1 down,yo!:)

*med school teaser 1*

8th April'11 @1302

I was out from hostel at 8.10am today with my best companion,zakiah.All that was in my mind today was,let everything go silky smooth as I promised I will prepare fully(for sure) for GOC theory in June.With the notice of 2 weeks for practical examinations,I was hit by the wave of stress(a massive one):already fell sick 3 times(with exacerbations of post stress signs and symptoms).So,Navanita is hitting back the gym tomorrow after 1 month of break!:)

First patient to clark,wasn't in her room and i accidentally begun to clark her ward-mate,only to realise after i asked her name,i Got the wrong patient!Hurried down and I got another patient.73 year old,male patient..hello grandpa:):) he wasn't grumpy at all,infact very much patient and answered all my questions..thank you so much.Diagnosed with chronic gout after all my physical examinations on him including heart auscultation,percussion of the lung,bp measurement.My tonometer created a fuss and luckily sarah brought hers.Dr.Yulia was my practical doctor,answered her and did pitting edema examination on my patient.My patient gave extra remark on me and Dr.Yulia was happy and signed my paper and there I went to the lecture hall with a fearful heart.

The moment i walked in,the second group were in a long queu waiting to be given patients.Glad I was in the first batch.Insidious onset of palpitations begun when I saw Dr.Andrevna(who was eyeing me with a smile,she never left her gaze on me when I walked in),Dr.Ksenia,Dr.Tatyana,Dr.Panova,infecttious and TB Drs were there too.Got analysis on bilirubin,sat on the 4th floor *to be continued after back from Internal Lecture...*

*back from Dr.Ilya's hyperglycemia in ACS lecture*..so I got the analysis on bilirubin/biochem analysis and finally i was called by Dr.Kersenia but subsequently was passed on to the infectious Dr.Answered her well and voila I'M DONE WITH INTERNAL MEDICINE'S PRACTICAL EXAM!:):)

Thank you so much the almighty and the most aspiring and inspiring moments were when I received 3 wonderful remarks from my patient,Dr.Yulia and Dr.Infectious.Still a student here,and this junior doctor will strive for the best:)I still have another chance to make up to /fill up what I'm lack of..so it starts again and the next stop will be on the 13th April-OBs/gynae?Still have no idea..let's warm up the engine tonight!

p/s:saw Dr.Petrov today-macho-ly walking down the 4th floor's hallway but his pony tail was slightly tied to the left today...perhaps i should have taken a snap?lol..

have you ever been picked on constantly in practical classes?

have you ever been invaded with so many thoughts,all at once,practically every day?

are you lost at the moment completely on everything?

do you feel entangled in a multiple massive knots-don't know where to start and where to end?

do you feel like slamming your head on the table,better still plucking all your hair out?

-if you do,please join me and welcome to the club namely >>>DOOMED-

Random thoughts,totally...

*think in silence...that's when you understand life*

1.I realized,all that I ever need to stay on my tract is Dad's words.This is why,you're the most amazingest Dad in the entire world,daddy!!!I love you:)

2.The world is very very small.I had a patient who's a head of surgery department @surgeon.I felt too tiny in his eyes the moment I asked him "what do you do?" towards the end of clarking.This is why,you're supposed to follow the rules of taking anamnesis!

3.Don't regret for what you had done,especially if it's not your fault.Let go/don't bear negative feelings and focus on the present.Cherish and appreciate good relations:)

4.Always believe in,everything happens for a reason,don't sigh..just believe in that.Be OPTIMISTIC in whatever that had happened,everything happens and ends in good.

5.If God puts you in it,He will certainly gets you through it!.

Freezing at -25*C.

*watch your steps before you land flat on the icy ground*

19th Feb'11 @ 0646

The synergistic action of the extreme winter + heavy rotation is more than enough to leave you 'pancit'/exhausted even before the mid week.I was hoping for Friday to come since wednesday and that's not a good thought at all~

Final year with final winter to experience,I'm ACTUALLY being treated 'luxuriously'.The temperature dropped and the whole week it has been -20 *C- -25*C.NO curfew till it drops below -35*C,therefore there's not even a chance to think of skipping classes especially when you have hematology.Still,the whole white world here looks 'icy and mesmerizing':)

Daily multi-vitamins won't secure you from falling ill,what more in Russia's cold(est) winter.So don't let the cold weather conquer and hinder you from carrying out your activities.So,GO out,feel the snow,eat healthly and do some work outs:)

It's a chilly saturday morning and I'm awake after 10 hours of sleep.I don't remember when i dozed off yesterday.All I know,now I'm wide awake than ever before!!!

3rd Lesson'11(the most valuable).

*HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR LOVE?*

9th February'11@1721

I'm summoning all my strength and courage to say this:

My 3rd lesson for 2011: SAY I AM SORRY AND I LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU CAN (WHILE THE PERSON IS STILL THERE).

You don't have to please everyone and be someone that you're not.But the least and the best you can do is never try to hurt anyone.It's all boils down to words,in the end.

An unexpected demise reminded me not to unleash words orally/in written form.

I promise not to hurt anyone ever again.I have always avoided that until it gets on my nerves.But,only I know,how badly I will be so unforgiving myself after the 'giving back' time.

"you'll never know what you have till you lose it"-and this applies when you utter/use every single word.

*IF YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE,DO NOT HURT THEM BY WORDS.SORRY IS ONLY SORRY WHEN YOU MEAN IT.*

2nd lesson'11

*how did you know?Anyone spying on me?*

6th February'11@1408

Within 2 days of my last entry,here comes my second lesson:

BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE UNBROKEN.

Sometimes,we might walk away(might seem like we're giving up on something) but very little people know that it's actually a period for deep thoughts and to remind you not to get swayed by things that come in between when you're on a game chasing for for your goals.If it's meant to be,it will certainly come back to you:) Don't think what if it doesn't???always be optimistic:)

Tomorrow I will be starting with my final semester in my med school-my 12th semester! Internal medicine will be our very first rotation,got to get up early and head to 13th hospital and get introduced with our new mentor for another 2 months..I wonder who'd that be.Only left with another 3 months before State exam.I got to reduce my 'irresistible activities' and be more obedient to my books:p..wishing myself the very best for my final semester :)

First Lesson'11.

4th February'11 @1405

1st Lesson for the year 2011:

PRACTICE SIMPLE MIND AND BE MODERATE.

So,I abandoned the month of january with no entries at all except on new year eve.Pretty much occupied,had a real surgery rotation with our ever brilliant,Surgeon Miranov.Surgery rotations could never get any better than this and we're told,he will be our practical classes tutor again the next sem!Excited,that's for sure:)

Holidays for 2 weeks,well that's for winter break.Holidays totally sucked to the extreme this time.Maybe I should have just gone back home,like what Mom had wanted earlier but I decided to stay.1st week was good,I did get on according to my plan and schedule.2nd week,pufff..I'm gone.

Guess we can't avoid meeting with multi-behavioral(not complex) individuals in the journey of our lives,am I right?Just don't let me run into another one,please.

For now,spare me please from all these and let me get on with my new year's resolutions.
