from the stethoscope to the hammer

right after our 4 week Internal Medicine cycle, we started with neurology cycle. i anticipated a hard time since i know that my teacher would be the much feared Vera Naumova Georgievna, the professor of neurology. among all the groups, she just has to take our group!

so of course, with almost nothing in our brains, she sure did screwed us up nicely. i mean, i don't blame her for scolding us because there were many basic things we do not know, but also we can't take the entire blame. first of all, last semester our neurology cycle was only 8 day. sometimes i just wonder why we have the donkey cycles like hygiene for more than 2 weeks but important cycles like neurology and operative surgery are so short.

anyway Monday, Tuesday, Wed and Thursday we were scolded like some brainless people. forgetting the tracks, the anatomy wudever. but at least today she said she was quite satisfied with us, but still remarked that students from the US are better than students here and she could not understand that. im sure in the US they don't have hygiene, history of medicine and all this bodoh classes la, dat's why.

on the other hand, i do admire her. she did not just scold and scold, she will teach after that. much better than many other teachers. and she is probably the only Russian teacher i know who wear different clothes everyday with matching earrings, necklace and ring. she even have 3 pairs of second shoes! oh, and being quite old, either late 50 early 60s, she is still keen in learning english, always flipping the oxford dictionary although her english is already pretty good. i really admire people who continually learn even when they reaches their retirement age.

can't wait to go to Volgograd for the Malaysian games. i am not participating in anything, unless there is a million dollar award, taha. just wanted to see my Volgo frens tht i've not met since the Intec days, except Jia Wei who came to Kuching last holidays. even bought a pair of new shades for that, despite being very broke. taha.
