So we had our 2nd case study presentation yesterday; it went okay except for a few minor bumps that I'm sure Lucia would appreciate I didn't elaborate about in here.

Anyways... what I plan to do next time is have all the rest who aren't assigned to the Drug Study, Diagnostic exams, Anatomy, and Pathophysiology make NCPs coz really, having to make multiple ones is a chore and a headache although I am getting a bit too used to it.

I'd like to handle Anatomy and Physio next time we do another case study coz it would be challenging. No wait, scratch that, if I want a challenge I should volunteer for either the Drug Study or the Pathophysiology. But Patho's Nick's forte and he explains it so well it would be a crime to our group grade if somebody else took over that part. Drug Study it is.

Why is it such a challenge? Well... try explaining the actions of about 10+ drugs, know by heart their generic name, brand names, classification, contraindication, adverse effects, all available stock dose and forms, dosage and route, special precautions, drug interaction, indication, and nursing consideration and try to explain why this drug was prescribed by the doctor for the patient whose case you're studying and do that in front of a panel (at times) of R.N.s who butt in and correct you just about every other sentence you utter; wouldn't that be a challenge to you as well?

Considering our previous experience in pharmacology because of that horrid professor I kept ranting about a few months ago, is it any wonder most (if not all) from our batch mislike the very thought of doing drug studies?

Gahh...
