The Joy Of Being A Medical Student

Thursday, November 3, 2011
So I was up around 5am today...decided to shuffle my way into the bathroom before trying to get back to bed. I was pretty sleepy so when I looked in the mirror I was a little confused...but was it me or was my left eye droopy?!?! It looked like I was caught in a weird half wink!

And of course, my first thought was...HOLY CRAP DID I HAVE A STROKE? OR DO I HAVE MYASTHENIA? Hahaha, I know that was jumping to conclusions but I've been having a bad week so anything is possible. Well anyway, so I did a cranial nerves exam on myself which checked out okay.

Well, I go online and see my classmate on gchat and he gets scared I might have Horner's syndrome! I was like...I MIGHT HAVE LUNG CANCER?!?! Hahaha, so I go and nope...no miosis or anhydrosis here. Phew!

Then I looked closer, though it wasn't itchy it was slightly pink and swollen. Then I noticed I had 8 new mosquito/spider bites on my arms and legs. Gawd, I think something bit my eye.

Just what I need, something to make me look weird. Even my co-workers kept squinting at my "new face." lol.

UPDATE: What my boss said..."maybe a bug peed in your eye." -_-
UPDATE #2: Now my co-worker says, "yea, still looks weird." LOL.
