post exams rantings

ahhh...exams are over. finals is in 3 weeks time but never so relieved that the semester exam is over. need the breathing space. it had been a hectic 3 weeks running up to the exam.

constant reading with the end no where in sight can be a little a taxing on the human spirit. out of the hundreds of pathophysiologies, aetiologies, clinical features, investigations and treatment of diseases, only a selected few will be chosen and pasted on the question paper according to the lecturers' whims and fancy. spot the questions you say?? well it aint like PMR and SPM where you can get a workbook of thai kuang book shop and mug the shit out of it. so how in the world do you read and store everything in your brain. and my brain is like a 4A6 computer. damm it!!! thats not even pentium technology yet man.

how isit possible for us to store all these information in our mind and then regurgitate it out when you are a full fledge doctor. for crying out loud if we have problems remembering stuff for exams, what about when you are actually practicing medicine.

what if its a life threatening condition?? what if there is a guy in critical condition with blood all over him and is dying in front of you. his family members are shouting incessantly, tugging at your lab coat, crying and asking you whats wrong. begging you to save him. what happens if the hard drive in your head crashes at that critical moment or goes "this is an illegal operation. shutting down program"??

HOW??!!!

thank god for dermatology.....
