No, your pal zzzz is not on anti-psychotic drugs, but on anti depressants. And he's not even popping pills. There are things more effective than pills...like beer....although that presents a host of other problems....mainly drinking and driving. ALthough zzzzz doesn't drive anything at the moment. According to his doctor (therapist) a time dilation field marked by a black hole in the space time continuum can sonicfy the amplication of endorfic molecules in the portal lobe of the cortex.
Yeah as if I would know what I means. Another week and another conquest. This time a conquest of the metal variety. I managed to trash 2, possibly 3, good working computers this week when I try to make them faster and better and more efficient. Apparently trying to replace the intel core chip of computers is more difficult than I thought. For those who are clueless, the chip core intel is the processor of the computer. In laptops, this little device makes all the calculations needed for the system to run. I thought if I can replace one with a faster one, then why not. But of course I neglected to research the how to online. So I took out the chips and now I can replace them, either I don't know how to put them back or I ve damaged the pin board when I tried to install them. Anyways, I use to have 2 good laptops, now they are nothing more than 3kg paper weights. :(
Think before you make up your mind, I realized perfectly well I was woefully inadaquate for the task and I went ahead anyways. Good thing they didn't put me in surgery when doctors here had to drain an bacteria infection abcess from the shoulder of a 1 month old child. Arthritis Abcess....infection of the bone.....possibly the kid is autoimmune...but a bad thing nonetheless. Bone infections are deep, making it hard to treat and especially in a 1 month old. Surgery would have to be drastic....no choice....if not then the infect spreads and kills.
On a lighter note, zzzzz is making great progress on the western front. Tzzzzzzzzzzzzke [Deleted by Right to Censorship] the zzzzzz pill and zzzz yourself at the same time. One or both will zzz you.
Yeah I am still trying to get over the mess. Apparently forget is harding than memorizing....at least for me. :S

Before it happened
No point digging into the past, it may turn out I was link to a serial killer or cult leader. The week was certainly a difficult one for me. First the chest pain, then the ichy feet, then the szzzzzzzz, then the zzzzz, then the adrenaline rush. But before all this, there was ping point. Yes, ping pong, I have played it before but I was never sure about the rules. Now I got this zzzzzouching me about ping pong and I m getting better everyday. Can't tell if its just natural talent or natural selection....natural selection in that her zzzzz her is motivating me to be better to impress zzzzzzzzz. LOLOL
This week I was in ward round every morning. Of course I am not a medical student, I am just a zzzzzz, although to be fair I have taken some lower level undergrad pre med courses. Wow.....ward rounds. Kids who are crazy, kids who are malnourish, and adults with gapping wound infections in her foot. A technique that I have never seem done before and now I can claim to have seem it in action. We had a diabetic woman with a foot infection. The foot stank, and not just cause it s a foot. It was necrotic...rotting tissue. Antibiotics and bandaging didn't halt the infection. So a young doc suggested using sugar..yes granulated sugar (sucrose) to pack the wound and the sugar will kill the bacteria and heal the wound. The idea behind this is osmotic action, sugar being ionic in high concentrations will dehydrate the bacteria cells, killing them.
Of course only in Uganda will you find this or not. Look, in a developing world hospital, western medicine can't be practice fully. So more creative and resourceful approaches must be sought. Sugar in a wound...in a diabetic patient of all peoples. Well it could folk lore or a pipe dream of really works...but I don't know. Well, the injury was located inthe foot and it was already oedemic and getting poor circulation, no way the sugar would have affected the diabeties. So yeah, again I got to observe a minor sugar as it going on. Although no cutting this time...just plenty of poking and protting and stuffing.
So what does this have to do with IT and computers and Netcorp and network. Well, as I said, I am not a smart med student yet, so I needed to play to my strength. Armed with a laptop during the ward round, and with internet connection, I can literally access anything I didn'
t understand and read up on things. Yes, the laptop was my textbook and the world wide web my library. Now I can actually have a chance to keep up with new words and definitions and diseases and other medical stuff right on the fly.
Once I get network coverage to everywhere in the hospital, time to learn medicine and fulfill my secondary objectives for my placement in Bwindi, Uganda. Now if only I can stop this chest pain. Apparently the metaphor is not just a metaphor. Think I can zzzzzzzzzzzzin the end?
