so it seems my friends and i have started an awesome new tradition! last night was our 2nd dinner party! the theme was "fiesta," and we went all out with fajitas, beans, rice, guac, tortilla soup, dessert, etc - add to that hilarious convos, and it was an awesome night! have i mentioned how awesome med students are? so funny. and dorky. we may or may not have been criticizing grey's anatomy for their medical (in)accuracies.
AND we've already planned an italian themed dinner "partido!" for after the next test... bring.it.on.
also, i had my first skills exam this week... we learned how to do the head/neck exam, musculoskeletal exam, and heart/lungs/abdomen exam, and then we had to rotate through stations and perform the exams on standardized patients... well, this braniac attempted to feel for the heart on the RIGHT side. now i'm not sure how much you know about anatomy, but the heart definitely points towards the LEFT. luckily, i corrected myself and laughed it off. even better, i almost told the patient that i felt the heart beat on the right side, bahaha.
so we started a new unit called MCT: molecules, cells, and tissues. good news: we only spend 2 hours a week in lab instead of 10. bad news: i already miss anatomy! development, biochem, and histology are about to eat my lunch! but on the plus side, we only have 1-2 hours of lecture a day. and lots of days we have even less! bahaha - i'm really not sure how my friends go to class 9-5pm: CRAZY. i complain if i'm stuck in class past noon...
other than that, life is good! andddd halloween shenanigans are happening all weekend! hooray! pro for being in med school: you can still be immature college kids, and no one judges you for it.
