My Medical History...Not Literally

Just decided to talk about an interest of mine. Science.

School Days

I love science. Seriously. I scored better in science than my accounts in SPM. I ponder about science stuff and hang out with science stream people, occasionally flipping through their textbooks. (Oddly I never touched their physics books >.<)

I was very much enthusiatic about science classes, especially the experiments and reports. Though put me in a pure science class and I could probably create havoc. I might just blow a test tub or two or kill something by accident, just to name a few. =p The closest to havoc in general science class was probably getting caught in huge amounts of bad gas (I don't remember the nature of it) and running out with a friend to cough, sputter and restore good oxygen (so-called, it's polluted but it was definitely better than that gas) to our lungs. ^^v

But...I didn't enter science stream 'coz I couldn't think of any possible careers within that field. I was wrong...but...probably a very very good choice anyway. Why? Read on. (Note: To those who have read about human errors in the medical field, what you are about to read may just give you the same feeling. Hahahah!)

Lady Torso

Today I was at a workshop where I learned about 6 healing sounds. Basically you just use your own voice to heal your internal organs. It's probably like accupuncture without needles. No pain, of course. Really easy, really good. But that's not what I want to talk about really.

Now, the speaker, Dr Jannie, a nice young-old lady. Haha I said young-old 'coz she's elderly but looks really good for her age. Cute too. =p She brought a mannequin named, Lady Torso. It's basically a model of the female body, inclusive of detachable organs. ;p She used it to show us, the audience, where each organ was. (Yeah, it was more than a sound workshop. It was anatomy class too. xD) And since they were detachable, Dr Jannie accidentally popped most of the organs out by accident when she propped up Lady Torso to stand straight on the table. xD All the organs fell out and on to the ground...ploop ploop ploop ploop~ xD

Dr Jannie's friend picked up all the organs and simply just chucked them on the figure without properly placing them back in. Yeah, it wasn't a nice sight. I won't want any of my organs looking like Picasso's masterpieces. Hahahahah!! So I got the chance to fix Lady Torso up. *grins* It was like playing Lego...though this was much nicer than Lego. xD I managed the lungs before I was diverted away and my mom took over.

She has about just as much interest in anatomy as I do but wasn't so sure with the body structure. So she took out EVERYTHING. xD xD xD When I got back... *jawdrop*

Me: Mom! What are you doing?
Mom: Oh. I just decided to strip her of her organs to have a better look.

@@ xD xD xD

We got most of the organs back in. The last part was tricky, where does the spleen go? We took quite awhile, figuring where to put it but we just couldn't get it. So I asked Dr Jannie's friend who was formally a nurse, what is the function of the spleen? She said it was almost useless like the appendix. So.... I decided, "Let's just leave the spleen out. Lady Torso doesn't need it." xD xD xD

Yup. That's why it was a really good choice that I didn't go in to science stream. I could've done some serious damage to my poor patients. xD

We got her back in one piece anyway. Yay! ;p Now I wish I could do that all over again. xD It was fun.

Theme Hospital

When I was younger, I use to play this "Sims"-like game, Theme Hospital. Basically you run the hospital, build rooms, hire doctors and other staff, etc. The game is really really cool. =D Plus it has some really sick jokes too. xD However, I could never finish the game. I always end up dying at Level 5 or something. =( Not surprising anyway at the rate how I'm running the hospital. xD

1. I work my staff to death. If they work slow, take too much breaktime, ask for salary increaments too often = I sack them. No excuses. xD

2. My patients can get really sick. That they end up vomitting all over the place and probably end up dying on a pile of their own vomit as Death comes for them. xD Yup, I probably have the highest death rate amongst hospitals. xD Sometimes I even have to send patients home just 'coz I don't have enough resources to cure them. They'll probably die on their way home. Oops... <.<>.>

3. I don't have proper building structure. Most of the rooms could probably cram up together and the patients might just get stuck at the corridor on their way to the toilet. xD

Well..I probably have more but the first is enough to ruin a real hospital. xD And it's probably why I'm in to accounts now. xD

So this concludes why it was a really good thing that I didn't enter in to science stream. xD You may all sleep soundly tonight. xD xD xD

Books~ And More, Of Course. =p

Books galore!! Yesterday there was a MPH warehouse sale (in fact, it's on until tomorrow) and wow! It was fantastic! Although the crowd was.. @@ There was enough air and dust for everyone and I'm pretty sure almost everyone was sweating there. But I'm still impressed with the tidiness of the whole place. I mean...the warehouse has been on few days before I visited and it's still so neat and rather book-finding-friendly. The prices were reasonable too. I found 4 books that I'd been eying on the past few months and I got another cute doggy-humour comic book as my aunt's birthday present (a belated one, of course). ^^v

At the entrance to the warehouse was like a bazaar. Hahaha There were so many stalls, selling ice-cream, drinks, fruits and even kebab! But most of them were mainly ice-cream stalls. It was a hot day. *nod nod* Hm...come to think of it, that road itself, almost every corner was a warehouse sale or a bazaar. @@ Amazing.

However, that was not the end of my book shopping. Hahaha I was dragged to Carrefour by my aunt in the evening and we ended up buying few more books. Yeah, book crazy! Hahahah It's like stocking up for winter, except you don't eat or burn 'em. =p It keeps me feel satisfied though. I got the books I wanted. ^^ Besides, I rarely buy books. I normally just window-shop. xp (Psst~ I have yet to visit Times's warehouse sale. xD Though I think I might let it pass. <.<>.> Hm...)

Ok, let's put the books aside now. There's something wrong with the computer lately. The fonts just turned bold or italic, mostly bold. It feels so...emphasized. >.<'ll I hope it turns back normal some day. T.T

I hope I turn back to normal too. It's official, I'm sick today. It's like someone just turned on the tap of my nose and forgot to turn it off. No worries people, it's flu but NOT swine flu. = ='ll Got some dry cough too. Really irritating. Anyway, it's official today because my body was threatening to fall sick the past few days. My sister was already sick then. *shrugs* And I have classes the next week!!! Argh~!! My mom made a comment that I was always sick before exams. I think it's just coincidence....I think. = =

Ok, time to take that medicine.... *hiss* By the way, thanks Yeen May, for the songs. =p I drove all the way to dojo just for them. xD
