Who says dent school is easier than med? 10 Final Exams!!

5242 Views · November 29 · Filed under dentistry

OMG, this semester is yet the worst term in dental school. I thought this past summer semester was pretty bad enough where we had 6 written final exams plus quizzes from time to time. I guess the worst is yet to come. This semester, we have eight written final exams, only one of which is MCQ (multiple choice exam). :o The other 7 are written exams. Plus 1 competency exam and 1 lab exam. OMG, 10 exams in total. :o When I had my medical courses with med students during my first 2 years of dentistry, the exams were all multiple-choiced exams and ONLY ONE exam at a time. Compared to dentistry, medicine is easy as a piece of cake.

If any of my patients cancel their appointments, I’ll grant their wishes without hesitation!!! Simply not enough time to study… :(

mattress testing
Have you ever done any shopping for mattress? Most of us like to try out the bed and see how comfortable it is during mattress shopping, even though we don’t really want to buy the mattress. :) It’s very tempting, especially if the mattress is a unique, special type in comparison to the rest in the furniture store. But…maybe after watching the following video, you may want to re-consider about testing the bed. :d

Kiss of Death! A “Real-Life” kiss of death.

Peanut allergy the kiss of death for teenage girl
Saturday, November 26, 2005
MONTREAL — A Chicoutimi, Que., high school is in mourning after a 15-year-old girl with a food allergy died suddenly after kissing her boyfriend who had eaten peanut butter.

“Kiss of Death,” an old dental saying from our endodontics instructor, Dr. Donald Yu, when the root canal is blocked and thus failed during root canal treatment. But…this time, it’s not about the root canal in dentistry. It’s about the blockade of the respiratory tract due to anaphylatic shock. Even worse, it’s from a real kiss—a very sad story.

Match Magic with Coin from Japanese Magician Cyril Takayama

13023 Views · November 27 · Filed under magic tricks

Match Magic
Just like previously, Cyril Takayama performs magics with the audience standing immediately beside him in all directions (front, back, right and left). Still nobody can detect how he does the tricks. It’s so mysterious and yet it’s that mystery that attracts the audience back and back again, especially the one who actually holds the magic prop. I wish I can experience the magic with Cyril Takayama by actually touching and scrutinizing the equipment he uses. Maybe I’ll discover how he does the trick. Heheee…. :d BTW, anyone knows his tricks. If you do, drop me a note. :)
