I'M FREEEEEEEE (not in an 'are you being served?' kinda way though)

I did it, I quit my job. I was tough but what can I say......i'm a strong person. Although everyone there is so lovely and we have the BEST time. They talk alot about Rectal examinations, and arses in general, its their fave topic of discussion, although we also talk about amputations, homones, bird flu, getting hold of prescription medication and how recreational drugs work. I'm gonna miss that Saturday banter so if anyone else wants to talk to me about any of those topics or some new ones just drop me a line....I have no life remember.

OK here is the schedule for the near future:
Tomorrow going to the BBC recording of 'The Powder Room'
Monday-Tuesday Lectures ~(yawn)
Wednesday-experiment with eammon then learning how to intubate (stick a tube down their throat) people at LINKS
Thursday-trying to essay write AND get my BSc application in
Friday-BSc deadline. I'm applying for:
  1. Experimental Pathology
  2. Immunology and cell pathology
  3. medical physics

Saturday-Work

Sunday-St Patrics Day

Its essay writing day

Hi its Thursday. Now here is another fact....I failed the exam yesterday (well probably), it was a new type of exam and I have not yet established a technique for it yet. I shall show you an example of the questions: actually I cant be bothered but they were hard.

I have some very exciting pictures of my MAN boots (say man with deep voice!), and my flurecent jacket...its all for the st patrics day parade.

I am going to go and write my essay on WENEGERS GRANULOMATOSIS. I thought it deserved capital letters as it is a fab pair of words. Expect me back soon with extracts. byee

Exams grrr

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee e

Thats cos I finished my exams (well till wednesday at least)
These 2 were solid like carbon or some other soild material. I had an OSPE (practical) and MEQ (essays) the questions were sooo hard, I shall give an example:

Name 4 endocrine systems involved in osteoporosis?
Now it may just be me, but I could only think of Old age and stuff todo with lack of oestrogen.

Another example is what is the cause of secondary hypoparathyroidism and how is it treated?
Apparently it was to do with MAN but I wrote about ectopic causes i'm so dumb!

Any hooo just EMQ left then i'm freeeeee (for 3.5 weeks) till the next exam.

Hi you people of the Universe.

  • *Knock Knock*
  • "Who's there?"
  • "You know"
  • "You know who?"
  • "That's right, Avada Kedavra!"

OK in no particular order: tube train, lecture theatre 1 (ours!!!), and my (mini) forest+socks drying above my radiator.

Exams,stress,no sleep, need a wee,(polyuria),need a drink,(polydipsia),madness setting in, or re-emerging,hmm addiction to commers also apparent,,,,,,,,

UPDATE

The cat is alive! Basically the vet cleaned out the pustule and injected her with anti inflammatories and anti biotics. Now she's at home very much pissed off with mum for sticking her in a box (she doesnt like her box and has previously pooed in it-probably to display her disgust for it!!)....im off for pizza now, my hypothalamus is firing rappidly, and tryptophan levels are low! see ya

Pharmacology

Well its official, pharmacologists are crazy. In our lecture today we learnt; 'The international anthem of the European Histamine Research Society', Yes its an actuall song and it goes like this:

For it´s mine, for it´s mine,
Decarboxylated Histidine.
We´ve extracted you and weighed you.
By the living gut assayed you.
But we´ve yet to find your function - Histamine!
1.
We talk of toxicosis / migraine, shock or halitosis
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
Trauma, burns and inflammation / headache, pain and constipation,
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
2.
You give asthmatic wheezes / the allergic sneezes,
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
Though obscure as yet, the fact is / you´re involved in anaphylaxis,
Singing Histaminosis all the day
3.
Since the time of Dale and Barger / your files are longer, larger
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
The control of circulation / then gastric stimulation,
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
CHORUS
4.
Mast cells by the dozen / and basophils, your cousin,
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
They come and they go / fluctuate to and fro,
Singing Histaminosis all the day
5.
We heard a lot of groaning / from the upstart, Serotonin,
Singing Histaminosis all the day.
Down with 5-hydroxytrypta / and up with good old hista,
Singing Histaminosis all the day
6.
Each year we meet in May / to concentrate and play,
Singing Histaminosis all the day
What luck to have such friends / to cater for our trends,
Singing Histaminosis all the day

See http://www.ehrs.org.uk/song.htm for the next 18 verses!

Can I just add that there is a grand total of 24 verses all on the wonders of Histamine (the stuff released during hayfever and anaphlaxis etc....). Off to the next lecture now its- Absorption and distribution of drugs. Woooo!!!!
