Endocrinology Posting

Hey people, guess you have all been wondering how distant i have been from this blog. Yeah i was MIA.

It was endocrinology posting  and i will say it took much of my time. Well it was interesting as well as boring.

During my first few days in this rotation, i sat still trying to remember types of inflammation and which one occurs in different autoimmune scenarios, i was taken back to my knowledge of biochemistry  the many metabolic pathways: PPP(Pentose phosphate pathway), glycolytic, gluconeogenesis, glyconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, beta oxidation and Krebs cycle. Anatomical knowledge wasn't left out cos you have to know location of the endocrine organs and how they function from there location.Every Physiological detail about these organs, their reception, transport and function were also all needed to make studying pathology of the endocrine system a success.

I learnt there was no fast-forward button in med-school because for every skipped learning, you will have to press the rewind  to move on in medical career successfully.

During cu ration, i had opportunity to examine a diffuse  toxic nodular goiter patient and it was fun getting to learn from the illness and how to maintain it. i mean the anti-thyroid drugs, beta adrenoblockers and sedatives majorly calms it off.

So if you are looking forward to the cycle be sure you  enjoy it as Diabetes mellitus ad mist  others will catch your attention.

And now i am of to ENT...........
