National youth day

Alumni association is conducting a formal function celebrating swami vivekananda jayanthi (150th birthday) and national youth day.

The exponential lag phase

Time has been flying past the first internal. (That's exactly how the clock has been behaving all these years - overcome the inertia, and speed up to infinity)

human physiology experiments. Yeah! Stethoscope in our ears. Finally came to know what exactly those had to do in measuring blood pressure.

i discovered an awesome blog by one of our seniors - li-files.blogspot.com

skull looks cute.

I'm attending guitar classes now.

And, seniors finished their exams (or not?)

Happy New Year!

The year's first mass bunk happened on the last day of 2011. Saturday. Up to 15 people were reported to have attended the classes.
And as expected, it was celebration throughout the midnight.
The mess hall turned into a dance ball.
The TV was the DJ.
Then, burning the hostel. Palm leaves, fire-logs, kerosene - inflammable combination.
Wishing everyone around the fire.
All networks were jammed at the right time.

+I learned the art of pulling out an all nighter. To finish the gross anatomy record. It was fun. Theophylline (instead of the preferred caffeine) and Taylor Swift's Love Story.

Then, yeah, Dr Asha, physiology dept., has agreed to give us all the presentations she uses in the class.Well, that could be called a stride towards being like MIT.

I guess my brain needs some sleep. ZZZ...

Brain in the Bag

Friday was an awesome day at the dissection lab. Where we turned carpenters. Saw, axo, knife, chisel, and what not. Breaking open the skull, we took out the brain. The soft, really palpable tissue, in our hands, finally proving that brain, does, exist.

I came home for Christmas.

Hernia Ne Bana Di Life

This post dedicated to Shubham, who is right here messaging some of the new friends he got, thanks to the inguinal hernia he had and which was operated y'day morning by Dr S K Balakrishna.

A surgery! What a way to start medical life!

Students' special ward, is the place. 11, 12.

And the fantastic thing about it is that he's now able to walk for short distances by this time I'm posting this.

Bactoclav (amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate injection) is the life saving antibiotic. And thanks to interns and pgs, we've stocked enough of those.

Food, is not a problem for him (he's got the tube delivery direct to blood)
but it is, for us. So lemme go and have dinner.

PET CT an introduction

it uses radio active isotopes?

Shows increased enzymatic activity. And cancer cells have increased glycolysis, etc

decisions are based on anato-metabolic imaging

this can be taken to the heart too and brain!
