Clinicals Week 2
Am getting used to officewear
and to wearing Sean's oversized shoes
which make me look tallernote to self: buy fitting shoeswaking up early is still as painful
and they just killed our weekly 12pm start with long case presentations at 9am
gah
and today we learnt yet another ailment in the wonderful world of Medicine
Pilonidal Cystsa painful disease of the ass-crack, more formerly known as the natal cleft
apparently caused by hair (from the head) falling down the back
and getting stuck in the natal cleft
and then as a consequence of buttock cheeks rubbing against one another
(the hair) burrows into the skin causing the formation of a pus-filled cyst
didn't know hair could do that
