“There’s an episode where Theo wants to buy a really expensive Gordon Gartrail shirt (designer) for a date with a girl, but it’s too damned expensive and Cos makes him return it. So Denise, his older sister, offers to MAKE him one. She spends a long time sewing it and finishes on the day of Theo’s date and presents it to him - and it’s hideous. Theo is livid because of just how poorly it’s made. But he sees how hard Denise worked on it, and wears it on his date anyway. Because he loves his sister, not a shirt.”

Going to be a med school teacher bye

I’m sorry

Every time someone says “COPD” (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) I think they’re going to break out singing the chorus of this song:

That’s all BYE

I drew blood today!

(whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?)

wanna know what I did last semester?

Phosphorylase Kinase phosphorylates phosphorylase and phosphorylase phosphorylates glycogen

Currently: Sort of nostalgic for those two weeks where I knew what this meant.

Now I wonder if I’ll remember what this is in two weeks (fig. 22)

Because I haven’t written anything in a while…

(and someone wanted me to write this down!)

I had to be in a wheelchair for a couple of hours last week in order to experience what it feels like. And I was wheeling myself to class and I got stuck! And then I was about to stand up but then this person who had no legs approached me in her wheelchair and said “Hi, Friend!!” and I thought “goddammit, I can’t stand up now” and the person with her laughed at me and said “looks like you don’t know how to use that thing” and laughed and laughed and laughed and then they went past me and when I looked to see if it was clear for me to stand up they both did a double take and laughed and laughed and laughed. Then I stood up and just pushed it the rest of the way.

p.s. Valuable Knowledge Learned In Medical School Today:  Feces that have been stuck in a colon for a year do not smell good. And I may or may not get whiffs of it whenever I put my hands to my face.

The view

Ehm

I’m going to try to transition this into a med school thing (or I guess just my everyday life blog? Which will be 90% medical school. Huzzah. But medical school isn’t just “school” anyway. So uh okay enough justifying). If I have time. Because I had my first exam yesterday and it was an AVALANCHE. Every day for the past two weeks felt like the day before finals. UH OH.

According to some patients that spoke to us: “Well is a large hole” and “Nobody gets out of living alive”. Then this famous actor came (can’t say who, thanks HIPAA!) and told us “I made a living out of dying”. One liners galore! Also the actor went to someone called “John of God” . Which only shows that every person frames their disease differently, and you just have to fit into it.

and basically anything you do can kill the baby

if you put your hand a bit too high on the neck: THE BABY DIES 

if you compress their chest too much: THE BABY DIES
if you ventilate with too much air: THE BABY DIES
if you tilt their head back too much: THE BABY DIES
how am I EVER supposed to do this on a real baby when there is absolutely no room for a learning curve? 

At least I have one of those soaring views to remind me about……stuff (Fig. 20 )
