Our graduating students get inducted next week!yaaaayy! To we med students,this means only one thing;FOOD!and free gifts/freebies.its a yearly ritual which you dare not miss.I experienced my first in 2009,was still in my preclinicals then.it was beautiful!the procession,the hippocratic oath(I swear to blah blah blah,one day I would post it on this blog,very funny oath),the proud parents and family members,the tears,the drummers,annd the FOOD!it was really beautiful

It usually starts with the induction proper,inductees are only allowed in with two people.we jst chill outside with our big bags waiting for the spoil.outside on the lawn are canopies spread out with names of each doctors tagged on it.then they come out with smiles,tv reporters everywhere,everybody hailing them,paparazi here and drum,talking drummers praising them anyhow they could to get money, and then FOOD!I mean food which you can pile up in your fridge and keep microwaving for days

Yes,the food is always crazy mehn,everywhere food,drinks,pastries and then so many souvenirs they make for us medical students as memoirs for us to remember them by.

We stage this 'wardround' where we file from tent to tent,and the 'consultant' tells some funny jokes,wishes them the best and then they give us our 'right'.it actually funnier than this,seriously.they all did it too at every induction through their stay in school,we all just catch the fun together.

We stuff our bags with every goodie we could lay our hands on(most times the bags are never big enough),dance with them,gist and play well.then we remember we have a real wardround the next day or a coming EOP annd so many stuffs unread.

Its not just about the food really(actually its about the food mostly,lol),seeing these guys in their induction gowns,relieved and happy, is a huge source of motivation.these are the same ones we stood for hours at rounds together,the same guys consultants would say 'you must have sawdust in your brains for that stupid answer' to,the same ones they called 'medical students',they are now doctors!

I get tired annd angry a lot, med school is one crazy road,but I know there is a God who saw these ones through.He would see me through too.

Wishing class of '13 a successful and outstanding practice.would miss you guys!

2:49am So I learnt a procedure this week; Tonsillectomy à chaud.ok,crash course time: Tonsils, mass of lymphoid tissues(like bodyguards) In the upper part of the throat jst behind the mouth Chaud, a french word for hot(duh,french word,no d) 'lectomy,means excision,removal So,Tonsillectomy à chaud simply means removal of the tonsils while its still 'hot',hot as in highly innflammed Ok!blah blah,enough already!all am tryna say is,inflammed tonsils are not removed,but they are allowed to resolve first.but in some cases,the otorhinolaryngologist(ENT people) has to remove to it so as to save the life of the patient.probably its so large its blocking the airway or some other indications,as in they can't wait at all for ordinary tonsilectomy Do u feel that way atimes?like just too 'hot',u just can't take it anymore?I feel like that most times.like I need an urgent 'me'lectomy à vacatione(ofcourse remove the e) Like seriously if I don't take a break soon ehn...well nothing would happen. Back to my books(or sleep)

1:56am Ok,I am tired,very very tired.and this posting isn't helping at all.8am to 5pm for the past 3wks and an EOP nxt wk?huh?atimes am jst like why meeee??!!!but then you all would say shebi na me fill jamb form.yea na me fill am but I seriously had no idea!no one did!no clues.no one even hinted me I would spend my call hours counting contractions while the lady in labor pleads with me to please help me rub her down(annd am still half asleep o).I had no idea I would stand on my feet for 8hrs,in a wardround,while I still have to answer questions intelligibly.I didn't even know I would have to read like a zombie just to hit PASS.but am here shey?they said it would get better when we start getting paid.why don't you just pay me now na?! Argghhhhh!
