My life in Semester 2

Basically, I am not as free as last year when I was in Semester 1. I came back for my Semester 2 on the 1st of February and ever since then, I never have the time to blog. For this semester, I am taking Microbiology (Oh, I "love" microbiology), Pathology, Immunology, Pharmacology, Parasitology and Community Medicine. We just finished our Microbiology and guess what? After studying about bacteria, virus and fungus from the lecture notes and under the microscope, I am having a Streptococcus infection on my face right now. It started off with really red lines on my face and I thought it was an allergy. It became worse after one week and I had to go and see a doctor at Sri Petaling. The doctor told me it was a Streptococcus infection. Right now, it is healing after I took the antibiotic and applied the antibacterial cream but I am still having the Streptococcus infection on my face.


I can just imagine these chains of coccus on my face even though I cannot see them

I have to go to the Clinical Skills Unit once in 2 weeks too. So far, they taught us how to take a proper history from a patient, how to do hand washing, gloving and gowning with the correct technique, how to give intramuscular injection and how to dispose the syringes properly.







I have to sit for my CPR theory exam next Monday. It is free for the first time but if we fail, we have to pay to resit. We have to pass the theory exam before we can go for out practical exam.

My AIR topic assignment will be due at the end of March. We have to do a research on targeting antigens on tissues using Immunohistochemistry. Yeah, in short, this is an update about my life in semester 2 at the moment.

The good news will be... I will be going back to Kuching for the weekend from next Friday till the following Monday with Nicole and Hazel. :D
