I diagnosed a boy yesterday with brain tumor.

It was a hard news to break to the mother.

He's getting brain surgery today. It was the largest brain tumor that I have ever seen.

Right, another one of those funny "about london" posts coming up:

you know how i posted my last journal about the little snow problem we had over here? well ive gathered more information about that. here goes:

you see when it snowed here, the roads became icy and snowy (slippery) and even tho the london mayor claims that there were people working on the roads to clean off the snow and the ice in any form of way, They haven't, and this had resulted in a number of incidents on the road. this is why all bus services in the first time of history were shut down in london for a whole day. Most of trains were shut down aswell because of these road problems. This is why there was also no school or no work for anyone yesterday, and there is no school today aswell. Which made england look like a 3rd world country according to some people

The mayor of london claimed that they were doing the best they could and this now 10 cm deep snow was the most snow they've had for 18 years. Well i guess we cant blaim our good old boris.

The number of incidents on the roads were huge yesterday, and i have a feeling it would be same today for the roads still havent been cleaned, and in some parts of london it rained meaning there will be ice.

But on the bright side, yesterday alot of grown-up's that couldnt make it to work got to go outside and play with eachother in the snow, yeah thats righ.

Merry Christmas over here from london! yes. Christmas.

Christmas arrived aproximately 40 days later than expected and now it has brought us a "huge" layer of snow about 5cm deep. yeah, huge. The hugest snow we'v had in 18 years! yeah.
more here

Its a national catastrophy over here, End of the world?
All bus services have been suspended, all primary schools have been closed, most underground and train services have been suspended and almost every single flight in the airports near or in london has been suspended because of this 5cm deep snow.

No one can go to work or leave it and no one can certainly leave london,
And the news people state that no one must leave home unless absolutely necessary (lol).

Edit: 6 million people didnt go to work today because of this. lol.

Now thats what i call Christmas eh?.

A recent forum discussion got me curious about other countries' education systems, so please explain yours here in as consise a way as possible.

Scotland:
Primary School (P1 - P7): Starting at age 5, scottish kids do a mandatory 7 years of Primary school.

Secondary School/High School (S1 - S4): The first 4 years are mandatory, as students study at a "Standard Grade." With Standard Grades, students of ages 16 and up can leave education entirely and get a job, or go straight to college from here.

Higher Secondary School/High School (S5 - S6): The optional final 1 or 2 years (depending on your course choices) will see students studying for Highers. These are held with greater regard than England's A-levels. Depending on exam success, S6 can be devoted to an Advanced Higher.

College:
Depending on success at school, students can study for a National Certificate (NC,) a Higher National Certificate (HNC,) or a Higher National Diploma (HND.) There are also hundreds of further education courses that fall outside these three categories. Courses can last between a year and 3 years.

Uni:
Having never been myself, i can't really say. All i know is that it's a lot more theory work than the practical work of colleges. I guess universities are pretty universal.

A 5-day-old child is brought to the emergency department because he has been difficult to arouse over the last 6 hours. His parents report that he has not been interested in feeding today and that he has been breathing rapidly and with a grunting noise. On physical examination, the infant's heart rate is 185 beats/min, respiratory rate is 80 breaths/min, and blood pressure is 55/40 mm Hg. A pulse is palpable in the right brachial region, but not in the feet. All of his extremities are cool and mottled, with a capillary refill of more than 2 seconds.
Of the following, the MOST appropriate next step is to

arrange for echocardiography at the first appointment in the morning

initiate a furosemide infusion

initiate a prostaglandin infusion

obtain a computed tomography scan of the head

obtain a lumbar puncture

Good things DO happen to good people.

I went to an internship interview today. I have only went to two interview previously and this one was high stakes. Armed only with basic tips and a flatbook of 25 of my absolute best works in it (Riverpool included, lol). I wear my best with a suit and tie, dress shoes, belt, shaved, combed hair and a light dab of my expensive cologne (not too much, people hate it when you smell like a flower). I arrive at his office after scrambling around for a moment looking for some business building. Turns out its the guy's house and the "shop" is a million-dollar house on lake-front property surrounded by more million-dollar properties. The Vice-President of Operations answers the door... he was in a shirt and shorts (boxers?) and invited me in. The place is stupendously royal with Hawaiian art and posters of Jimmi Hendrix, with a CD collection to boot.

The interview took place on his patio facing the lake. He told me about his company and where they are going and what they are about. After his intro, I hand him my flatbook and he takes a gander at it. He gets half-way, silence so far, and exclaims "Your work is bad-ass!" One of the other workers there give him his pen back, I met him aswell, and he showed the employee my flatbook, he too was very impressed and recommends I work with them on the new project they have undertook. We traded experience and tools-we-know stuff and there he has no problem with the way I do things, in fact, he is allowing me to choose my tools to get things done, either bring them in or he will get them to me somehow.

The rest of the time was meeting the rest of the staff who worked like friends around the guy's home casually. They were all impressed and were eager to see what I could bring to the table. At the end I mentioned transportation was an issue because I have not a car, but only a bike. The guy offered a carpool scenario, and if I wanted to come later and stay later, I could (likely won't though). I exit his "shop" and text my ride who had run off to do errands. The vice-pres comes around in his SUV and asks "You need a ride, buddy?" I declined and said my ride is on the way.

I got a place in a very prestigous group and he plans to keep me there and turn it into a career for me. I'm totally cool with that.

This day has been epic and win.
