OK, eating my solitary lunch of chicken pie (Penny's pies are wonderful - she's the florist near my place who helps run a deli too) and bacon rolls while taking a break at the computer. Fled home after tutorial. Dr. Hsu made us clerk 1 long case each, in front of him. I got a pulmonary TB case, and it didn't go too bad. Loads of room for improvement though. Stan got a lovely aortic + mitral regurgitation case with collapsing pulse. And I learnt today, why the classic features of AR do not manifest when there is associated MR. Things like Corrigan's Sign .. the lovely "dancing carotids" =D You've just got to love the names! I can't imagine trying to listen to an early diastolic murmur superimposed on a pan-systolic murmur though. Almost impossible. EW got a renal transplant case, and this time it's Cryptococcus meningitis. Damn. I hope I won't get something like that .. who'd think of getting Kernig's sign for meningitis in a renal transplant lady with headache?

Really got to mug renal medicine ... crap. Let me say that again - CRAP. My test is on Mon, and I heard from Minnie Mouse that my tester's not very pleasant. Shit. And there's the MCQ test on Tues. How?!? Boo hoooooooooo ................

Off to study.
