To all the seniors around the world...

Congratulations! You have made it this far.

Some of you have just received your decisions, others are waiting anxiously for college decisions, and many of you are still working on your applications.

No matter which stage you are in, I wish you all the best, and I encourage you to keep on pushing on. By now, senioritis is probably kicking in -- you are not alone! Just keep pushing yourself to do your best -- you did it before and you can do it again.

The college application process is such a weird stage. At times you feel hopeful that you will get into your reach school, other times you feel like you cannot even get into a college. Surround yourselves with the right people, the people who will make you optimistic and encourage you in your endeavors. Positivity is the key, while negativity is not.

Also, I encourage you to stay off those 'Chance me' posts on Reddit or College Confidential. Reading them only makes you question your chances at getting into your dream school. They only make you lose confidence in yourself and do not benefit you at all.

Have confidence in yourself and keep on pushing on. After all, this college application will be something you will look back at in the future.

Class of 2020, where you at?!

Cesarean Section

Important notice: To those of you who read my posts faithfully, I have something to tell you. If you notice, I publish my posts every four to five days. But as school is approaching, and as my schedule gets tighter I decided that I will write my posts once a week instead of every four to five days. After this post, I will start writing on Fridays.  I'm also curious as to which type of posts you enjoy reading the most on my blog. I want to know which type of posts I should be writing more of.

Acute Subdural Hematoma Surgery

source Welcome back to my blog! For today's post, I decided to do something a little different. I want to put up a Youtube video of a brain surgery that I enjoyed watching. The patient is an 83 year old woman who fell down and injured her head.  This injury had given her acute subdural hematoma. Acute subdural hematoma (SDH), is usually caused by a head injury from a fall, an assault or a motor vehicle collision. SDH is a clot of blood that is formed between the dura mater (the brain's tough outer covering) and the brain. This blood clot is formed due to the stretching and tearing of veins on the brain's surface. These veins rupture when a head injury shakes and jolts the brain.  This surgery is done by a brain surgeon who will cut open the patient's head and remove the blood clot.  ** WARNING: Do not watch this video if you are squeamish at the sight of blood!!! ** If you are not squeamish at the sight of blood, sit back, relax and learn something n...

LEARN MORE ABOUT ME - Q&A SESSION

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome back to those who faithfully read my posts. And welcome to my blog to those who are new! Check out my other posts if you haven't yet. They're quite interesting.  T o kick off the new year, I wanted to do a Q&A post.  As I was looking through my previous blog posts, I saw that most of my posts were about medicine and college. None of them were about me! (Lol! I don't mean to sound selfish!😂) I really want my audience to know more about me. So, I hope you don't mind if I make this post a little different! ______   Here are a few common questions with my answer: Q: "What is your name?" A: My name is Kristine (with a 'K' if you didn't notice!). People tend to spell my name with a 'Ch' and its quite annoying! 😂 Q: "What grade are you in?" A: I am a sophomore in high school. Q: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" A: A doctor (duh!) That's why I made this blo...
