Considering it's oh...13 days OVER DUE, happy new year to all.

Okay, having done that, 2010 has so far been smooth-sailing with minor blips along the way. I'm NOT getting involved in weird pseudo-family problems, I've actually started writing (all thanks to Bibi!) and I think that's about it. Work so far has been well...work. I can only hope for

LOLOLOL the vasoconstrictor thing, and the circulatory system stuff. Finally someone feels my pain! &hearts&hearts OMFG I ALWAYS have to work stuff out. Like I have to wrack my brains and go like "so which stupid drug does that again?!" And HEEEELLL learning all those stupid drug names is like learning French or something.

Thank goodness I didn't pick up pharamcology or something. How much stuff are you expected to remember though? D:

Before I passed out, I was expected to know about 9 common drugs found in the ambulance, their contraindications etc. I thought the review would be so much harder - turns out that it isn't. Wasted my time learning things that never came up like the difference between drowning and near drowning and so forth.

Thank god I'm only a Level 1 paramedic (and not gonna go higher - no chance to do so anyways since they've closed the position). I've read some of the things the Level 3 paramedics (those who signed on) have to memorize and god, i don't know how they do it. Heck, I don't know how YOU do it!

rolf oh man, so you had to learn about emergency medicine yes? D: GAH I hate contraindications. They're so confusing. UGH D: I know that it's essential to learn all about it, but WTF it's just so dry and boring. ):

LOL I try to remember by drawing mindmaps. And uh there are some books with cute little mnemonics. Saves me for the exam, but I can't rmber anything for shit right after I step out of the exam hall!
