Patho lecture is the order of the day! Today was renal and urologic disorders. This is another pretty fascinating area of study. The kidney system is amazing. It filters so much through our bodies and has a great capacity for this, but some disease processes cause a minor decrease in function and can then overwhelm them very easily. Once again, this can throw off the entire body system: respiratory, cardiac, neurologic, etc.
Then, because we finished somewhat early, our professor started us on the respiratory system (because there is a LOT on respiratory disorders).
That was it for the day, which was a nice change of pace, although there was homework and studying to follow the lecture. It's good to have the afternoon off, though, to get it all done!
AND -- we are almost at midterm already!! That means I've completed nearly half of an entire semester (something like 7.5 weeks) in about 4. Wow.... That's almost insane.
