Got my stethoscope today! It is Burgundy in colour! :)
We got to use the stethoscopes to listen to the heartbeat in the clinical skills session today. we had to palpate and listen to the apex beat.
Last year I wasn't that keen because when we tried to listen to the
Korotkoff sounds while taking someone's blood pressure, I could not hear a single thing! And the earpieces of the stethoscope hurt my ears quite bad..
maybe the fact that the stethoscope is actually mine, that wearing it feels different.
It didnt hurt my ears!
Hahaha
i could tell how excited my med friends were, as they hung it around their necks, or started reading the manuals, as well as updating all their facebook statuses about their stethoscopes...

Finding out that some med students were actively blogging about their experiences didnt seem to motivate me enough to update. I'd decided not to let any of them know about this blog. Feels more comfortable that way.
So what can a student who has been back in uni for almost a month now, say to her readers?
Life is the usual... I was glad to be back to studying, but there are the odd times when I really wish I was still back home, enjoying the comfort and relaxing time of doing absolutely nothing.
But of course, everything that we have learnt so far, are really interesting. We had a pain tolerance experiment in our Psych Med workshop - when we had to pin a clothes peg to our ear and see how long we can leave it there for. I felt joyous at such a small achievement - ie. i beat all the guys in my team :) i had it on for more than 2 mins, when they could only have it on for 10 secs at the most. Mwahhaha.
I don't like to lose...
I get too competitive...
But, looking at the social calender.. tonight i am going to karaoke with the outspoken ppl.. was really surprised when she invited me, sad to say i was a bit suspicious. But, i will go and have fun!

Back to the Suture
Sunday, July 26, 2009
It's taking me such a long time to start updating - but finally, I am able to take time aside.
Very sleepy now though. Just got back from watching the Med Revue entitled 'Back to the Suture' - it was very funny and entertaining, but some parts were really disturbing.
I especially liked their parody of 'Im on a boat by Tpain' instead of that, the title is 'Stethoscope' hahaha! It was cool, but my ears nearly bled from all the swear words. But the atmosphere was really catchy and addictive!
And just a simple update about my birthday surprise 2 weeks ago. Jenni baked me a cake and some friends came over to our flat that night and we just hang around and played uno. Was going to go to Karaoke but in the end, we didn't.
