Day 1

Preeti Shenoy recently wrote a post about this 7 days of positivity experiment. And it got me thinking! There are times when it gets difficult for you to focus on the 'positives' in your life. Then you think nothing is falling or ever will fall in place.

I decided to try this. This shouldn't be too hard! And hope it survives for the week ahead!

So my 'fives' for today :

1. I resumed my workout. Darn those exams - which I used as an excuse (to myself) for everything - even for not working out! Well, it gave me such good energy for the rest of the day. 
Feeling lethargic lately,eh? Rx -  60 minutes of cardio exercises daily to make you feel stronger, energetic and happier and of course to decrease the risk of those cardiovascular diseases! :)

 2. I now own Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary on my Blackberry! :)))))))))) Now I can now successfully look up for Abbe Estlander operation or Guillain Barre or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Freund's adjuvant! And it did caress the geek and the techno-freak in me! (that rhymes! :P)



3. I now know a lot more about the pathology, the therapy, the diagnosis, the clinical features of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia - mind you that's a major health problem in individuals above 50 years of age!
Read it all up from the 'Robbins Pathological Basis of Disease', one of the greatest medical texts I've come across so far.

4. I spent hours reading so many blogs today - something I totally love! This was after such a long time!
5. I finally got two smileys to pin up to my bag! :D

What I fear....

Sometimes I get this thought..that it is the fear to under-perform that bothers me and limits me at times, by which i do not mean fear to under-perform in others' eyes (That really doesn't bother me so much) ..but my own.. I fear that I may just fail to effectuate a task with 'that' level of perfection...Perfection is a very relative term I feel.. varies from person to person..Perfection is basically achieving the standards you've set for yourself..which obviously can never be same for two individuals.. And I've been fighting this fear like hell...Complicated!!??!! I've been trying not to think of results prior to doing something.. Well, I believe in doing whatever I do with perfection..not that I achieve it always..but I can say I do aim at it..whether I get it or not (though I believe forces in universe ensure that you get that something you really 'want') and I easily get annoyed when I come across people who actually start off a task with ...

The Clinical side!

Running about in the reeky wards is finally doing some good! It was all so thrilling when I, as a medico, for the first time percussed an oversized chronically diseased liver, palpated a visible apex beat, auscultated a stenotic valve and observed those toes fanning out just on tracing a curvy stroke. Boy! Did I just I ellicit a Babinski! ( :D :D :D :D And my heart was pounding with joy! ). All this in a week! Saw my first Bell's, the rare cerebellopontine angle tumor and a few days back, the facies of a six - year 'mucopolysaccharidotic' kid.Everything still vivid in my head! Just wish I get to see an asterixis now! Experience here with me the joy of discovering an AS murmur over heart of an eighty-year old! :P Beating like it would just come out! Made my day! And now, having written this, I wonder, if I really am that painfully enthusiastic medical student ! Well, even if I am, I like it this way! ;)
