DAY 449/450/451

Nov 23, 24 & 25

1) Just two weeks more to our end-of-semester exams. It's hard to believe that our semester is coming to an end, and Christmas is soon to come. On a side note, I attended the "Voices Without Borders" event, hosted by RCSI Friends of MSF. Prof. Ronan Conroy, Dr. Aidan Magee, and Prof. Samuel McConkey were our guest speakers for the night, and they each took turns to speak about their experience working in remote parts of the world. It was really exciting listening to Dr Magee's recent mission to Nigeria with the MSF (Doctors Without Borders) Noma Project. Noma is a devastating gangrenous infection of the mouth and face.

2) After the event, we found out there had been a misunderstanding on the catering of food and wine. Apparently the caterers had brought the food to the wrong venue, as there was another event going on at the same time! So off we went to the Atrium, and those who attended the other event (organised by the Christian Union) came out to join us soon afterward. Apparently, we had ordered a wine and cheese reception, while they had gotten (mostly) oriental food. It didn't matter though, as we all graciously shared and feasted at the Atrium.

3) Yesterday was our last official anatomy. Granted, we may still return many times after this for practice, but it will not be the same as having actual lessons. We had Mr Fitzgerald as our surgeon prosector, who admitted that he "is grilling us hard now, but come exam time, he would look on the brighter side..." Certainly helps take some of the pressure away XD. Today was the last day of our lectures. For me, it was also the last OSCE Tutorial for the semester. My group finished off with the Cranial Nerves Examination Tutorial. With all that out of the way, it's time to focus on my upcoming exams, and hopefully get some proper revision done. That's all for this blog update, and thanks very much for visiting. Have a lovely weekend, cheers!
