Right. I'm now a little more calmed down. Going to skip the stupid trauma round tomorrow, so I'll be able to get more than 7 hrs of sleep at last (I hope!). Today wasn't bad. Saw a lady with osteoarthritis and double total knee replacement, she was a little garrulous though - spent an hour just taking the history!

And FINALLY. Did my first ever anterior drawer test and Lachman's test on a very, very pleasant young man. He had the patience to entertain almost all 14 of us at CGH, and still thought it was entertaining! You just got to love patients like these. Did an apprehension test on another young man with recurrent shoulder dislocations too. Had a looong 2-hour tutorial in the afternoon about polytrauma, and we visited a patient with a degloving injury. Yikes. The photos ... all the tendons, meat and whatnot all exposed, with a few open fractures and dislocation of the foot. Ran over by an excavator ... he'll be scarred for life, in more ways than one.

Just fed my tank, had a little problem with the purple gorgonian. I think its polyps are a little too small to take even cyclops, since it keeps regurgitating them. Will have to keep fingers crossed and hope that it's either photosynthetic, or it takes phytoplankton that I add.

Time for bed soon, YAY!!! Had to resort to sleeping in the car today, I was too tired. I'm stressed and freaked out by all my groupmates. Refer to pre-posting posts. It all turned out as expected. The supermen and superwomen in my group. They freak me out. Time to add more photos onto my voodoo dolls.

OK, what am I talking about? High time for bed, I think. Talking absolute rot.
