Midway through Medicine
postings,that is. 3 of our 6 weeks postings in medicine this term have been completed! though i haven`t read even close to half of what i should have read! just the number of books available to study medicine is enough to confuse the most determined person. add to this, the innumerable signs we have to pick up clinically, names of all those signs to remember,specific drugs of choice for each type of a disease(i did not know the drug of choice for legionnaire`s pneumonia), comments from our professors that we are not reading at all.....those only-professors-can-hear murmurs,especially the early and mid diastolic murmurs, can leave you quite frustrated, make you think- aren`t my ears normal? what if i dont hear these murmurs at all??? this is getting tougher and tougher. add to it, the many distractions on tv,the localites like me have to face, what if the ipl is over, euro 2008 has started, the french open finals is today, a tri-series involving India-Pakistan-Bangladesh has begun!.....
