Yes, the second year of medicine had begun. This year I will learn about the physiology of the human body, its biochemistry, tissues (histology). I am also attending biophysics classes to know for example how a CT works or USG, RTG, MRI and so on. It's all so scientific and chemistry-related and maybe it's not as addictive as anatomy but surely it'll help me be a good doctor
Plus, I have to tell you I am a part of a scientific surgical circle where I learn things about surgery and I learn how to sew and perform basic surgical procedures. Yes, I do plan to be a surgeon one day. As a part of my duties in this student's organization, last Sunday I was a part of on call duty I was helping doctors and watching what they do. I was given charts of the patients we were taking care of and dr Robert explained to me everything that was there to explain. I think I gotta say that the hospital I'm studying in is Military Institiute of Medicine by the National Mnistry of Defense's Hospital. It's all so exciting out there! I was watching a procedure called 'wyłanianie jejunostomii' in Polish (forgive me for not knowing the English name yet) and consists in making a hole in one's tummy and through this hole a part of small bowel is taken out and cut in order to end there as a new anus. It was nescessary coz the patinent had colorectal cancer and his large intestine was useless. I have to tell you, cancer is horrifing. That man's stomach and intestines was almost fully covered with it, making his insides work really poorly. It was really depressing to know he isn't gonna live longer than a month. Well, but that's medicine, poeple are mortal and even the best surgeon sometimes can't help.
Anyhoo, I was so excited to walk around and help doctors and learn new things ^^

One more thing... 18.10 Sunday. I was at Riverside's gig. You surely know them even though they're Polish. The concert was great and I had so much fun. The guys really showed part of themselves while playing. It was a great show and I can't wait for the next one! Sadly, I have to wait till May for Juwenalia.
I'm leaving you with pieces of their music:
