830-1000 - Pharmacology - Antithrombolytics. The prof showed up at 9 and finished before 930. There was only me and one other student, which is good because I thought I was going to be the only one there. Also, the lecture sucked because he spent most of it talking about how endothelial dysfunction leads to atherosclerosis, which we’ve been taught to death. Then he spent about 30 seconds...

1030-1245 - Clinical Biochemistry - First lecturer talked about … diagnostics in hematology. Next lecturer covered diagnostics in respiratory diseases.

There was four of us that were actually...

Grr!
For the last two weeks, my IM doc claimed to have sinusitis and was out of work. But when my partner and I went to our scheduled meeting last week, he was apparently doing a procedure (angio, PCI, or who knows what). He cancelled with his other group claiming he was sick. That right there told me that something was off.
This week, I was supposed to come in Tuesday for only an hour. But my partner...
