Every End is a New Beginning!

The semester is coming to a close and the infectious disease course is wrapping up. Our first semester of clinical microbiology involved a significant amount of memorization of biochemical reactions and unique identifiers for a wide range of organisms ranging from gram positive organisms, gram negative organisms, anaerobes, fungus, mycobacteria and parasites. Infectious disease gave us the opportunity to incorporate that knowledge into real world applications. I was given my unknowns at the hospital this week. I had 6 different sites (stool, urine, blood, knee aspiration, abscess, and sputum). I was lucky enough to get about 3 organisms for every site to identify! So far I have successfully identified all of them and I am just waiting to find out the results of the confirmatory test I am running for what I suspect is C. perfringens (boxcars and double zones). I love this stuff! I was offered a position in a hospital in Chattanooga, TN where I will be a generalist, but in the future I am looking forward to specializing in micro.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog. If I get an itch in the future I may continue to post information, but for now I will be studying for my ASCP exam! Wish me luck!

  2. That's the same with the meaning of Commencement. In the new semester, you might be asked to learn new matters, and then new fun will be gained. Biology, biochemistry and chemistry require better understanding for the basic knowledge, then it will be possible to do independent researches in the future. Now I'm doing a research on the side effects of Finasteride, but everything is in the mess. Inspiration is needed.

  3. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
