Locked-in syndrome
- what i don't want to die of. pls, I never want to even encounter a patient with that.
- its when you have a brainstem lesion. so no voluntary muscle movement, on a ventilator. but can feel and think. so conscious thoughts. think a vegetable that can feel but can't commmunicate that to other pple.
- and you wont get better.
- life would be so very horrible.
ok, joke from chara from the lecture which i did not go to.
lecturer: in tuberculosis, the part of the lung most affected is the part which is most oxygenated. so for a humna, its the upper part of your lung. so, in bats, who slp upside down, the lower part of their lung would be more oxygentated, thus get tuberculosis there.
chirs raises hand and asks: so, where does batman get his tuberculosis?
go and study! i just realised i will be celebrating my 1st national day in singapore, after a 3 or 4 year hiatus. yay! i wanna do lots of things.
