lists are so low-effort

1) I have finally been inside an operating theatre! Wearing scrubs! Standing with my hands tightly clasped while someone's skull was opened and surgeons poked around inside their brain. IT WAS AMAZING.

2) I have (also finally) put a cannula in a real person, as opposed to a rubber blood arm. Granted, the real person was another medical student (we were bored) and there's a bruise on my hand from her initial attempt at reciprocation, but it's nice to be able to say 'yes' when patients ask 'have you done this before?'

3) [livejournal.com profile] highlyeccentric dropped off a parcel for me, because she is amazing :) Chocolate cupcakes and Avon lipstick! Just what a girl feels like after a long day.

4) [livejournal.com profile] ryokophoenix and I have started Being Human, and so far we love everything about it <3

BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINZ

Every time I watch Code Blue, I think of you :3 (J-drama about a bunch of newbie doctors in the emergency ward).

Heh. You should have seen the photos on my camera back a few years ago after I had lent it to my little brother to take to one of his medical dissection labs. He didn't clean it out before returning, so when I was flipping through then lo and behold, there was BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Man, I love newbie-doctor dramas :) I imagine Japanese newbie-doctors are twice as overachieving and neurotic as Australian ones, too.

Oh TOTALLY! That's the funny bit...all that melodrama? It's SO real XD
I like it because of all the medical jargon that gets thrown around, it's super interesting :3 Doesn't hurt that the lead is a favorite of mine XD

For a second there I thought you means CLEAN it, as if he'd dropped it in someone's open chest and got it all bloody or something XD
Now that I never have to study anatomy again, I'm actually missing it!

That is some awesome. I'm so jealous of item one!

Cannulation ftw! It's such a good feeling, isn't it!
Do you get an anaesthetic rotation? Big supply of veins to cannulate there...

CHOC-O-LATE is what we need!

Wow... medical school sure is different than art school. Over here boredom usually results in drawing comic strips of Boba Fett marrying the other person's mom or something.

I love hearing tales of your med school adventures. I can't imagine studying something so... actually relevant and useful! I am awed!! XD

HAY FRAR

This is unrelated but I just found an etsy that I fucking love and I think you'll love it too: http://www.etsy.com/shop/missxaestheticlabs

Especially the scalpels. Who doesn't love scalpels? (Okay, I didn't love them when they were cutting my neck open, but details details.)

Ooh, I like the bracelet with heart charms, and the ribcage necklace.

1)... you're slightly disturbing sometimes.

2)... ahahahaha. Bruises are par for the course though, my arms go interesting shades of yellow any time anyone takes blood out of me.

3) I AM amazing. It's true. I'm glad you liked the cakes :D:D

These posts are my favourite! I'm super jealous, though. All I've been doing is stabbing/being stabbed with needles. It's just the other MAs for right now, but still. I long to see a surgery. Once I finish my physical next week I will be eligible to go out and to my internship and then get a real job. That is still scary to me. I do look forward to hearing more about your adventures!

But you will have a REAL JOB! I am still two years away from that.
