I've got a cold. And they say doctors make the worst patients. I guess that makes medical students pretty bad too. I've got a runny nose and a sore thought and a cough and generally feel a bit rubbish. I haven't missed any lectures though! I had a practical this morning, doing ECGs. At the start the lecturer said "One of the groups gets to be the patient and needs to like down quietly for the duration of the class". I thought that this was fantastic and could have a little snooze and would still be marked as attending. Then she went on to say that this patient for the ECG had to be in perfect health and not be on any medications. As I'd started my day with a crumpet, a mug of hot ribeana and a cold and flu remedy containing paracetamol, phenylephrine and caffeine, this ruled me out. And I actively took part in the practical. I still feel pretty rotten though. I've had this afternoon off because it's Wednesday but it hasn't been too productive with my snotty nose!
I've been for tea now and had plenty of broccoli and carrots!
