I'm SUCH A Nerd!

I wasn't going to post anything till after Mini 2 but I thought I'd share this with you. We've recently been studying the heart in Physiology. Questions like "exactly why and how does a heart contract?" are no longer a mystery. We studied all those little waves on an electrocardiogram (ECG) and we learned how to look at an ECG and determine (roughly) what is wrong with that person's heart. Basically, I can sort of look at an ECG and be able to tell if the conduction system in your heart is working correctly. Well, today in Physiology, we covered the different types of common arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms for you non-medical folk). One common arrhythmia is due to a block in the heart's conduction system (specifically the AV node). This is called Mobitz Type I, aka Wencheback, and it is normally a benign condition found in children or athletes. There is no specific treatment for this condition. Anyway, I'm sure I've already bored more than half of you so I won't get into the nitty gritty of it. Our professor told us to look up "Wencheback" on YouTube when we had the chance. Well, after I finished studying all these ECGs, I looked it up and it made me laugh. Maybe it'll make some of you laugh as well. If you don't think the video is funny then maybe you can laugh at the medical students that made the video. Since I've been here at Ross, I've learned a pretty harsh lesson that med school kids are not normal. Things don't bother us that should (like hacking into dead bodies!) and we laugh at incredibly and ridiculously nerdy things. Whatever.. you know I'll be jamming to this song on the way to my Mini and I'm going to ace that Mobitz Type I question! There better be a Mobitz Type I question...



PS: Is it just me or does homegirl at about 1:25 appear a little "exotic?" Here I am watching watching a dork video about heart arrhythmias and some chick appears out of nowhere like something out of "Showgirls." So, yea, this video may not be suited for work. :)
