Out of Gynae, into Acupuncture.

Summary of the operations I managed to watch in Gynae:
2 LAVHs (腹腔镜下子宫全切术)
1 子宫肌瘤剔除术
2 LEEPs (宫颈环切术)
1 ectopic pregnancy - removal of foetus from fallopian tube (输卵管开窗)
1 开腹探查+松解粘连+附件切除
1 畸胎瘤 - but I didn't get to see the hair in the cyst because I had to leave early
2 宫腔镜 (1息肉剔除 and 1探查+刮宫)
and countless abortions.
Not bad for a 2-week stint in the wards huh?


Ok today started on a bad note because my mudguard was crooked again (probably because the wind blew and my bike fell on its side again) and it was jutting into my front tyre so they were scraping and screeching all the way to school. The fact that I was burning rubber and wearing out my tyre worried me more than the stupid sound which probably made everyone at the bus-stop stare at me when I cycled past. I was in a bad mood because of my flu, and the day got worse because of the stupid teachers in the 治疗室who seem to hate us and were unfriendly and curt because of the unmanageable influx of impatient patients (how ironic the 2 words are when put together) on a Monday morning, and the acrid smells of smoke, 艾灸 and 药罐 put together. It was so unbearable I had to wear my mask and I was cursing my fate for being stuck in this room for 2 weeks, and a runny nose only made things worse. I'm going to smell like the horrendous fumes in that room for 2 weeks. OYG. I stink even as I type this and I can't wait to cook my dinner and take my bathe. Only to stink again tmr morning. -.- And the dates I'm at 治疗室 coincide with 三九贴 which is some seasonal gimmick where u paste preconcocted tcm paste on different acupoints depending on your problem, which means I might have to come back on Christmas eve, day and post xmas day just to help patients stick that crap. I hope they don't want our help hahahaha.



The stupid bike uncle outside school, or rather his wife, charged me 1 buck just to knock my mudguard back into place with his screwdriver. Lame shit. I was so thankful when I thought he was doing it for free but as I was about to wheel away she asked me for a dollar. -.- If I weren't afraid of wearing down my rubber even more I'd have gone to my usual bike uncle who always does simple chores for free.
