TSR Med Students' Society (TSR Meds)

Is everyone else having the time of their lives at med school???

Hmmmm... Just got off the phone to him in doors... Some post arrived for me today, no idea what it was so I got him to open it. Turns out I won one of the year 4 prizes!!!! A nice cheque too (dated the begining of October 2008!!!), which will come in handy for eating and stuff (bloody final year poverty!) I'm just a bit bemused (but not overly surprised) that the School didn't mention it to me in any way, shape or form!!! Still, definitely the kind of lack of communication I can cope with!!!

I've never won a nerdy prize before

urgh valentines day - a conspiracy invented by card companies so theres no after christmas slump.
i dont understand why people go all mushy and crap.
im gonna go have a drink

im sooooooo bored i have a job starting tuesday or maybe thursday or maybe whenever they call me. nice.

Would you like to write my essay on political ideologies in museum displays? I'm discussing postmodernism and liberalism in relation to the Body Worlds exhibition....

erm - i got to would you like to write before my brain turned off - but hey why not lol.

If anyones around, I don't really understand why an elevated JVP can be indicative of right heart failure? If the pressure is high, that means indirectly RA pressure is high, so bad RV?

RV failure leads to back pressure i.e. increased pressure in the venous system and capillaries (hence the other signs such as peripheral oedema). The increased venous pressure means that more blood 'backs up' in the SVC and therefore the jugular veins.

It's also a sign of fluid overload.

just to add what visesh has said, if the patient had left heart failure, then the problems would be in the lung vasculature, which leads to breathing problems...

I'm tempted to go and do ATLS abroad
