two months and counting

Just 2 short months back in India after that short but oh so sweet vacation in Malaysia and already it feels like it has been ages!

Somehow here they really know how to push you to your limits, everyday mentally, physically, yet med school in India though no doubt TOUGH but what you learn, invaluable.

In 2 months-

dissected the heart and its interior

held the lungs with our hands and learnt what there is to know about it

opened up the abdomen

removed the testes from the scrotum

performed urine tests

learnt the basics of general examinations for patients

how to take radial pulse, blood pressure

-and I’m getting my first stethoscope tomorrow!
