Salam alaikom wa rahmatollah wa barakatoh
Dear readers,
I just finished my last anatomy exam for the year... I will take anatomy of the brain next year in Brain And Mind (BAM) next year. We took everything else this semester in Human Structure and Function (HSF)... I still have one more exam this Monday, then the triple jump, with which the course formally ends.
However, I am not blogging about exams now, but about a very special event happening this Sunday, "The Memorial Service"... It is an event held by our class to honor the donors of the bodies we studied anatomy on... The whole school is invited to witness us speak about our gratitude to the generosity of the donors... It is amazing how they chose to be giving and contributing to the society, even when they are dead....
We are going to give speeches, light candles, and place flowers near tiles with their names...
I know we will have a lot to say because, although we never got to meet them, we now know alot about them... At least that, without their help, we could not study anatomy, or become doctors...
Well... Got to go now... Talk to you later..
Best =)

It's been a long time !
As salam alaikom wa rahmatollah wa barakatoh
Dear readers,
It has been a long time since I last blogged... However, I can tell you my year was really busy and full of events... I saw cadavers for the first time, worked with tissue specimen, met patients, and discussed clinical cases.
It's almost the end of my first year in medical school. I am now doing HSF (Human Structure and Function), where we study Radiology, Embryology, Anatomy, Histology and Physiology... Yes, a lot of "ologies", but the nice thing is that we take it one system at a time... I think it's easier this way...
I'm having an exam this Sunday....Well, I have one exam, if not more, every week... I don't understand those who say Med school is easier than Premed... It's definitely more exciting, though.. You get called "Doctor" by patients, even when it's only your first week in hospital...
I'm also doing MPS1 (Medicine, Patient, and society)... Our second OP (Office Preceptor) session has just started... My preceptor is an internist, and he does post renal transplant councilling.. What I liked most on my first day, was his comment about women being more couragous when it comes to organ donations, and that, throughout his 20 years of experience, about 2/3 of donations were from women to their spouses or family members... Go big pink !!!
There is so much more I'll need to tell you about.... Stay tuned... This is just the beginning...
Regards,
Rana
