4th day of ramadhan
it’s autumn,it’s cold and i was walking towards tram no 2 at detsky centre..and of course i missed it..pathetically loooking at falah and bear waving and smiling at me from inside(they made it inside in time)
so,i waited for another 5-6 minutes before cathing the next one..i caught up with my reading in the tram(luckily i managed to save today’s topics inside my pda).it should take around 10 minutes to reach ablastnaya balnitsa so i would make it in time to prof zharkin’s class..or so i thought.there was a traffic jam at the junction near the morphacorpus(later i heard that it was due to faulty traffic lights)just my luck huh.i had to curb the urge to ask the driver to hurry but logic won(trams can’t overtake trams..they move on tracks)so,i had to wait anxiously for another 10 minutes or so for all the trams in front of my tram to clear through.i reached the balnitsa at around 8.33.it’s bad(just yesterday the calm prof explained that our class starts at 8.30 not 8.45)all of the thoughts running thru my brain,i focused on my steps to hurry the 200m walk towards the gynecology building.
and oh yeah..we had to change into scrubs before entering the class.fortunately,todays class is not in prof room but in the ucebnaya komnata in the basement and when i reached it, falah and bear was still changing into their scrubs.due to the lack of time and reluctance of the group girls to go and wait outside while we change.we settled on”jangan tengok blakang aa..salin baju jap”.i was just folding my jacket when the prof walk in..phew..alhamdulilllah..
so the class started..with bear explaining what,how who n etc(everything bout calpitis and vulvitis)..with occasional interruption of phone calls to the prof(he’s the zav,he should be busy)at 9.00 there was a rappart held in the room..all the doctors in the hospital gathered round,they are one happy and noisy lot(i dunno why but,gynecologist and obstetricians seems to be the happiest doctors)it seems that there’s a deficit of patients in the hospital…the prof blames the beautiful babe-leta.it seems nobody would like to be hospitalised during the beatiful days of early autumn.
at around 9.20 the class is continued.with falah,wen im,suraya and latha explaining about myometiritis,endometritis and salpingitis(boring).
after the break we went to the procedure room and saw some really interesting stuffs:
1)a nurse that had coffee colored discharge(that’s bad)
2)an old lady with a tumor in her omentum minor
then we went up to the wards and observed the prof accupunturing a patient(its like kiss of the dragon man,but the health oriented one..heh)the prof really knows the stuff..he remembered hundreds of points(with their chinese name!!)and taught us a few points.we watched a video once..25 years ago he started a programme,to do cesarean sections by electrostimulation of accupoints,so the patient doesn’t need to be anasthesized during the whole operation(anasthesia drugs are helpfull but they have side effects,any method decreasing their usage is really appreciated in medicine)
after class i went home,decided to ponteng lecture(together with some of the guys.heh) and finish a book by maurice bucaille(of course i dozed off after a few minutes)and woke up to see the guys getting ready to play football(i’m not a big fan of football so i never joined any games,mase tak pose pun tak join,ape lagi tgh pose nih)
that night it was yet another “boys night”,we “iftar”ed together and did solat trawikhat ete’s house.
what i’ve learned to day:
1)the main cause of the diseases above are multipartnered unprotected sex..”la taqrabu zina” has another meaning to me now..it’s to protect humanity itself,most of the patient suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease have a very high to become infertile.
2)new vocabs:pharisees,evangelist,ecumenical,lithurgy,incredulous,exegesis.
