Tutorial today was absolutely frightful. And as far as I'm concerned, I think that the history I presented was rather good enough. The things he picked on ... my goodness. You'd think I need to install a surveillance camera at my patient's bed to observe him 24/7. I hope it's got something to do with the fact that he was in a nasty mood. 3 of our groupmates came in almost 20mins late, and he blew up twice. PMS. How can HS like him?? Birds of a feather ...

Had to get this junk out. Really seething right now. I did good, hard work on the case, and that old man just threw it right out. OK, it wasn't as bad as that, but hmph!

Shall draw paper effigies of him and tear them up limb by limb. And maybe some butterfly rash, aloplecia, exopthalmos, scleroderma, pectus excavatum, kyphoscoliosis, arthritis mutilans, plaque psoriasis, hirsutism, gynaecomastia, Paget's disease of the nipple, umbilical hernia, genu recurvatum, Charcot's knee, pes cavus, and gangrene of the whole foot.

Right .. just being very mean. And that's cos some tutors are plain mean. He must have been hell of a jerk when he was younger. I hope his grandson or something ends up getting taught by one of us. Char him, broil him, skewer him, hit him left right and centre (not literally ...) and tell him to go home and let his grandfather know what we did to him.

Ah, that's VERY BAD attitude there. You do not do unto others what others have done unto you. And I must add, I was NOT inspired at all by today's teaching. Some tutors (Read: some GOOD tutors) do make you feel lousy after a tutorial, but they ignite a lust for learning as well. You go home, and know that you have deserved the rapping, read up and read hard, and go to the wards the next day with your head a little fuller than it was the previous day.

If you tear students apart during lessons but they end up learning much more, that is education. If you do the same but they go away thinking, "I've not gained from this lesson", then it was needless nastiness, unprofessionalism and very poor teaching.
