I passed my exams.
I cannot believe that it will indeed be my final year next year! After so many years. I’m finally at the home stretch. Feeling both relieved and scared. Am I really ready for the world?
Going home soon.
Hello, people. I miss ya’ll.

Also you need to keep the noise down in the clinic. Talking loudly in the corridors, burping etc. is not acceptable and is unprofessional. Don’t do it.

For the first time today I didn’t have a 5th year in with me during patient visits. It’s not as daunting as I thought it would be. As a matter of fact I think I fair better without a 5th year. I depended on her too much. Now that she’s not there I just HAVE to make things work! Which I did. =D
I’m quite proud of myself.
Slowly and surely. I’m getting there. Another 2 and a half semesters to go and I’m outta here!

This semester is turning out to HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention the amount of reading that has to be done! My new bedtime story book – Yochum and Rowe (skeletal radiology).
I feel suffocated. The amount of uni work AND house work that’s piled up, not to mention taking care of senior piggies with lumps. Not funny.
I want to beat the crap out of someone.
Volunteer, anyone?

I found a lump on the piggies. Both. =(
Lily’s appear to be fairly mobile. I’m just assuming its an abscess.
Yung’s on the other hand is less mobile and is tender to the touch. I’m really praying that it’s nothing serious. Have made an appointment with the vet on Thursday.
It’s really emotionally draining to have one thing happen after the next. Not to mention the financial burden. I’ve gotten an estimate from the nurse that it might cost me anywhere from $300-600 for a pig. I will be so fucking broke. Seriously so broke. Please please please let it be a straight forward problem. I don’t think I can afford the vet bills.
Sometimes we do things that we think are for the best but I’ve come to realize what might be a good idea at that time does not equate to a good idea in the long run.
People annoy me. They seriously do.
I am officially in white. Meaning I get full patient privileges. I am so scared. I hope I get nice patients in tomorrow.

Or is this exam easier than the ones before? Hm……
I hope I’m not in over my head.
I can’t wait ’till it’s all over. I just want to vege out and play the sims and not use my brain for awhile.
Yup yup.
p/s: In a few weeks I’ll officially be able to treat patients. So scary.

A patient came in with lower cervical pain.
Xrays were ordered and some consodilation in the upper lung fields was detected.
Suspected apical lung tumour.
Scary to think that what might be a simple neck pain may turn out to be lung cancer.
=(

I saw a 78 years old patient today and thought that it’s scary to live up to that old. Especially when your health isn’t really all that great.
Bilateral calcification in carotid arteries. Right calcification of femoral artery. Open heart surgery for a bypass. Has difficulty getting out of bed or from lying to sitting. Skin cancer. Groin pain. Super tight musculature in lower back and right hip.
Fucking scary.
I sure as hell don’t want to end up like this when I’m 78 years old.

Little wobbly old ladies are nice.
They are not lying when they said that patients DO scream out in pain.
Gone were the days where they spoon feed you with information.
I love what I do.
I am fucking exhausted.
