welcome winter solstice
as many would know, yesterday was the winter solstice. (beware - snow queen is coming! - jk!)
i didnt have much celebration as i was tired and lazy after the hectic week. i only ate instant noodle at night and some mandrin oranges! yummy!
but today, after bible study, i came back - and guess what - i was greeted with tang yuan!! and garlic breads!!! yay! free lunch!! praise God! if not for these people that blessed me with tang yaun and garlic breads, i wont have anything for lunch - and i would have went to bed to hibernate til dinner!
ok, this is not the exact picture - but you get my point! the tang yan given to me was done in the foochow way! meaning, no soup - tangyuan coated with peanuts and sugar! yummy!! thank you Johnny!
garlic bread- yummy - one of my favourite. it’s easy to make and cheap! and best of all, it’s filling!! well, i was supposed to make it for breakfast but i overslept - and then couldnt make it. i count it a blessing to have it for lunch! praise God!
my csi
i remember writing about the season 7 finale about 4 months ago……ok, before you read this, bear in mind, i’m a BIG fan of CSIs.
some might know, thanks to Adeline and Johnny, who supplied the whole Kursk with all 7 seasons of CSI LV, 2 season of CSI NY and some seasons of CSI Miami.
I managet to watch til now, season 1, 2, 3 and 7 of CSI LV and season 3 of CSI NY. VERY NICE!!! it’s like my dream come true because i get to watch it from the start! ahaha….
and i had the honour to finish seaosn 7 of CSI. And like when i was in Malaysia, the ending, like most of you would know, is ‘hanging’. And being a curious girl ….i couldnt stand the suspense so, i tried to find out about the ending after the first episode of season 8 was shown.
i am not going to tell u if Sara lived or not! kekekekke…
well, honestly, after so many full episodes and seasons i’ve watched, i’m begining to like Greg more!(paling right) aha..he’s the lab person and later in season 5 or so, he became a CSI. But my favourite character is stil Grissom.
oh yea!! i forgot to mention, in season 7, when grissom was on a sabbatical, there was this CSI that was transfered from New Jersey. - MIchael Keppler. Wow, he’s character is cool! smart but different from grissom. But too bad, he died just after a few episodes. His character has a great opportunity to grow! too bad.
reanimation week
as some might know, i am having reanimation cycle this week. it is a really exciting - breathtaking week that I had!
not only that you need to know about emergency medicine, you practically need to know all about medicine to be working in emergency department. life and death depends on your decisions that you have to make in seconds! and the best care the patient can get is that first few seconds that you are there…so, emergency care if an important field.the week has finally ended. i was just thinking, maybe i would like to go into emergency medicine. all these while, my interest was towards interncal medicine but after this week, i feel that the first few moments that you get to the victim/patient is one of the most critical moments that determines how the patient will live in days to come. the decisions and manipulations plays a great role!
one of the simplest thing i can share with you all - when you feel your heart is racing (tachycardia) - not because you are looking at the love of your life! ahaha.. but for some unknown reason, well, you can try this manuevers.
firstly - try to massage your carotid artery (Hering reflex) - where can u find that? it’s on your neck, below your ear. massage it for 15-20 seconds on each side. not both at once! you dont want to fait due to less blood going into your brain! massage on each side. it will help your heart rate to decrease due to mechanism that stimulates the vagal tone - leading to decrease heart rate.
if that doest work, try pressing your eye balls (with ur eyes close!) for 10-15 seconds and release it, and repeat it. not too hard, K! dont want to burst it! this is another reflex that could help decrease heart rates! this is known as Ascher reflex.
next, you can try closing your mouth and holding your nose (closin the nosetrils) and try to expire. you can hear a ‘pop’ in your ears. (Valsalva maneuver) do that a few times and try feeling your heart rate. this reflex works if you feel deaf in the airplane too! it opens the eustachian tube and help the balance the pressure in your ear!
ok - if all these does not work, and your heart is stil racing fast - go to the emergency room as soon as possible. but if the doctor stil cannot help, maybe you’ve fallen inlove with her! and that makes your heart race!
