found in her daughter’s room. I looked, I sniffed, I wasn’t too sure. I called my pharmacy student. She wasn’t sure either. We opened one up to get a better look at the contents. My student said some particular bits were [...]

Merry Weekend!
Well, it would be nice if I didn’t have to work for 12 hours tomorrow. But at least I get paid. When I first started working full time, I always found it marvelous that every week, a large amount of money would be put into my account. It seemed like I must have been [...]

Good afternoon gang.
Today we are doing MBBS from home. I’m sure that I have told you all about the wondrous gizmo that is RichMedia. With RichMedia, I click on a link from my uni website, and up pops a screen with the powerpoint slides, a little video so I can see the lecturer, and the [...]

I have terrible posture. And I can’t find a position to study in that doesn’t screw up my back. A friend told me that I have to use my abdominal muscles to sit up instead of my back and shoulder muscles. Or something like that. However I don’t think I have any abdominal muscles. I’m [...]

how’d I do?

So my predictions were:
* A neurological examination. Vision perhaps.
* CPR
* A cardiovascular examination of some type – possibly “the chest” or something like that.
* A symptom history – breathlessness
* A history of a disease – something haematological… maybe anaemia.
* A medication history.
Thankfully the first two I was wrong on. Which is good because I really [...]

it’s OSCE day!

Hurrah! How exciting!
Despite not knowing much, it’s actually sort of exciting. The suspense!! And once the exam starts, it’s over before you know it. And if I fail, it doesn’t really matter because it’s a formative exam. Although I will be attempting to not fail.
In other news I have eaten a heavily discounted Humpty Dumpty [...]

surely they wouldn’t

A shoulder! Nah that’s practically unheard of!
I would really like a heavily discounted Humpty Dumpty egg. Luckily the brother (my usual partner in night snack crime) is out. In my car. But the parents’ cars are both here…
