I've been very busy with sudden work both paying and non-paying. At least I get to practice photography again.

So I failed to write a recap of 1st year. Crap. I also failed to do very important org stuff, attend a summit on health financing and have a spontaneous dinner with college friends. O the things we do for our dreams.

I'm still going to write that recap. Promise!

Field work has been good but having minimal net access for five days is very hard. I realize how much I like community work but unfortunately, I also realize more and more how I'm too tied up to city life. Good thing I still have a few more years before I have to choose between the provinces or the city. Not that the city is lacking in people to help. Then again, maybe it is just the internet access that bothered me.

I'm going on immersion this afternoon.

First year is finally over. Second sem has been kinder than the first but I know that's just to make up for the B*tch goddess that is LU4. Still busy though and I have to finalize my summer schedule. Unfortunately, making money is not included.

I don't know why those people pushing for natural cures are so obsessed with poop. You don't even secrete your waste in poop. Poop is the part of food your body doesn't want. If you want wastes (toxins if you will) the body truly makes, look into urine, expired air and sweat.

And some people on Sunday 8-9pm AM radio are illegally practicing medicine. They examine, diagnose and treat people through their radio program.

studying for our comprehensive exam while worrying about our research projects.

and I read some of the questions of last year's compre and one question goes like this:

A patient is experiencing nausea and vomiting. What bone is affected?

oh sh*t
re-reading all that we've studied about the human body makes me wanna puke my brains out. the musculoskeletal, head and neck modules makes me want to quit med all together.

the worst part is when you try answering the sample exams and you see how much you forgot then you remember it took you days of re-reading to get that stuff in then you realize you have less than a week left.

so I could have composed that better but who cares, I still have compre to face.
