today was like the day for foul moods.
i didn't get much sleep the night before- 4 hours or so;
and when i don't get enough sleep. i turn into the grumpiest most irritable creature ever.
and i was reading notes on sleep apnoea, a condition that involves interuppted sleep due to periods of not breathing. and the more i read, the more irritated i got. really! :S i'm telling you sleep is so precious. i love my bed <3 (ok out of point).
anyway my mood has improved tremendously after a short nap and a nice warm shower. and also a nice meal of linguine, pancakes, gelati and chocolate mudcake (thanks robin+cellgroup!)
i think the only way to placate me if i'm irritated is by way of sweet desserts. works almost all of the time. haha!

anyway i want to tell you guys about my OSCE.
OSCE is like a clinical skills practical, for those unfamiliar with the term.
it was hilarious i tell you. i screwed up so badly the examiner and i laughed at my mistakes.

so i had to do a cardiovascular exam on a patient. and i did everything in great detail, like look at the fingers, face, neck, read his pulse, felt his chest for heaves and thrills yaddayadda. basically i did everything- except listen to his heartbeats with the stethoscope- which is like the GIVEN for cardio exams. HAHA.

ok here goes #2. i did a urine dipstick test without putting on gloves.
the patient laughed. :/ last year i did CPR without gloves. every year i forget to put on gloves- not because i'm unhygenic!- but because i'm nervous and excited.. okay.

and CPR was like the usual pump pump pump, breathe into dummy. but yeah as usual, i was panting. i hope i never have to adminster CPR in real life. i think i would die of exhaustion first. haha!

i make such a bad/questionable doctor-to-be. :(

ok i need to go mug now, exam in like 4 days (egaaaad :/).
tooodles!
