In response to phil then...i've just come back lugging shopping for house...plenty of veg, chicken, personal stuff like chips and bratwurst..that sorta thing. It looked light, but on the walk home i had this weird grimace on my face that was supposed to show I didnt think it was too heavy when, in fact, it was pulling my arms out from my sockets...at least i'll get bratwurst for lunch for a few days.
3 weeks plus to exams...and i've got 5 subspecialities to study. Hating to be the spoilsport in my smart household who seemingly study much less than me and seem to do just fine, but am forced to forgo my daily Dota game, and Scrubs till i finish my study quota each nite...and its not gonna help when by next week, most of liverpool uni will hava finished their exams and I'll be among the poor medics slaving away when others are out bbbqing and frisbeeing..
Had pretty good ward teaching today by a young consultant. Premature babies, really a lot of problems la...and they are so so so small. I've never seen such small humans b4, seriously..wonder how the neonatologists have the guts to mess around with their frail bodies. Some of them you can't even see them for the mass of tubes and blankets around their incubators. Finally found out the name of the baby assigned to me and two others today. We're supposed to check the history, eexamine if possible and present the case on friday to a registrar.
So my to do list for today:
Eat my fried rice lunch
Cut up chicken for tmrw
Type out the history and email it to my group
Write up a core case
Get some sleep
Write up another core case
Dinner
Write up a third core case, hopefully a fourth as well
Read clinical handbook on core cases
Read up on what normal babies have wrong with them
Hopefully watch a few scrubs episodes
Sleep
It always seems that whenever I plan, nothing seems to get done. We'll see.
BTW, the cd Kisses From Heaven by 3 great Christian singers: Michelle Tumes, Susan Ashton and Christine Dente is surprisingly good to study to.
