Ugh...

The exam for 3.1 (Ortho) left me more dead than alive. I probably bombed that, and since the exam (which took place about 2wks ago) I haven't really done anything except for mourning the loss of my zero-retake streak.

Surgeons are..

Seem familiar?
As far as I know, surgeons are a pretty odd bunch sometimes, but they're not necessarily mean.

This is me, every time some blooming idiot thinks that people get the flu from the seasonal flu vaccine. 

The European/Dutch flu vaccines contain pieces of dead virus. 
Pieces of dead virus.
So no, it's not capable of giving you the real flu.
Yes, it is capable of making you feel a little under the weather for 1-2 days (that's because your immune system still responds to pieces of dead virus). But it's not a full-blown flu.

It's funny how the people with the most vague symptoms of thyroid disorders are often the ones to bitch the most about vaccinations and other stuff.
I sometimes wonder why the human race has not gone extinct yet.

:/

Well. I seriously considered going into A&E (or the Dutch equivalent of it, at least) for some time.

With my recent diagnosis of Graves' disease, and this vid showing the sheer amount of pressure and frustration that physicians have to deal with in emergency care, I'm starting to question my ambitions.

Stress means heart palpitations for me now that I have Graves' disease.

I don't like heart palpitations. 

And I don't know if my Graves' will relapse once I'm done with my pills.

I'm going to have to think about my decision to pursue a career in A&E or Trauma/Anesthesiology.

It's Pink! Again!

Every October, this blog turns pink.
Why? 'Cause Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Don't like, don't visit.

Hate hate hate double hate

Wonderful movie, by the way.

I HATE MY THYROID!
I HATE THIS FUCKING DISEASE!
Why is it giving me hair loss and making me feel like I could go berserk in a split second?! I feel psychotic without the psychotic break!
Hell, call me shallow, but I absolutely do not like it when my hair is getting so thin that I might pass as an unhealthy hobo.

Stupid thyroid, stupid pills. Don't give me extremely unpleasant-and-ridiculous symptoms which aren't dangerous enough for me to stop.
Either don't give me those stupid symptoms and shut up, or give me some dangerous side-effect so that I can switch therapies. Or die.

I WILL MURDER YOU!

Yes. Even medical students and doctors will sometimes reach that point where they're done with being nice and transition to wanting to kill someone. I reached that point the day before yesterday, and today, again.
It doesn't help that I'm having my period and am still slightly hyperthyroid.
