waiting for Summer is like waiting for my neroli and roses aromatherapy candle to burn down to the pink rose part at the bottom..but there is so, so much orange neroli at the top..~
today's pathology lecture is very bizarre. the topic was 'Fungal and Parasitic Infections' and there were many unanimous 'uuugghh' and 'aaaggghhhh' from the class as we were shown wonderful pictures of infected foot, infected nails, infected tongue, and i prayed to God to please please don't let Dr. Cordoran show us the picture of an infected female genitalia as he was explaining it because i totally would have puked...and he didn't. *phew.
he was also teaching us about the numerous types of parasitic worms, how they manifest themselves and the amazing things we have to do to diagnose these patients (read: take a sample of their feces). one of the loudest unanimous UUUUUGGGH from the class came when he told us about the time when he removed a worm from his patient's perforated ear drum.
....fascinating.
my favourite lecturer quotes of the day are;
'this drug will paralyze the worms, and you need to tell this to the patients because when they feel something wiggling coming out they go absolutely mental'
'such a good topic to be learning after lunch, right?'
oh and p.s. i totally failed as a human being today. a guy fell off his bike in the middle of the traffic light intersection near my house and i was the only pedestrian walking by, and i didn't go and help him because i was on the way to class and because he looked okay. but a guy stopped his car and went and helped the guy who fell, and i just basically felt like an epic fail :( he was groaning in pain, too. uwwaaaaaa. i'm sorrryyyyyy...lain kali atiq pegi tolong, janjiiii.
