Let start with what happened at 12am in the morning ( its when the day starts anyway ). Chloe slept over at my place again. We were on full study mode and drilled lecture notes after lecture notes.
Then the narcolepsy in me settled in at around 1am. In order to prevent sleeping, we cooked mushroom soup to drink. I think it didn't really worked it instead amplify the sleepiness.
Chloe's lousy attempt at trying to take an embarrassing candid shot of me sleeping.
Thats the pig who stayed at my house for those 2 nights.I can practically hear her screaming right now if she reads this. "Pei-Wen!! How can you put such a PIGGLY pic of me!! AArgh my arm look SO FATT!!"
Don't worry dear you look sweet and cute here larrr...
Anyway, my point is that I eventually spent the whole night online, and had a mere 4 hours of sleep. ( I need 8 hours cos i am a pig )
So in the morn, woke up at weee hour of 7am, reached uni at 8am, slept at Chloe's for a while, walked groggily to PBL at 9am, sat through the entire boring lesson, had CSU at 1030am, ate lunch, and then head of to the library to "ATTEMPT" to study... What a futile effort it was.. I slept in the library the whole time, only waking up between intervals to walk to the washroom, or to read 1 sentence of my notes.
Speaking of CSU (clinical skills unit), today's CSU was far more interesting and funnier. Which was a good thing because it managed to keep me awake the whole time.
We learn how to use an auroscope ---> the thingi you put into your ear to see the eardrum and its adnormalities.
Of cause all of us had normal ear drums.. But some of my fellow friends were funny though.
One of them had a lot of ear wax, and the lecturer that facilitated us was like "hey all of you come here n see ear wax". It felt pretty odd though, like we want to see disgusting ear wax, and the poor girl had to sit there still for so long for all 7 of us to finish looking at her ear wax, not to mention bearing the embarrassment too.
Then we learn how to examine people's mouth. We were required to work in pairs for that. Now this time round I was the victim. When my mouth was widely open with a spatula inserted in my cheek, the lecturer decided to walk by. Then she peeked into my mouth and said " Hey come see her sublingual gland!! Its a pretty subulingual gland" Then poor me have to open my mouth for so so so so long for everyone to peek into it!!
And then we were taught how to feel for pulses. Now everyone should know where your radial pulse is (the one on your wrist) and carotid pulse ( the one on your neck ). Today we were taught how to feel the rest of the pulses. There one at the ankle, one at the leg, one at the knee etc etc etc (I won't want to bore you with that).
Now there is one very interesting pulse that caught everyone's attention. The femoral pulse ( inner thigh, next to the male's groin ). So you can now see the awkwardness of the situation. One of my group people Jon just kept laughing and laughing!!! There was a simulated patient with us, and my lecturer was so ignorant about caring his feeling she just said "okay now take of your pant, yeapz, lower some more, wait thats enough, oooh cover cover cover okay"
She felt for his femoral pulse, and asked everyone to do the same. OH-MY-THE-AWKWARDNESS-GAWD!! I was very afraid he was going to have an erection when girls were feeling his femoral pulse. It happened before to seniors. >pray pray<
He didn't erect lar for your info, but oh well, the things we future-doctors get to do. Wait till i experience ladies' vagina inspection!!!
