Physical Diagnosis!

Today was the last session for physical diagnosis part of the MPS II course (Medicine, Patients and Society). We have been going to the hospital for three hours on Monday morning to practice taking medical history and physical examination. Now we will be tested next week on our medical history and physical examination skills.

These sessions are for our future. In three months, we will be practicing the skills we learned everyday in the past two years in the three hour sessions once a week to diagnose and manage a patient on our own (of course with physicians monitoring us!)

Whats going on these days?

1. Currently we are studying Heme/Onc. I have to say it is very interesting and something we deal with everyday, such as anemia!

2. Match results: Amazing! Congrats class 2009, wish you all the best and you will be missed! http://qatar-weill.cornell.edu/media/reports/2009/matchDay09.html

3. Coffee House is Thursday! I've been hearing there are some awesome performances this year. Also, the musical "Wicked" by Education City students including a Cornell student in Class of 2011! Amazing show! Worthwhile to see, its playing all week in QF theater!

4. Cricket! We came first for the third time in Education City Cricket league! Great job boys!!
