Borrring

Well well well...... after one month of ortho, i only have one word to say abt it: "Borrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg"
(As i was typing the prior sentence, i tot of a lame pun but decided not to use it as it's really quite lame, think boring as in yawn and boring as in drilling..... nvm)

No matter how much fear Smiling Tiger instilled in me or how good looking i think some of the doctors are, ortho to me is just boring. And it is so definitely not meant for weak unfit girls like me who have trouble everytime doing the Lachman Test (where you have to grab the bottom part of the thigh with one hand and the top part of the leg with another and move them simultaneously). Also for the drawer tests, at first i tot it's not very nice to sit on the feet of injured patients so i tried to do without the sitting, but it's really v diff, and then during the one time ** let me examine him, i of cos jumped at the chance to sit on him (that just sounds so wrong) and the posterior drawer was a piece of cake. He reassured me that actually i'm very light so after that even the poor auntie i examined got sat on. [**'s name is in * because i foresee alot of med students swarming to examine him if word gets out that he has a pcl]

And that time SC and i had the misfortune of standing thru a surgery for scoliosis (in prof hui's words, we were fortunate to be able to see "the worst case of scoliosis we've ever had") that was FOUR bloody hours long.

And the osces are so crappy... they have to choose the lousiest x-rays to test us. The compression # on the spine lateral film was in a tiny wedge of vertebral body AND there just happen to be a huge black patch next to it.

As i'm typing this entry, the tone of the entry sounded so much like my usual end-of-posting entry that i actually forgot that i actually have one more month of ortho....... AAArrrggghhhh
