I was asked to teach a class at university today, since the professor was away for a few days. It’s a skeletal anatomy class that I took two years ago and loved. Combining biology and anthropology, the course not only covers in detail the entire human skeleton, with all its tuberosities and foramens, but it additionally looks at what aspects of our life histories can be seen on our bones. Studying the human skeleton can help you determine the age of the person, their sex, stature, ancestry (in some cases), disease pathology, and occupational stress markers. Post-mortem changes to the skeleton are learned through studying taphonomy, such as weathering, erosion, or root etching. I love learning about the human body, and this class was one of my favorites during my undergrad years, for it provided the detailed study of anatomy but in a way that related the work back to the person who’s skeleton we were studying.
I gave a work shop a couple of weeks ago in this class about study tips for the cranial and facial bones, as well as the teeth. I enjoy sharing the tips that helped me memorize all the parts.
Some tips for those of you studying anatomy.
Think of women and PMS headaches. Put your hands on your temples, as if to rub your aching head. It’s PMS Time.
And those little ear bones – they are so small you might MIS them – spelling doesn’t count for these tricks
Today’s class was going to be the bones of the arm and hand. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating and classes were scheduled to be cancelled at 4pm, and only a handful of students showed up. We worked on their project instead. I may be teaching the class this Friday instead, which I’m really looking forward to.
100% on my chemistry final! That is what hours and hours of work, and determination looks like. Not having the prereqs for this course may have hindered me partway through the course, but just look at this comeback. Doesn’t get any better than that. Time to switch gears now. School is done for the term, and I have a business to run, holiday shopping to do, and four kids who have just started their holidays.
Working in dialysis is both exciting and intimidating at the same time. I have loved working in the hospital this summer, some shifts in the ER, others in pediatrics or obstetrics. In talking to the patients in dialysis, as a volunteer, I feel helpless with regards to their health complaints they often share with me. I don’t like feeling helpless. I would really like to learn more about them, about their the health challenges they face as dialysis patients, what their treatment options are and what is their longterm outlook. I know that as a volunteer, and pre-med student this is not the type of information I can garner, but it makes me think about my future as a physician, and the understanding and answers that I will one day have from studying the renal system. My limited knowledge from undergrad physiology textbooks doesn’t do it justice.
One of the aspects of dialysis clinic that I am enjoying, that is notably different from the other departments where I’ve helped out in the hospital, is that I am fortunate to get to see the same patients each week. That part I really enjoy. Getting to know their names, and their spouses names if they are there with them. Hearing about their kids, grandkids, and other stories they like to share. They feel like my patients, that I see on a weekly basis. When they move beds, floors or times, I notice and look for them on the schedule. A lot can happen to their health in a week, and it’s a relief to see their names.
As a volunteer I’m there to help the department run more smoothly, be it by emptying the confidential recycling bins, putting together new patient packages, taking blood work to the lab, or helping patients get to an from the different dialysis floors and their cars. With the patients I am getting to know their needs – some of them want ice chips, others want tea with half a sweetener, or two packages of digestive cookies. My past waitressing skills have come in handy, as I keep track of 12 orders for drinks and snacks in the unit. One lovely lady wants her tea at precisely 2pm, and her neighbour, who is always napping, likes to me to wake her at the same time so they can have tea together.
First day of day camp for the younger kids, and my first day of hospital training. I made arrangements to get the kids dropped off early, although this pained me a little as I wanted to be able to see my youngest off on his first day. There was no other way around this though, as the hospital is over an hour from camp.
It was a full day of training, with sessions ranging from infection control to code descriptions scheduled every half hour. They integrated staff and volunteer training. The longest session was on patient confidentiality, which is obviously critical in all medical settings. In small towns we need to be extra cautious of this, as there are so many people that we know, and are more likely to run into. For example, if you see a neighbour bringing their child into the hospital, it’s important to not go home and tell your spouse “oh, I saw so and so today at the hospital”, and similarly, if you see that neighbour or a member of their family, we are not to mention or ask about seeing them. Even though as a naturally caring person, one might want to ask how their child is doing.
It was an exciting day for me, finally get a chance to be a part of the hospital not as a patient, or the family member of one. I can’t wait to start my shifts this week.
I received an email today from the admissions department. The waitlist has moved 12 spots. Judging from past threads on PM101, the list is not likely to move much further at this point. The small glimmer of hope is still there. I am still going to graduate and submit my final transcript to OMSAS, just in case. Premed life is a roller coaster of emotions, and today sadness really sets in. Have you ever worked so hard at something, come so close, and known with all your heart that you can do something? Only to not be accepted? Dr. J has told me to think of the waitlist as the fact that they do want me, they just don’t have enough seats. Like any emotional upset, I know I just need time to pass and I’ll be ok. For now I will allow myself to feel sad.
Dr. J sent me this today after my self-pitying text to her (no she is not the Julia in the image below, that is the illustrator from this online art). Sometimes in life we know our goal, we see our goal, and we know the path we need to take to get there. But then life happens. Not being accepted to NOSM this year is not deterring me from my road to med school. I am looking at the upcoming year as an opportunity. I will be engaging in all sorts of life experiences this year, with my kids, my work, new volunteer and research opportunities, a whole slew of new courses and the knowledge that comes with them. I am looking at the year ahead as an opportunity to accomplish many scholarly goals with the additional year of undergraduate work and an honours research project in microbiology and anthropology. When the day comes that I am accepted to medical school, these twists and turns on the path to get there will only serve to make me a better physician. Here’s to road and year ahead.
The waves of sadness that hit me the past few days, were halted with an unexpected and humbling moment. I received an email confirming that my intent to graduate had been approved. The attachment included a list of award winners which I glanced at. And saw my name. Twice. This time my tears were not from the sadness of being on the wrong end of the waitlist for NOSM, but for the unexpected recognition for the hours upon hours of work, hurdles, sacrifices and accomplishments that gone into the past three years at Lakehead. Not only was I the recipient of an award for the highest marks at my campus, but a second award for the highest marks in a Bachelor’s degree between the two university campuses. Honoured, humbled, overjoyed, and an emotional wreck. That pretty much sums how I feel today.
I was driving my daughter to her french tutor this morning before school. She was playing on my phone. I’ll admit that I had let her use it to keep my mind (and eyes) from wanting to glance at it. “Mommy there’s a message” she said. My stomach went into knots. I asked her to read it, since the preview notification is generally 3 lines. All I really needed to here was the first word. Either ‘congratulations’ or the let down. “Thank you so much for participating…”. Numb. Calm. I’m ok. G went back to her game.
I didn’t get any of my errands done during that hour she was at her lesson. I call Dr. J first and told her the news. Wait list.
There are times when something’s got to give. I am capable of handling an incredible amount tasks and managing to stay calm throughout. When other’s are stressed out, I am the one who stays calm and sees what needs to be done. I clearly remember being a 14 and aunt L. was watching my siblings and I. Something caught on fire in the kitchen poor aunt L., was beside herself with panic, which spread to the other kids in the house. I remember walking into the room, seeing what was going on, grabbing baking soda from the fridge and putting the fire out. Aunt L. used to love to tell that story, of how calm under pressure I was. If only she could see me know. I appear very calm, no one would know otherwise. My surgery date is less than a month away, which feels too long for me to wait. When you find out there is a tumour in your body, waiting for it to be removed, no matter how slow growing you are told is,
