I am a week down in my second to last didactic semester of PA school. What's new this semester?

We are taking radiology, which means that soon I'll have a good idea on how to read CT scans, MRIs, xrays, ultrasounds, and so forth. Even though I already have a good jump on CT scans. See this one?

The big light gray thing on your the left can only be the biggest organ in your body (the liver). Your gall bladder is the wedge shaped darker gray area sitting in the top part of the liver. That big black circle represents air, and they call that the gastric air bubble (it's in your stomach). White means bone, so the thing in the bottom center is your spine, with the rib cage branching out from it. The circles next to your spine are the kidneys.

Notice how the kidneys, liver, and gall bladder have really sharp and defined margins? Now look to the right of the liver and underneath the air bubble. See how there are a bunch of different shades of gray, and things aren't really clear? That represents inflammation, and that organ below the gastric air bubble is your pancreas. Inflammation of the pancreas = pancreatitis.

We are still taking Clin Med, but this semester we are studying cardiology, ophthalmology, urology (genitourinary system), rheumatology (joint diseases), oncology (cancer), neurology, and nephrology (kidneys). We've learned how to read EKGs this week. I actually know what's going on with this one:

We're still taking pathology and pharmacology. This semester we continue the second part of community service, but we actually have to do community service in the middle of the crazy semester. I also have to give my genetics presentation this semester too.

It should be a good semester but it is actually really crazy starting the week after next. It's gonna be 11 looong weeks of exams.
