Pharmacology Practical

It's already coming to the end of the semester (how time flies!!) and im only one week plus away from swot vac., and then follow up by the ever-so-scary exams.. grr!
Anyway, the good thing is, i have mostly half-day classes now, as there's no more Biochemistry lecture now, and Pharmacology Prac is coming to the end, with just one more major report to hand in (Jia You!! Jia You!!!) Sigh,..... Whatabout this pharmacology prac that i need to blog about? Im just going into some thinking when Emmeline asked me the other day, how come we do experiments on human (ourselves) and rather not on animals such as laboratory rats? And apparently from Sarah's page, i got to know that they did theirs on rats too! Hmm....

Here's the one that im writing on for my major report this semester... Local Anaesthetics (experiments using human subjects)

Aims: To examine the effects of local anaesthetics on the skin; and to compare the local anaesthetic potencies of lignocaine and prilocaine.

What should i write for this report? I dont know.... Sei lar... so late already, almost due date *sobs*

Here's a pic from the experiment.. and clearly, it's MY poor hand...

The freaking SIX injectionS of local anaesthetics FangMing gave me.. It's clearly marked from A to F.

0.10mL of each local anaesthetics is injected into the skin intradermally (meaning it's only on the surface, a 'lil underneath the skin). When the needle is correctly places, the site will blanch as soon as some of the drug solution is injected and a small weal (mosquito-bite-look-alike) will be formed as the remainder of the solution is injected. How pathetic, i can't believe i'd eventually be the subject..
Well, the consequences? I got a numb hand for the rest of the day......
No, it doesnt look like drug addicts "getting" their portion of drugs as quoted by baybee, but it's more like someone with diabetes, and needs to get insulin injected all the time.. haha!
Anyway, that's over.. I shall concentrate of getting my report done, and let's put this as part of my memories.. cos i never shall repeat the same things again =)


For a longer post, here's something i found on my right leg yesterday.. Where did it come from? You tell me.... A Super big bruise!!

Need a closer look? Here it is~~



Does it look clear?? I'll tell you what it looks like.... It kinda looks like the love-bite baybee gave me somewhere else on my body... HAHAHA!!!


Will leave it here for now... Back for updates soon... =) Have a nice day!

P/S: Baybee said he did well in today's exam and i feel so happy for him =) Way to go, hunnieeeeee~~~ MuackS!!
