Fun CSU :D

I'm annoyed because while I tried to sync my iPod, I forgot to tick the box 'manually manage songs' and I deleted all my songs from my iPod.

CSU was FUN! I had Dr. Saw (I think that's her name). She was strict with us but she made it enjoyable. Even when we don't give the right answers, she'd tell us the homework and remind us constantly. I managed to do light and deep palpation today. It wasn't perfect, but it was okay. I also manage to do a renal punch. That was fun. Call me weird but I thought that it'd be more complicated than it seems. I've heard stories that in one of the previous semesters, all but one student failed because he punched too hard and caused pain to the SP. :S

After washing our hands, we were standing in one row. Then the doctor asked each and every one of us to give a point/answer to her question.

Dr: What do you look for in the patient's hand?

*OKAY, I know this! I'll say leuconychia or koilonychia ^^* But since I was the 5th person to answer... The previous four have mentioned what I could think of. It did not happen just once but a couple of times. Wai Kit and Arthur are lucky because they are the first two who gets to answer.

Other funny things happened when it comes to explaning the procedure. When a person is lost for words, then the next thing said would be 'This examination involves some touching and feeling. It will require you to expose yourself.' The doctor stopped us there and then. I guess it was because we did not know how to put it in a proper way. I would never say that because I feel awkward and shy. Yeap, shy. So, the proper way is by saying 'This procedure would require you to lift up your shirt/remove your gown (the white shirt with ribbons in front that SPs wear).'

There was also the time when the lecturer told us which parts have got marks. Being the smart one, I just had to pretend like I'm serious *which was really obvious* and say 'Are my hands warm enough for you?' Next thing I knew, the lecturer sais 'Aahh!! That gives you 0.5 marks!' I just stoned. lol. I knew it carried marks. Then, she asked me what expression would the patient give if he is in pain? I said, 'Discomfort' but the actual word was 'GRIMACE'. Arthur was making funny faces at me when I looked at him with a straight face because the lecturer was looking at me. Hilarious it was. Now the word is stuck in my head. hehe.

Other than that, it's been quite a day of stoning. My eyes are just tired all the time and dry. Lectures were okay too. There was only one lecture because the other lecturer did not turn up. Did I sleep today in class? Hehe. Well, I KO-ed for a while during the video which was shown. It was 42 minutes. Luckily, Joshua nudged me. ^^
