'Attach the leads, press print'

- How to Take an ECG
Then why can't the machine analyse the printouts for me too?


"By week five, we'll end (up) with heart failure,"
what we were told on the first day of the semester.

I have no idea how I'm suppose to understand (and remember) everything that can go wrong with a human heart in 5 weeks. That blob of muscle is way too complex. And I'm suppose to figure out a diagnosis by looking at 9 crooked lines and listening to 4 points of the chest? Gosh I don't even know what a normal heart beat should sound like anymore.

At least those lectures for the past weeks managed to motivate me to actually exercise more regularly and try to avoid char kuay teow...
