Tales from med school part III

Cayght up with two groups of old friends today. first, the guy from med school, met up with his group at central peninsula. Then met up with my old college group at the Ghatkoper MAcDonalds, but only two of them showed up on time, and I had to catch a three thirty lecture in my college. Med school friends goes back in two hours, so this is the cuncluding part of the series.

So plunging right into the subject, as my friend from med school keeps doing, more fun with the year system. The effect of all that blah is that the third year, can be of a year, of two or of four, depending on your convenience. This line should have been in yesterday’s post but what the hell. Yesterday’s post should also contain the fact that the internal skin was called Fascia, and that Neeraj’s pet name is partner because he is a partner in all the crimes, but never gets caught.
Anyway, today’s post will contain (a) frog dissection (apparently they do not have enough human bodies after all) and (b) fainting girl.

Frog dissection was shoved into med school and removed from the syllabus of Junior college because of Maneka Gandhi. Although the frogs, being lower organisms, have a pretty basic nervous system, so they feel no pain if you plunge a scalpel down their neck and twist it around to kill them.
But this is the totally pussy way of killing frogs before you dissect them.
The real way to do it, is to grab them by the legs and smash their craniums against the table.

Flashback to the year 2001. I was in eighth standard (damn hasn’t time flown by) and I helped him out in his project by catching a frog for him. Ever tried killing a frog? It is actually impossible. We were stabbing it left right and centre and its stupid legs refuse to try running away. Eventually, we just put it in the freezer.

I hope Maneka Gandhi does not frequent this blog.

So there is this girl in first first who should have been in first second but failed because of a nervous problem. Apparently, she faints when she gets anxious. So she faints, then faints because she fainted and could not study, and then faints because she is hideously ill.
My friend believes she will continue to be in first first because she continues to suddenly fall in and around the campus. She fainted in the middle of opening up a body, and it was just too sudden without any indication…
So she was in the hospital, and friends had gone over... for whatever friends go over to sick friends in hospital for. Although I do it to make fun and try to steal an occasional kidney, others are more considerate towards their friends.
So they try to cheer her up by doing various things, one of them involve my friend dancing. He is a rotten dancer, (so they make fun of each other I guess, med school is weird). He started doing what he knew of dandia.



Yeah of course you guessed it, she fainted.


For a good TWO HOURS.
