Dissecting Room's Ceremony of THANKSGIVING

This afternoon, while some ppl were still having their lunch or attending their lectures, a group of ppl, which include the anatomy panel's staffs and the dental and medical students, were all present in the Dissecting Room of School of Biosciences, Cardiff University. The reason why all of us were there was not because of we had a dissecting session, but was to express our gratitude towards those who have donated their bodies for us to study and examine during anatomy practical sessions.

One of the keys to success in anatomy is to examine the real structures of the organs and how r they put together to form a body. Without their generosities in donating their bodies, we will not b able to hav a good grasp in anatomy. In order to make accurate diagnoses, doctors need to first know the human anatomy well. Therefore, i am really thankful for the opportunity tat i receive here to dissect the cadavers, as not many of the unis in uk offer such an opportunity.

May all the donors' soul will rest in peace...

Basic Life Support Session - CPR





Today i had no class... but i had to go to The Heath Hospital to attend the basic life support session. To b more exact, it was actually a brief CPR course. This session was attended by about 20 1st yr medical students and it was conducted by 2 demonstrators who are qualified doctors.

Well.. I m quite familiar wif CPR bcoz i actually took 2 CPR exams whn i was a st john member in secondary sch. The procedures are basically the same but there are sum minor variations. For instance, in malaysia, we usually check the breathing n pulse for 5 secs while the British do this for 10 secs(which i reckon it is a bit 2 long..but i think it is still acceptable lar..).

Hm...Quite a niz chance of refreshing my CPR knowledge but i din really feel excited coz i had done this (on the manikin..not real patients) for many times in sec sch. However, i really njoyed doing this during the trainings n competitions. I like to b in the team~~~

Team GC 02, I miss u! :)
