The words form the acronym "CNS"...

- Geeker

Wednesday Words: Extra Stuff'

 I've been thinking...

(Yes, very dangerous; I agree)

I have thought of another way to appease you viewers. For Wednesday Words, I'm going to post the definition and not the word itself.

(More work for you!)

So, let's start today!

I'll use the term "[WORD]" to replace the text. This week's definition is from Wikipedia!

[WORD] from Greek meaning "itching condition" or "being itchy" is a common, chronic, relapsing/remitting, immune-mediated skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches, papules, and plaques, which usually itch. The skin lesions seen in [WORD] may vary in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. The disease affects 2–4% of the general population

Wednesday Words and Thinking Thursday: DST?

I don't often do posts for Thinking Thursday, so I decided to do a combined one for yesterday's Wednesday Words!..

So, what is DST?

Deep sleep therapy (DST), also called prolonged sleep treatment or continuous narcosis, is a psychiatric treatment in which drugs are used to keep patients unconscious for a period of days or weeks.  - Wikipedia

But, for Thinking Thursday here's your question:

If a patient who consented to DST died, who would be to blaim?

Wednesday Words: Hints?

Wednesday Words again! Here's a hint to this week's Mash-Up Monday!:

Homeostasis, also spelled homoeostasis (from Greek: ὅμοιος homoios, "similar" and στάσις stasis, "standing still"), is the property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. Examples of homeostasis include the regulation of temperature and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH). It is a process that maintains the stability of the human body's internal environment in response to changes in external conditions. - Wikipedia

BrightMed 2: I found this humerus...

 Busy day yesterday!

Well, where do I begin? I met up with some interesting people in the morning,  where we went in pairs and retrieved a clean t-shirt. We then began to follow some instructions towards where each area of the body is. Ribs, lungs, kidneys, etc. And then drew them on a t-shirt.

Sadly though, mine didn't look quite like this:

 But, I'm sure it was close enough. Just kidding, we didn't do the muscles! :)

Then, we entered the computer lab and researched a particular organ of our choice. Ours being the large intestine. Following this, we had to right out simple instructions so that others can draw the large intestine without looking at a picture.

Now, have you ever had to write instructions for where the large intestine is, what angle it is at, and where its ascending colon is found?

Well, have a go:

It was great, I now know exactly where it is positioned, and where it lies according to other organs.

After this, we left the lab and shared our findings with another pair. There's being the adrenal glands. I have to say, I felt sorry for them when they had to work through a one and a half page of large intestine instructions. There's was awesome, it really helps with your individual learning.

Lastly we teamed up in a group of six, and were given a career to research. We were given oncology and took on a particular area of the job. I researched a typical day in the life, and their training requirements. This task itself was particuarly fascinating, as we then had to watch, and present our findings to the rest of the students. This was a key highlight; it made us consider career paths we hadn't looked at in medicine, and adapted our confidence skills when presenting. I'd love to do more of this!

Sadly, it was the end of the day for BrightMed. But, not for my work - I set off onto cadet duty and returned thoroughly satisfied with the overall day I have had.

Here's a interesting video on the digestive system:
