questions that puzzle me...

today's hs5201-paper had some interesting questions that puzzel me. basically i don't remember hearing them in lecture and i didn't read them in the notes. haha... stilll...i must admit that i am not a very attentive and dilligent student so err... maybe i am wrong still.... these are the questions:

1-what is the kind of non-absorable suture for stitching up fats (or skin huh)?
answer-proplene (this one is in the notes), reverse cutting needle-aka cutting needle (got mention before?!)

2-how does ototoxicity affect the listening?
answer-poisonous to the inner ear or the vestibulocochlear nerve, therefore it damages the nerve #8
(i tot that was a bio. question sia)

but on the whole, thank God that the SAQ were easy, so can smoke smoke here and there. =) can pass can liao.
all the best for the rest of the papers! =)

Most of us went to the mock test on Monday but it didn't turn out well. In my view, it was too simply. No medicine asked and no specialised questions (eg. schiz/eating disorders/anger management...)! *sigh* Instead of getting a panic and eagering wanting to study more, i get the a little frustrated not knowing what My S had in our exam! *sigh*

below is Mr S's feedback on our mock test, no results, no answers, no pointing out what to focus on. *sigh*

Dear all,

Basically all have passed the MCQ. Marksranging from 11-14.As for SAQ, majority of you merely "vomitedout" what u have memorisedwith no application to the case study.Q26 (TNPR) & Q28, you must apply it to the case study.A few did very well with applicationto case study and detailed explanation and rationales.

Well done and Keep it Up! For the others, I suppose u have not prepared / study for this module yet. It's Ok.just take this mock exam a measure of how much u know. There is still ample time for u to prepare for the exam. I believe all of u will do well in the examination.

Think positive, your behaviour and feelingwill be positive. Hopefully, outcome will be positive too.Best wishes for the coming exam andyour future. TQ. Warmest Regards,S.
