The pleasure is mine, but the Honor goes to God.

Any difficulty that comes to us is nothing, remember that. Are but mere challenges, mere hurdles that Divine Providence gives us to strengthen us, to mold us.

I live by a philosophy of optimism and complete trust in Him. We are weak, alone, but in light of the Grace of God, who works in us and inspires us and enlivens us through the Holy Spirit, we are made capable. Whatsoever the path Divine Providence leads us to.

Inday, always, always remember this verse in scripture that I keep so very close to my own heart:

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
-Philippians 4:13

It went well, Thanks be to God, we were allotted 15 minutes to present our cases, but I ended up going over 22 minutes. hahaha. I wanted to focus on the importance of the genetic defect on the BLM gene, which is a subtype of the DNA Helicase family--which is important for the DNA repair, replication, transcription processes. As a result of this, we see the obvious signs of clinical symptoms: High affinity for oncological onset (carcinoma), short stature, short limbs, low affinity for food, infertility for men, decreased fertility and reproductive span for women, etc.

The unfortunities of this syndrome is that there is no cure, no absolute treatment for the condition itself as it is a genetic one. We can, however, only provide symptomatic treatment.

Thanks for asking, mi companero. I thought I did alright, by God's Grace.

Today I had my first experience of a 'communication gap' lol. I was in the hospital for our mandatory volunteering hours that 1st and 2nd years are required to complete. Last week I did my time in the GI floor, so this week I requested to be in the ER. The attending physician and senior students showed us proper suturing techniques (as if I didn't know already, lol, thanks to Gross Anatomy and Vascular Anatomy lab). But anyways, I had the honor in doing a small suture in mediolateral aspect of the patient's forearm. The cut was rather superficial; merely adipose damage, nothing below that tho. I was expecting to hear that she had median to ulnar nerve damage; but seeing the wound, it wasn't that deep.

She spoke in Spanish. No English at all. Thank the Lord for myself being able to understand and speak Spanish; and to think there are people who actually think Learning Spanish is unnecessary. lol.

Ya. Right.

I want to take these exams now!!
Been reviewing for the upcoming Medical Physiology and Med Gen, Biochem and Surgical Neuroanatomy exams for over 3.5 weeks now. It has come to the point that I am loosing it, lol. I had a review session all this week, and it has become obvious to me and to my friends that we need to take this exam now! It is set for Friday and Monday.

I assure you having 4-5 hours of sleep everday for the past 2 weeks is not good. For the past 4 days I have had no more than 2 hours sleep.

I assure that it is not of my own liking, but due to the demands of the excessive material we are given, it is necessitated that we yield to study. And surrender sleep. I do, however, plan on having a nice sleep on Thursday night. My medical partner in surgicla neuroanatomy, Job, has had little to no sleep. Hahahaha, actually, it is hilarious when we had Neuroantomy class yesterday---there were 30 or so students. The 70 or so students took the day off to study some more. puahahahaha.

That or getting rest.

My Life in Pictures:

The concept of the MHC and immunological defense complex.
If only our professor explained it better. Thus, one is left teaching himself the complex. There is about 20 pages worth of information in the book on it (which prof will test us in), but he only covered no more than 3 minutes of it in class. LOL!!!

My hand angers in the, MHC!

A face of a man who hasn't touched nor had sleep, lol.

LOL! Ask Ate Ethyl

You know I asked my friends why docs write like that. Then i realize that the answer lay in class. When we go to class, we have to write fast as our professors talk fast, and give info like a speeding bullet.

In 2 semesters time, I have already begun to understand 'illegible writing'

Sometimes galing, instead of writing sentences, we write partial sentences that only we can understand. Us acronyms.

Example lang:

The patient who came in the Emergency room was suffering from Refractory shock, had a BP that was below 120/80. Was unconscious, and bleeding; later diagnosis indicates cerebral ischemia, reduced cardiac output despite cardiotonic drugs indicates minimalizaton of heart. Pure Blood plasma has been initiated, but due to free radicals accumulation, stagnation of blood continues due to precapillary spastic activity. Prognisis is bleak. Patient given palliative treatment. Talk to family about onset.

Our professor would say this to us out loud, and we would write this out. So we develop techniques in writing fast. One can write really sloppy (which sometimes i do), that or use partial sentences that no one else beside the doc can understand;

this is how we would re-write this:

Uncon pat-ER: Suffering-REFSHOK. BP<120/80.
uncon pat-bleed; cerebisch. Low CO. Digitalis/Cardiotonic no show.
Transfusion started; positive feedback. Stangation freerad
Palliative-Patient.

Yes, the cranial saw wasn't working today, so we had to use a regular heavy-duty anatomical saw.

We had to retract the anteroposterior muscles of the skull, after de-scalping the specimen.

We utilized an old school 'muscle-by muscle' technique to open the skull. Retrieval of the brain was brilliant, actually, the entire specimen was preserved perfectly by formalin.

We surgically opened the midbrain and hindbrain; observing the mesencephalon, diencephalon, the hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus and associated tracts.

Before we opened the skull tho, we gave gave a moment of silence and respect to the cadaver for honoring us with use of its body.

Without whom, knowledge would be limited.

Glacier, its really nothing. T.A is just a teacher's assistant. 4 of us were asked to T.A next semester for medgross anat if students need help w/ structures, we are asked to come in in lab at least once a week.

I accepted because i really love anatomy class. One way i can try to help out with my limited knowledge on anatomy, and at the same time maintain the limited knowledge and even learn some more. I try to help, and at the same time am helped in the process.

One of the main jobs of a T.A is to help prepare the cadavers, and preservation of the samples for anatomical exposition. This means we are to help the instructur(s) in removing the excess materieal on the outer layers and expose the large muscles in the upper limb, lower limb, thorax/abdomen and the skull. In my batch, Glace, we only had 1 T.A volunteer to help out and our instructor had to be in lab 5 days (as we are divided into groups due to the large class of my batch). So some of us talked about volunteering.

I know when we were studying the brachial plexus last year--we were looking for a T.A to help us in identifying/correcting something--but didn't have the opportunity. Instead we only had 1 lab instructor who had to some 30-40 students per group. Now at least next semester, there will be a T.A for ever 8-10 students.

In Retrospect

Today is 4:14 PM, the 24th of April, the year of our Lord 2009.

Before I say anything or utter anything, let me make it known that the Lord God is truly great, and that all good things, good news, and abounding love comes from His Hands. That all glories, honors, and praises belongs to Him, and to Him Alone.

I just want to let it out! I am relieved!

Today we finished our last final examinations, for Medical Biochemistry and Surgical Neuroanatomy. As of 2PM this afternoon I am finished with 1st year Medicine.

Looking at the time I first arrived and moved to campus in early August, to the beginning of class in August till now, I have never been so stressed or time constrained in my life. College Undergraduate does not even compare to the incredible stress and limited time we have and are put under in medical school, especially 1st year Medicine.

Medical Gross Anatomy, Medical Legal Ethics, Medical Embryology, and Histology in 1st semester.
2nd semester we had Surgical Neuroanatomy (the most hardest, yet the most interesting class ive ever taken, so far), Medical Biochemistry, Genetics and Development, and Physiology of Human Body. Finished.

I have such a strong, strong feeling of relief. I think Ive developed over 50 grey hairs just on this year alone, lol! Perhaps I should buy a hair dye soon, hahaha joke!

I could not have survived this, or accomplished this without the help of the LORD GOD.

He who strengthened me in the hours of the night, when I thought i could learn no more.

Hard work, and sacrifice, though painful, really works. It is definitely worth the effort.

Yes, I will admit that I am VERY nervous and scared for 2nd year. Just because the fact that we'll be taking more clinical-related courses, and it inches us forward to taking the USMLE Step 1, the step 1 of the Medical Boards. Am I expecting anything different? I expect to maintain the average and simple scores I have attained this semester, with the grace of ALMIGHTY GOD be it HIS will, and to continue my average pace.

What I've learned this year is the importance of study groups, medical review sessions, and the importance of sleep. Never again will I try to not sleep for 4 straight days. As its destructive. Even if 3-4 hours ra ang sleep, better 3-4 hours than nothing at all.

To God be the GLORY!

Today was such a long day, def. Didn't come back home till 10pm my time. Been awak since 8am nonstop. Thank goodness its a Friday. Today was pretty awesome, we got to see --well i personally got to see drug interaction.

The attending gave me a patient situation--we had one patient whoshowing signs and symptoms of Tuberculosis at the same time he was also taking Melformin as treatment for diabetic mellitus. The attending physician asked us, what should we do-??

He asked me and my partner what mode of action should we do?

Well it was very obvious. Looking at his charts, clearly he had TB, so we opted to advice he be treated with rifampin as treatment for possible Tuberculosis. What dose? What effect? He asked us.

We were aloof for a good 5 minutes--until I remembered that Rifampin is also an inducer of cytocrhome P450 isoenzyme; so if we give him rifampin, his cytochrome p450 enzymes will increase, and hence metabolize any melformin drug he's taking to treat his already diabetic condition.

What should we adjust?

Obvious na.

Patient suffering from diabetese mellitus, taking melformin as treatment; now pt is showing signs of tuberculosis, must be treated with rifampin, but dose of melformin has to be increased or doubled due to metabolism of melformin via increase of c-p450 isoenzymes.

Correct. Pharmacology for the day. I was happy, naka answer mi adto.

To see the attending writing our prescription recomendation and dosage was rewarding for us.

Its amazing how much scientists/medical researchers go just to preserve their name / immortalize their contributions to science. Even if it means just impressing their names to a medical condition.

For example, there is a condition that involves the bacterium. Neisseria Gonoccus. An infection of the liver--leads to inflammation of the liver capsule, this condition leads to the formation of abnormal tissue connecting the outer band of the liver to the abdominal tissue.

Physicians refer to this condition as : Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome.

or FHCS. Such a long term when in all reality we could just call it PH (perihepatitis). Because, in all reality, that is what it is.

What's in a name?

Thats what life is all about, friend.

Its all about struggles. And overcoming those struggles, By Grace of God.

There is nothing we cannot do that God has not provided us with the means to overcome those struggles/obstacles.

When the Roman centurion asked Jesus to come and heal his servant, Jesus told him, "Your faith has healed you!" The meaning in this--put inasmuch faith in your own abilities as well as have faith in God's abounding GRACE--that wills you to overcome whatever obstacle it is that separates you from the Love of GOD.

Nothing in this life is without struggles. Christ, OUR LORD, HIMSELF, suffered and died on the cross for us.

Its up to the individual to find beauty and grace in his or her struggles. In Jesus, it is called Sanctifying Grace.
