The Witch Of Babbling (blog thread)

And now, of course, i cant sleep.

 

Im considering buying conan exiles dlc somewhere in the future because i actually am having a lot of fun with the game since last semester ended. I played a bit today, im on "semi-creative" mode (some adjustments on craft speed, harvest amount and damage, but nothing super major) and im finishing my second house! It is looking CUTE. My character also looks CUTE because i am boggled to inform that in this game everybody is a beefy leather daddy and most of the lady armors are actually more covered up than the dude versions.

 

Sim!Lis is.... so cute

 

another group project where i end up alone, great. at least that one's easy

 

Me: I like everything that I'm studying at the moment
Me, but later: I don't really care about pneumology

 

i wanted to like the things that are direct entry residencies but EVERY SINGLE THING I LIKE HAS A GENERAL HEALTH RESIDENCY PREREQUISITE, SO I'M GRADUATING AT LIKE, FOURTY PROBABLY: a novel

[I got literally all the valvopathies mixed up]

 

i interviewed + did a physical exam on my first ever patient in the lung clinic yesterday and i'm STILL nervous if i did something wrong??? was her blood pressure actually that high or is it just my technique that sucked??? WAS it a heart murmur that i heard on the pulmonic region?? did i switch pulmony and aortic??? she had moderate to severe dyspnea, did i assess it correctly??? oh my god. she was such a sweet old lady with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension and she was so happy to be finally getting her lungs looked at because her first great-grandchildren is going to be born next month and she has a history of sudden death in her family and i'm just. anxiiiiiiety

 

Today we hit 41°C. It is 10pm and still 38. I am having an out of body experience

fifteen billion years later i'm still considering if i should go get checked for adhd because surely my focus issues are just because i have bad character and bad habits and no one has ever mentioned this possibility before because i have never been hyperactive even if everything i see about adult adhd is just very hashtag-relatable

 

i've tried to relisten to my lectures (that i have to record and insert timestamps for the parts i zoned out) for midterms last week and honestly it was just. simlish. half of them were just simlish

 

They'll get better after you've done hundreds of them ;) The biggest tip I can give you is to just keep doing them after you've learned how, otherwise you lose the speed with which you can assess them :)

 

Would drawing them on millimiter paper help? I'm trying to wrap my head around how all the derivations work together and that's one of the things i'm going to try. I have a munch of materials from my upperclasspeoples and books but i feel like i'm missing, like, a kinetic component so i can really understand, you know?

 

medicine is such a weird thing in rich countries. i just read a ct scan is the preferred method for detecting noncomplicated pyelonephritis and my brazilian materials are like LMAO why the FUCK would you do that

 

Possibly an American thing? I worked in internal medicine for 2 years and never once diagnosed a pyelonefritis with a CT scan.

 

probably! I would guess even in the US that would be pretty overkill but standards vary a lot from place to place

 

Like, I can totally understand using that if you have a more complicated case on your hands but for, like, all pyelonephritis?? i wonder if that's one of those gold standard things that no one uses in practice because it's not... practical.

and here in my country with how difficult it is to find, like, an actual ct machine outside of large metropolitan centers...

 

We haven't actually had a class about it, btw. this is all pre-class ~active learning~ reading that i'm doing, which is why i'm asking dumb questions.

 

Good on you for pre-studying! I'm happy to answer any more questions if you want to ask more :)
