TRI-4, Wk1, Days 203 & 204, Thur & Fri


I guess you could say I've been a bit busy lately. After school on Friday, I headed to the Double Tree hotel along with 80 other classmates who are eligible for taking Part I of National Boards this March for intense study sessions through a company called Irene Gold. On Friday we spent 2.5 hours on general anatomy and another 2.5 hours on biochemistry. Saturday consisted of 3 hours of spinal anatomy followed by 3 hours of physiology then 3 hours of microbiology.
On Sunday, today, we have another 3 hours of general anatomy, 3 hours of biochemistry and 2 hours of pathology scheduled.

I really appreciate the fact that tomorrow is Martin Luther King day and we get a day off from school. Next weekend will be more of the same but without the bonus day off, in fact, my next day off won't be until the 30th of this month.

Today's picture is of the People's Theater which is the name of the conference room at the Double Tree hotel where our Irene Gold study sessions are being held, one view from the top of the theater and one view from down by the stage looking up. The guy teaching the material is from Tampa, Florida. He's been teaching the subject matter for about 13 years, is 38 years, is a DC and has a practice which includes an MD and is very nutritionally based. He does a lot of blood test with his patients and I found it interesting when he mentioned that 8 out of 10 of his patients were lacking in Vitamin D and this is from people living in the sunshine state!

Well, it's after 4 a.m. so I better get moving. :)
