I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird; I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train

Today was the most fun school day ever. :D

1. Got to catheterize male and female and get jelly lubricant and 'pee' all over my hands. Success on first try with the doctor pouring huge amounts of 'pee' into the bladder

2. Got to wear the pulse oximeter and BP cuff. My oxygen saturation is 100%!

3. Got to charge the paddles to 150 (not 300 like in tv shows) and shout 'All clear!' and shock the (fake) patient

4. Managed to intubate the patient on my first try

5. Got to put in a NG tube and open the patient's chest and watch it go into his stomach. Also put in one into the lungs oops- but got to feel the high resistance

6. Volunteered to set up the bag mask ventilator and ventilate at 20 breaths per minute

7. Got praised by the surgeon for my continuous suture (beams)

8. Love knot tying- except I just realised he didn't teach us the one-handed one! Have to watch the video tonight.

9. Learnt the subcutaneous suture (start from deep)

10. Ayam penyet

Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer

Who of us is good at all
without Your love
to heal our brokenness?
