Did you know..procrastination or better to say when you miss an exam date,everything else get adjourned too?Though gynae cycle was my 1st cycle,I only can get done with my exam in the next coming 2 weeks.All was because of internal exam and when I decided to get gynae done last Monday,the doctor didn’t show up due to overwhelming workload(i assume) and only turned up after we left the hospital..damn!!! I so wanted to get it done so that I’d be able to revise my other subjects which need my equal attention too,but now…at least,I was done reading and going through them,now all i got to do is to reinsert them in my mind and obviously,MEMORISE every single fact of it…I’m not spared here,let’s do it and finish it and be free from exams till GOC exams in spring!!

New subject in 11th semester was Occupational Diseases for 6 days.I enjoyed listening to Prof.Troshen’s lectures and classes as I regard him,someone who wants to pass his wide knowledge to us.The symptoms of pneumoconiosis can mimic bronchitis symptoms,can resemble X-ray image of TB…what will happen if you misdiagnose it?all in all,I enjoyed the classes and still attending his lectures though to be honest I nearly fell asleep(but i swear,I didn’t) on his first lecture-Introduction to Occupational diseases..the statistics and graphs are just too much to comprehend

Currently with internal cycle-guess this semester,Group 631E is the floating group but on the bright side,we can have the taste of having different doctors in ‘drilling’ us.Part 1 for 5 days of internal medicine ended with Dr.Tatyana,my favourite internal lecturer ever.One of a kind and definitely the best.Second part of Internal Medicine continues with Dr.Panova,started on Friday and I believe it will go on smoothly.She’s equally as good as Dr.Tatyana-she just enjoys diverting her talk from DM to other issues and finally will get back to DM.I could see the vast knowledge in her and perhaps she is an avid reader of anything that concerns about health!!!We were informed earlier that our classes with her will be lasting only till 12th Nov,and that’s like for only 2 weeks from now on?..so who’s next in charge of us?Dr.Ilya,Dr.Petrov or the almighty Dr.Andrevna?Ain’t this internal medicine cycle of mine is peaking its hiatus of suspense?I shall see what happens next in 2 weeks time…

Next Friday will be Diwali..yes,my last Diwali abroad.Yippee..after this,my colourful Diwali with dad,mum,ragu,uncles,aunties,cousins,and my relatives---I just can’t to be back home next year!!!

10.10.10-I got to make an entry today!!what's the big buzz about this day?I've no clue but all i know this so called 'i-dont-know-why' it's so important date is just all over my fb feeds..so let's make it a 'memorable' one by publishing an entry.

Recently,I'm having Forensic sciences cycle.It's been almost 2 weeks and I only have another 3 more days to end this cycle.Pretty much sad,because I'm actually enjoying this cycle very much..ask me why?for a couple of reasons I would state-1stly,it's my most relaxing cycle(no preparation is needed before classes the following days,unlike many other subjects),2ndly-forensic science was my option besides medicine during my form 6 days and 3rdly-the classroom and what we do in the class is way to cool--:), 4th-this branch of science plays a major role in medicine= in a criminology aspect:) 5th-the lecturer(we got his name all wrong in our case reports)..darn,and yeah he was actually a very easy going guy,compared to how he is in lectures..very schematic indeed and he actually checks the attendance one by one.One setback: it's very hard to rewrite whatever he was reading out(he reads only once) and his terms and pronounciations~

1st day of class-AWESOME,it was my first day of live autopsy.Corpse was found dead in his apartment.I got a better insight on how they do the post mortem from top to toe,from external investigation to inner investigation.56 year old,alcoholic man,with vomitting mass on his shirt,mouth,hemorrhages in his eyes,edema of the brain and lung.the final diagnosis was:death due to aspiration caused by alcohol.We passed up a case report after a week.And I realised,there's a very thin line or maybe there's no difference between a butcher and a forensic doctor.

the following practical classes were only in the class.THe class room is creepily cool with dead models on display,type of weapons used(real ones),schemes of how to make diagnosis,type of wounds found on the corpses,extracted organs with defects~

As much as I'm enjoying the classes,soon I will be having a very hectic cycles coming up-next week on thursday onwards will be started with occupational diseases for another 6 days before getting myself fully committed to internal medicine.

I think I missed out this prime line---"OMG,IT's ALREADY OCTOBER!!!!":))))))))) *big and wide smile of mine*
