Lol
Apparently there is also something called too much sleep...
Having thus slept a good proportion of time (somewhere between 9-10 hours, which is a lot for me) My body suddenly refuses to sleep!
Suddenly there is a want to revise those damned lectures from the last week. There is a want to finally start making the first few pages of the college magazine. A rush of ideas to write into my comic. :P I need to get sleep like that more often.
Last Thursday I had the most horrendous clinical session. I do not know what happened there but I made the greatest fool of my self. Let me show you:-
Me - The tonsils are healthy, pink and shiny
Demonstrator - You can see the tonsils?
Me - ...yaah...
Demonstrator - Could you please stick out your tongue for me sir? Ok bend your head... No roll your tongue the other way... ... ... Do you have tonsils?
Patient - Nope got them removed when I was seven
-_-;;;
What was I thinking I have no freaking idea. I think I was either staring at some Pillar of Fauces or pharynx. Bah...
Then I didn't pick up any of his damned resin comp restorations on the incisors. I got really really banged for that one.
Demonstrator - This is a really fundamental part of dentistry. You have to be able to pick out natural tooth structure, restorations and diseased tooth. You should be able to do this by now. I expect you to be able to do this by the end of semester.
There's a kinda hidden "or else" at the end of that sentence.
Sigh and I can't really blame her. My clinical skills are atrocious. Same goes with my exam results. I foresee very very bad trouble...
And it's way too late to turn back now. This is perhaps the greatest challenge I have ever faced.
Put a brave face on and keep walking after all I'm nothing if not a survivor.
(And funnily enough, I told my mom and she was like - That's alright. I was like - huh??? And she goes, what do you think we all never made those kind of mistakes through our clinical years?... Momma knows best)

so long you do learn from them, mistakes are good :) like my fellow medical students ... we make mistakes all the time.
Dr-tutor: What is this drug?
One of our boys: Er, it's for fibrosis in the lung.
Dr: Nope, it CAUSES fibrosis in the lungs ...
lol.
still not as bad as seeing pink healthy shiny structures that aren't there XD
if it makes you feel better I missed a cavitated lesion that was present both occlusally and distally. Cavitated. how embarrassing. I mean at least a good resin composite is the same colour as the tooth.
And I was told by my tutors that my designs will never stand up structurally in reality. :P
