Guilt

Hello

I am so sorry I haven't updated this blog for a while.

Freshers week is longer over,and its now back to being busy and studying, YAY!!!(not)

Why do I feel guilty?

• My body is not being my best friend,I have been really tired,and I spent some time in hospital.
• As a result of the above,I have not bloged,and I have so much uni work to catch up on

I feel better now,so hopefully(crosses finger and toes) there will be a lot more blog posts.


Why was I in hospital?About two weeks ago,I collapsed in the street,luckily I don't remember it or else I would have been mortified.

I remember waking up in hospital and being in agony.My arms where really cramped ,i couldnt move and I was shivering.Not being in control of your body is quite possibly one of the worst feelings I have ever experienced.

After some tests ,they found out I has high blood sugar levels and a potassium deficiency.
Potassium is important because its really important for muscle signaling,and your heart is a muscle.

I have steroid induced diabetes,which I am now treating using insulin.

Please check back for more updates soon. :)

Grades in medical school

Hi,Sorry for the really long break between posts.It was a very hectic start of the academic year.

To all future medics,I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS on getting into medical school.

Its fair to say that most all students that get into medical school will be used to getting good grades.

But its impossible to be the best all the time.Remember to become a doctor you need to PASS every test. A grades are great but they are not a necessity
