I've had a few bad days this week. Med school definitely beating me up again...hard this time. Sometimes I wonder, just what in the world is God thinking??? It's going to take a miracle to shape me into a doctor! Well, Praise God He's not thinking in this world, but another unfathomable one where miracles do happen!
Our British chap of a renal physiologist (Dr. Wade) has imparted all of the renal knowledge that he could unto us in the time allotted and returned back to his home in Carbondale, IL. A few more thoughts on what we learned in renal physiology, apparently capillaries is correctly pronounced "cuh-pill-uries" actually caught myself pronouncing it as such during my studies. Hope it doesn't stick as pretty sure I'd receive odd looks of "huh?" from any non-UAG individual in the health field, or probably in the whole US. Also rather comical how it distressed Dr. Wade to have to use dogs instead of medical students for physiology experiments as should a student accidentally die it would be one less tuition being paid. Ahhh yes, the life of a medical student... so highly valued (*note sarcasm).
In Public Health this week we have been listening to what can only be described as the best educated redneck you'll be able to find out there. He really tried to get us interested in Biostatistics. Unfortunately he also failed. It did tick me off however, how he kept insisting that smoking does not cause cancer. I don't care how the surgeon general words it, ask the chemist who's counted the carcinogens found in the composition of a cigarette or better yet, go ask that man who's talking through a machine having lost his vocal cords to cancer due to smoking, or even better yet go ask that person who due to lung cancer is in the cemetery...oh wait...you can't cause he's DEAD!! You want to get all picky about how some "title" puts words on the cigarette box, fine, but I won't be at your funeral. Ok, venting over. Sorry about that, he just really ticked me off!
Felt rather bad for the visiting professor in Immunology as quite often she was the only one laughing at her jokes. Awkward!
More proof that Mexico has one huge addiction to drugs, as of April 29th all drugs in Mexico have been legalized. No, I can not go to the pharmacy and pick up some heroin, but my Mexican neighbor can. Ok, that was an exaggeration, pharmacies aren't carrying such drugs....yet.
pues, que Dios les bendiga
Hasta!

Quitting smoking is the MOST important decision you'll ever make in your life, for you and your loved ones. It is better to start Now, because the longer you stay on it, the more damage it will do to your body.
