I’m taking a break from studying ENT (oral+clinic tomorrow).
I just need to brighten up this page. Here’s an old painting I did that looks like a child’s work, but painting it made me happy because I love the thought of sitting under a tree, day dreaming. I can’t wait for exams to be over.
What I should know:
- Unilateral ENT signs and symptoms in an adult/elderly person raises suspicion of malignancy. Unilateral glue ear, epistaxis.
- Risk factors for neck ca: a poor old man who smokes, drinks and chews betel nut all day (low Socioeconomic group, old age, male, smoking, alcohol abuse, betel nut chewing)
- Cholesteatoma
- plus the normal tonsillitis, ear infections, nose bleeds, rhinosinusitis, quinsy etc.
- Facial nerve division: temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, cervical (two zebras bit my cat)
- all clinical signs and symptoms in ENT, treatment and such.
- and I’m still wasting time blogging
