'Make way, subjects coming through'

I normally dont do this. I normally dont blog what happens to me in daily life. Because if I do, my readers would be bored(I'm an ordinary student living an ordinary life.).
But this time I'd like to share a rather fun (funny) experience that had happened on Wed (25th July).

You see, I might have joined med school already but I'm still in the preparatory phase. So, we're not officially Year 1 students just yet. The REAL Year 1 med students were having their Professional Exams this week. Their last paper was the Practical part where they had to perform Auscultary (blood pressure taking) for patients. Since they're first year students, it wouldnt be appropriate to perform on REAL patients so our Lectures asked for volunteers. And yes. We the Prep Course students volunteered as their SUBJECTS.

We felt like lab rats.
It was hilarious.
The students were so nervous , I felt soooo pity by just looking at them.
Nervousness can really bring down one's performance. Some of em' did everything upside down. I didnt know whether to laugh or help them. (I couldnt do both)

We were in alot of pain at the end of the session . Blood pressure taking can be painful if you pump a lil tooo much.

But trust me, we have all become so good in Auscultary. When its our turn next year, we (I Hope) will ace this part of the examination.
