Funny Definitions in Medicine "Created by Young Medical Scholars"
This information came over the internet some years ago. It purports to be the answers given by students in science exams around the world. It came with the comment that "it is truly astonishing what weird science our young scholars can create under the pressure of time and grades?." I was unable to trace the author, but as the work deserves wider dissemination, I present here the answers of most interest to a medical audience.
General:
"The body consists of three parts - the brainium, the borax, and the abominable cavity. The brainium contains the brain; the borax, the heart and lungs; and the abominable cavity, the bowls, of which there are five - a, e, i, o, and u."
Respiration:
"When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire"
"Respiration consists of two acts: first inspiration, then expectoration."
Cardiovascular:
"The three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and caterpillars."
Gastrointestinal:
"The alimentary canal is located in the northern part of Alabama."
Dentistry:
"A permanent set of teeth consists of eight canines, eight cuspids, two molars, and eight cuspidors."
Orthopaedics:
"The skeleton is what is left after the insides have been taken out and the outsides have been taken off. The purpose of the skeleton is something to hitch meat on."
Reproductive medicine:
"Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the cow instead of the bull."
"To prevent contraception, wear a condominium."
"Many women believe that an alcoholic binge will have no effects on the unborn fetus, but that is a large misconception."
Haematology:
"Before giving a blood transfusion, find out if the blood is affirmative or negative."
Eyes and nose:
"To remove dust from the eye: pull the eye down over the nose."
"For nosebleeds, put the nose lower than the body until the heart stops."
"For a cold: use an agoniser to spray the nose until it drops in your throat."
First aid:
"For fainting: rub the person's chest or, if a lady, rub her arm above the head instead. Or put the head between the knees of the nearest doctor."
"For asphyxiation: apply artificial respiration until the patient is dead."
"For drowning: climb on top of the person and move up and down to make artificial perspiration."
"For dog bite: put the dog away for several days. If he has not recovered, then kill it."

Give love to others through kindness, it will come back to you multiplied in every area of your life
''You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it. Thats what gives you dignity, that the whole existence will miss you. The stars and sun and moon, the trees and birds and earth - everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody except you. This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and existence cares for you. Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions.'' Osho
With every single person you come into contact, you are either giving love or you're not. And based on what you give, that is what you receive. Give love to others through kindness, encouragement, support, gratitude, or any good feeling, and it comes back to you multiplied in every area of your life.
Look for the things you love in a relationship more than you notice negative things and it will appear as if something incredible has happened to the other person. You have to be happy to receive the happy versions of other people. The force of love presents you with a whole array of Personal Emotional Trainers, disguised as everyday people, but they are all training you to choose love !
Life is presenting every person and circumstance to you so you can choose what you love and what you don't love. When you react to anything you are reacting with your feelings, and as you do, you are choosing it.
Changing the way you feel is easy compared to running around trying to change the circumstances of the outside world.Change your feelings and the outside circumstances will change.

Helpful tips that will help you Succeed in medical College
The first 2 years of medical school are a lot like college - if you study hard and play enough you'll do great. It's not uncommon for students to have plenty of time for other activities. The key in all these cases is discipline - studying in medical school is a JOB. Plan to b...e in class or studying 40-50 hours a week, and you'll succeed. Here are a few tips that will help you:
1-Take advantage of students who've gone before. Track down someone who's a year ahead. They'll tell you which courses are bears, which professors are bores, and how to study for specific tests. Forming a relationship with them is also helpful for subsequen...t years.
2-Have fun. This applies to what you're studying and what you're doing outside of class work. Enjoy what you study - find ways of making studying fun. Get a study group together, make flashcards for pharmacology, work medical crossword puzzles, or do whatever you can to make the material less dry.
3-Equally important, keep active outside of class. Third year of med school isn't the end of your life outside of medicine, but it sure does change your lifestyle. Take advantage of first and second years - get out hiking, play basketball, learn to fence (you know you've always wanted to). The physical activity will be a good break from the books, and you'll come back refreshed and ready to rumble.1- If allowed, get old tests from the course. Exams are often built from a question database.
4- Use on-line tests. There are a lot of practice questions available on the web.
5- Study for the national board exam section. This is great advice, especially if your final exam is the national board.
6- Go to class. The people who rely solely on their notes and their textbooks (this is can be 30 percent or more of the class) fare much worse than the people actually who go to class regularly.
7- Study for the test. The problem here is that there can be so much material for a course, it's easy to lose track of what you need to concentrate on. Remember they'll be testing what's important to medicine. The questions you see on med school exams keep coming back - on national boards, in the wards, and in dealing with patients.
