Pharmacology is done. I could have done better, but the effort would have hindered my studying for my other exams. It really sucks that everything we are learning now has direct applications to patient care, but that we hardly have time to absorb it before moving onto something else. I am studying pathology slides right now (on my computer), while occassionaly peeking on ESPN to see the score of the Angels/White Sox game. It is going to be a long night.
Today I had class in the morning, followed by a quick work out and studying. My highlight of the day was going to the band to cash some check! Whooooo! Tomorrow I have my pathology exam in the morning, followed by the VA clinic in the afternoon. It will be a rough afternoon at the VA, as I read the assigned reading three weeks ago, and my mind is on anything BUT the nose and throat. The good news is that Hans and I get the standardized patient instead of a real one. It is hard to fake a clinic visit with the complex VA patients (they never have only one thing wrong with them....they are very ill men). Hopefully Dr. Bal will take it easy on us. WISH ME LUCK!
