I have my first of four exams tomorrow morning.
It's a three hour exam on the cardiovascular and respiratory system. You'd think - that'd be like:
Heart pumps blood to keep us alive, heart stops pumping blood, we die = bad.
Lungs breath in air, air keeps us alive, so if lungs stop working, we die = bad.
I wish it was really that simple.
There's embryology, physiology, histology, pathology and pathophysiology.
There's an ABCD (and sometimes E) mnemonic which applies to post MI management, hypertension management. I'm pretty sure it could also apply to congestive heart failure, angina treatment and Aboriginal Health Care.
EEEE no longer reminds me of someone going down a really scary water ride, but instead reminds me of the way of dealing with confrontational parents.
And finally, parents that don't vaccinate their kids are stupid.
Herd immunity doesn't work if all the parents think the other parents will immunise their kids.
You can't expect other parents to vaccinate their kids, and take those risks, just so you don't have to with your kids.
I need to sleep now. This time in 3 days, I should be very drunk at one of the many pubs, bars, clubs in the gold coast and thinking merry thoughts about shopping trips later this week and the ideal place to vomit.

all the best, little moo.
thinking of you... xx
... strange that it is now wednesday and 2:10AM aaannnd... you're not at a pub somewhere looking for a good place to vomit :P early piker - no fun :(
we (agrabal too) could have stayed, gotten more tipsy and shared details about which of the med boys we would be most likely to do
but nooo someone didn't allow time for a nanna nap between shopping and drinking :P
repeat of this night is a must. lemme know when you're home home and we'll do more partaying
p.s. my main pnuemonics ruining everything for me: KRAFT; SOCRATES; my syster had ASMR she died in my ARMS; don't anger Barry's dog again; can white girl shh?!. Although no so dramatic, also annoying. There were others. Besides, my brain is now forced into remembering things through a number of ways... like oh the mennhennit ruling, yea yea, 449 because NN and 44 are doubles :P
... I've said enough. bed now. NIGHT!!!
you've finished, hurrah! hurrah! mwa!
