Final Semester Thoughts

In approximately 3 months and 1 week, I'll be done with this long journey that began all the way back... I may have taken some extra time here and there with all the schooling, but here it is finally, I'll soon be a student no more. I'm having mixed thoughts, but overall really looking forward to be done. (There's still the NAPLEX and MPJEs, I know...) So many things have happened along the way, simply lumping these past few years together as "pharmacy school" really can't capture what it has been like. Looking back, I've been the happiest unhappy person, if that makes any sense. I think what I've gotten out of my experience here are far more than what I have originally bargained for, when I first decided to further my graduate studies in Midwestern US. I can still remember how adamant I was about coming to Minnesota - great school in a new environment, with new people, new challenges, new everything basically - funny how life turns out. Wh...

The Fascinating World of a Neurosurgeon

INDICATIONS: This is a patient with severe degenerative lumbar spine disease. My plan is for anterior retroperitoneal exposure of the L3-4 and L4-L5 disk spaces. The patient has had a previous abdominal surgery from gastric bypass and complications related to that. She also appears to have had an abdominoplasty. She does have a significant lower abdominal pannus. I have discussed the procedure including potential risks and benefits in detail with the patient. PROCEDURE: The patient was placed on the operating table in supine position. A general endotracheal anesthetic was administered. The patient received 2 grams of Ancef for antibiotic. Sequential compression devices were placed on the calves for DVT prophylaxis. A Foley catheter was placed. The abdominal wall was scrubbed with chlorhexidine wipes. The abdominal wall was then prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. The skin was covered in its entirety with Ioban sheeting. Prior to prepping, I had marked the location of t...

First root canal - checked! Mom was laughing at me for having had to go through that procedure at such at an early age...oh well, blame dad for giving me too much candies when I was a kid!

自己出来闯世界太久了，真的不能不赞同 ”在家靠父母，在外靠朋友“ 这金句。朋友们需要帮忙，我能够帮上忙就一定会帮，因为我自己也收过不少别人的恩惠，非常了解一个人在外没有亲人照顾有多么地无助，多么地难受。。。 但现在这车出问题，真的没有人可以帮，全部要靠自己，连睡觉都没有时间了还要逼自己去研究车的零件哪个要换，哪里买比较便宜，给谁修比较老实等等。。。只为了省钱来交学费。 此时真的觉得自己一个远离家人和真心朋友真的真的很难过，很难过。撑了那么久这还真是第一次觉得自己就快垮了，若不是有来自远方的支持作为精神上的支柱，我早就崩溃了。。。 只是感恩，我虽一个人，但从不觉得孤单。因为我深知主耶稣一直都陪伴在我左右，在带领我继续往前走。啊，快让我毕业吧，我要回家！！！

太会做人 太会为他人着想 是在作贱自己吗？有时候真的很累很累很累。。。 虽然自己是心甘情愿地付出，难道你们父母从没教你们出到来社会要会主动吗？没教你们出来这社会做人的基本礼貌吗？没教你们做事要有首尾吗？ 他们是不是教你们视若无睹，袖手旁观就不会“惹祸上身”呢？是不是教你们自己痛快地在一边享乐，其他人为大伙儿干得死去活来才是聪明人的“自卫法宝”呢？又或者他们是不是跟你们说你们的身份太高贵了，不适合干“这一些粗活“？！ 大家出来这社会，就让大家都好过一点吧。学会主动做事情，对自己可是利益无穷啊！
