the week it was

not so quick recap of the one hell of a week

freaking early start of the week. 730 and there I was, in scrubs n rolling patient into OR at Foothills, on Monday morning! worked til 1230, grab a slice of vege pizza from the cafeteria and headed to group discussion on labour and delivery.after that, decided that brain already exhausted and went home instead of rolling into lectures

Tuesday is clinical informatics exam, a 15 mins exam seeing how well you do searches for relevant articles for clinical question. Yeah, I heard ya...FTW eh? and so funny they have to sent us 5 emails reminding that we have to sit for the exam haha nmpak sgt student tak amek port pon subject ni

got my flu shot on Wednesday. FYI, saya takut jarum but yet, I'm on my way becoming the one doing the jabbing n more haha then got discussion on professionalism, blergh I know...see all the extra work they put us thru med school? to think we only have to focus on learning the body parts n how it works n the diseases haha high hopes for u med keeners :p

other than the usual lectures and one group discussion session, Thursday pretty ok. Physical exam session got canceled so went for neuro exam review. soalan no 1 dh salah hahaha but in my defense, mmg i can't make head or tail of the picture for the question even after 10 times seeing it...anyway, kira2 markah n praying hard that passing mark won't be that hard or I'm screwed! Then went to practice breast exam, speculum exam and bimanual exam for next day Well Woman session, of course the practice on models first before you get the real patient to practice on...got home n check the email n the result for neuro exam already in inbox *dup dap* I passed! by 2 marks! who cares! I freaking passed!!! wohooot!

Friday's group discussion a bit out of box, just sit back n watch one of us do history and exam on emergency case in obstetrics. Decide to hang around til Well Woman session on 1pm. So the Well Woman is a learning experience where they have volunteers coming in n you get to practice ur skills in taking sexual history and then performed gynae exam. The history part is where you get to ask personal, sensitive question about their sex life and yada yada. Then the examination part where you do breast exam and pelvic exam. Yes, you get to 'massage' the breast n put your hands into their vajajay n said its all for learning purpose, med school do have it perks. And yes, we have the same teaching session for man called Well Man in 1st year. For the man you get to exam their penis n stuck ur fingers up the anus. Still think medicine is a glamorous work?

the week felt super long that when the session finished I was so relieved that it's finally weekend! parrrrtayyyyyyy timeeeeee peepsssssss!
