well....nothing much really been going on i guess...mostly normal stuff like classes n all....
oh last saturday was the volleyball competition...or at least it was suppose to be on saturday.. we were suppose to play batch 19....buuuuut....the batch 16 agaisnt 15 game started late due to inconsiderate ppl who dont know what punctuality means...aiii...anyway to cut short the story...due to this by the time they finished it was aldy too late to start our game cus it would get dark b4 we finish (stupid indian courts got no lights one)...so our game got postponed to sun morning....which meant if we won we would have to play agn in the evening for the finals...we won the morning game...but we soooo got our asses whooped in the finals...anyway second plc is not bad...and we are still going to be defending champs next yr anyway =)
N me being my usual unlucky self i actually strained my left *what i believe to be* trapezius muscle...in laymen terms i was having a shitload of pain in the region of my left shoulder blade....played both the games with it...which made it even worse of course....im just stubborn n hard headed n dont know when to stop....if my mum heard this i wouldnt hear the end of it....
anyway rest of the week was pretty normal...didnt play much sports so my shoulder blade would heal....finally opened the box of cookies my mum sent....yummy!
now what else....oh ya....forensic lect lately has been riddled with weird stuff that made me laugh...
for eg..
1) we are learning about the study of death...and the topic was on brain stem dead or brain dead....and the lect was explaining about how to go about examining some1 before u can certify a person as brain dead....so we are suppose to test a few reflexs...2 of which were light reflex and corneal reflex....he then proceeds to tell us the procedure to elicit the reflex...
light reflex = ask the patient to hold his hand in the form of a partition in front of his nose... then shine a light into the eye to be tested and observe for constriction of the pupils...then do the same on the other eye
corneal reflex = ask the patient to look into the distance...then gently touch the cornea with a wisp of cotton and observe for blinking....then do the same on the other eye...
ok! now anyone who realizes the huge ass mistake in those to procedures kindly raise ur hand and let me know....dont know?? well let me tell u...firstly if u are doing this to determine if a patient is brain dead or not....then obviously he has to be in a comatose state first doesnt he....and how in the world are u going to get a comatose patient to put his hand as a partition or look into the distance!!!!!!!
2) the topic was post mortem (after death) changes.....
the first category was immediate changes (happens within 30 mins) which included
a. no eeg waves
b. cessation of respiration
c. cessation of circulation
now the (a) i found logical....but (b) n (c) ??? shouldnt that be something that happens at death..not after death...if he has respiration n circulation then his not dead is he??
hai funny funny.....donno if he said it wrongly..or its really like that....gtg to lib and read up on it i suppose...
today evening went to play sepak takraw at nehru...was playing when the ball went near a drain near one of the rooms...when i bent down to pick up the ball...all of a sudden a cat jumped out at me from a tiny hole above the rooms window n then ran away....we were wondering what the cat was doing in there....peeped into the hole...and low and behold... kittens!!!!!!
took a couple of pics...the weird thing was...before that we were just talking bout how we dont see many cats around in manipal (which is a good thing...im soooo not a cat person)
