    What is it like to witness death for the first time?

    Watched 11 autopsies in the past few years as part of an elective programme in university. I was coping fine for the first 7 but got PTSD after the 8th. She felt from height accidentally and her tragic death triggered some of my deap-seated emotions, together with other stressors during that...

    Medical Any psychologists here? Worried about my mother

    I think you should take your mother to see a doctor for assessment coz there are a number of reasons for these behaviours. The doctor will take a more thorough history, do physical exams and appropriate investigations before s/he can make a correct diagnosis and help your mother. Take care Jack

    Bathroom Library: National Geographic, Hotrod Mag, Campground Guide & Comics

    For me, studying in a washroom can be highly effective. Especially when I need to memorize the terribly long names of micro-organisms and drugs. Don't you think so? :-p When you're studying Vibrio Cholera, think of rice water stool. When you have diarrhoea, you can think of the possible...

    Why Do Lymphocytes Have Varying Numbers of Nuclear Lobes?

    Lymphocytes do not have nuclear lobes. They only have one dense nucleus. I think you mean some granulocytes like neutrophils. They have segmented nucleus. The more lobes a neutrophil's nucleus contains, the "older" it is. In other words, age of neutrophils are related to segments of their...

    What will you be studying this semester?

    Finally, I've decided to give up physics and maths, which have been some of my favorite subjects, to study medicine (MBBS). I don't have the right to choose what to study in the coming 5 years because I have to study everything in the syllabus. :eek: Year 1 first sem - introductory to...

    TOEFL English Preparation Website

    My friends prepared TOEFL by doing lots of sample tests or past test papers. There should be lots of resources in libraries. I think TOEFL score is needed if you want to study in the UK as well, not only in USA. TOEFL isn't a tough exam if you have good English foundation. Good luck.

    What is the Solution to This Inequality Problem?

    But the question asks us to "simplify" the expression, not to solve the inequality. So I think the answer should be \frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{4}{x} + 3 > 0 or ( \frac{1}{x} - 3)( \frac{1}{x} - 1) > 0

    Your Fingernails vs Continental Drift

    I know a member in this forum is female but pretend to be male. (I have asked her permission before saying this, and she won't blame me as long as I don't tell you her username). :eek: Don't try to PM and tempt me into saying who she is! :devil:

    Help Improve Guitar Skills: Tips from Experienced Players

    I downloaded Bach's Tocata and Sweet Child O'mine. Both of them contain notes with fret numbers larger than 13, which I think is difficult to play. Perhaps it's because the design of the guitar isn't very good? I started teaching myself guitar by reading books and browsing websites. This is a...

    Help Improve Guitar Skills: Tips from Experienced Players

    I've been teaching myself guitar for about 2 months and I get addicted to it already. :wink: Now I can play simple songs, like the first half of Romance de a'mour. I can memorize the fingerings of several chords, but I find practising how to play chords is pretty boring. So I prefer practising...
