Welcome

I am Gurvinder Singh, also very well known as Kabir, G, Shampy, Golu and panghoode-wala-sant (my father called me that when I was young). I am currently a student of medicine in carribeans. I am going to share my experiences and goofy adventures through this blog.

First day (making the blog) - It seemed like an eternity to find a suitable name for this blog and to come up with a title. As you might not know, English is my 4th language so thinking and finding a name which fits my personality was bit of a hard task. And for people with English as mother tongue if I make a mistake grammatically or constructing a sentence, you are gonna have to forgive me for hurting your feelings. I will try my best to not butcher it.

Anyways, today started as regular day. I had my ICM today. (Integrated Clinical Management - thats what I think it stands for, basically its where u poke around a voluntary patient to practice your clinical skills). We practiced our basic reflexes and I think hitting people with hammer to get a neurological response seemed like fun. And after we had Stan sessions where we were given a stimulated patient (like a robo-patient), which was showing symptoms of a asthmatic attack. And as a group of 9 students we were able to make sure that patient didn't 'crumped' (medical slang for - dying), and survive our unmanaged and very doubtful clinical skills.

I think I am loving practicing clinical skills. I think its the challenge that fires me up.

I will soon post some pictures from my clinical practice for ICM.
