Screwed UP

I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
You don't have to
Believe mè

I screwed the msn spaces (or it screwed me up vis-a-vis) so came back here haha.. anyway i took a damn long time to come up with the background so might as well keep this.

Okay working hard is in..slacking out..but I guess a few minutes of slackness constitutes for nothing much. I finally went to gave blood after a long break....haha and guess what..kenna rejected for reasons that I should have known. Went to donate blood coz blood bank running out of blood and so was to enthusiastic to give blood. But because of dear mister dengue and the plasma transfusion I had not longer that 2 months ago, I was rejected..but still got the complimentary milo and biscuits.

Finished renal physiology...boy is that a the mother of all chapters..haha. So many things to comprehend...in the words of Prof Kaur.."many many"... haha no pun intended. But not really that bad i guess... really something interesting. How your body responds to you destroying to self-destruct and all. Next week I'm am going to watch a surgery realtime and that too during Chinese New Year...haha..what am I implying. Doctors work 24/7 7 days a week. Holidays for us doesn't mean diseases have holidays.

Talking about diseases, yesterday, watched a video about the ebola virus. It's a type of death that is painful to the very end....trust me. Firstly, the virus attacks all your blood immune cells. then it attacks the mast cells and macrophages in the connective tissue of organs. Then as those cells die, like dying heros, they release histamine and cytokines. This makes your capillary walls very permeable even to red blood cells. Blood leakes out everywhere. Mass internal haemorrhage. Blood leaks out from every orifice in your body, ear, eyes, mouth, nose..everywhere. The liver shuts down due to necrosis followed the kidneys, heart and lungs. Blood leaks into your stomach, intestines and you vomit blood.

Finally Death......
Fatal 100%..i.e. you get it..you die.
And we thought Bird flu was bad!

Microkillers..assasins of the future?
