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
