Its fun

Before KKD, I wasn't really like to learn about the ear, the larynge, the pharynge, the nose... all of them! Boring! But now it is different in KKD. I kinda like it though. weird huh? lol
I was watching Jai examining Mia. He was performing anterior rhinoscopy (inspection of the anterior portion of nasal cavity with or without the aid of nasal speculum) and this allows for visualization of the septum, the choncae... the anterior part of the nose! Its all clear, mam!
Dr Kur is one of the instructor and he is an ENT specialist. Baik hati ni and lembut orangnya.
Examining the larynge by doing indirect laryngoscopy. A small circular mirror on a long thin handle is inserted into patient's mouth and we can see on the mirror.... there.. that crescent shaped thing on the mirror is called Epiglottis. Below it... is the plica vocalis (vocal folds). So, if you want to see it... you just ask the patient to say 'eeeee' while performing this examination. Seriously I enjoy learning all of these thing.... Its fun. really... tak tipu!
