the cme at hotel grand maurya, i got the chance. Aquib, harshith (if
i've used arshid to refer to him before, please note the change) and
me caught an auto with a meter that stopped working at 42 rupees and
we gave 80 rupees, whereas we paid only 70 for the return trip.
The conference, the first medical conference for me, was exciting.
It began with management of skin infections...including cellulitis
(the thing i had in my leg due to that insect bite)
then about infertility, how timing of intercourse is one simple step
(how luteal phase is always 14 days and how 26th day is the day of
ovulation if the menstrual cycle is 40 days long)
and then the 4th man in india to have a degree in spinal surgery
talked about the wonderfully quick back pain relieving spinal
surgeries he had done at apollo hospital, including the story of the
man who was so comfortable after the surgery that he refused to come
back for follow ups
then the endoscopic expert talked about endoscopy in emergencies, and
showed videos of removing the 5 tooth brushes that he removed from a
13 year old and pulling out the ascaris that was going inside the bile
duct of an emergency patient by its tail leaving everyone but the
ascaris smiling
then there was class about hepatocellular carcinoma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disorder (which's not asthma and has got
remedies), etc.
The lunch, in between was simple rice. But there was ice cream and
rasagula (the delegates had to pay 300 rupees..it was free for us
students)
then mmc&ri's psychiatry hod talked about psychosomatic disorders (the
talk we'd been waiting for)..unfortunately all the jokes were told in
kannada..i understood swalpa swalpa only..but still the talk didn't
include case studies, it was all about quotes that said how body and
mind are related, and so was rather disappointing.
How ct scan works, the question i had last week or so, was answered
right next. 360 degree x-ray illumination
last talk was about rabies vaccine. A very interesting one from the
doctor at mandya institute of medical science.
Before lunch there was an inauguration, which included our dean.
Everyone in the stage was given Mysore special blanket, elephant
statue, and one big necklace (have to find out its name)
at hostel, razik had come back. Luckily i had given one key to zigu.
back home people who've gone pc thomas have reached back for onam
holidays. Nousha said she'll be till 11th. Varsha said she was loving
the place but not feeling like learning. Reshma, the first to message,
stopped at the "loving the place" part. No, she said she's loving
learning too.
Had the meeting tea in the night too.
karthik sir said that the application for hostel certificate (address
proof) will have to be given to the manager who'd come on monday
afternoon, and so the letter that we gave to shiv shankar sir y'day
would be useless
and then there was the football match. After the pg sirs (including
anatomy professor) played some senior team, we played another senior
team and lost 2-3.
Had a late night chat with manjunath sir at the injured sindhukumar's
room along with aquib. He said us to be silent (not smart), to expect
zero opportunities in non-academic matters, and that
Mysoremedicalcollege.com is run by the student community itself.
