What a day..

Yesterday ,went to see the dermatologist but i doubted him as he said i m having scabies! I knew it when he prescribed me benzyl benzoat.
He said the time of the itchy spots appear and the place i m staying has high chances of getting scabies.
But scabies skin burrows will have 2 punture holes. one for entrance and one for the female bug to come out after laying eggs. I ve been there n seen it. I m sure that the itchy spots hyperpigmented arent any like scabies bites.

I have these spots every year in winter n they subside when summer came. These spots werent disturbing me but i just dislike the pigmentation and sometimes itchiness.Then headed to Palenteology department near the Konkova metro. But we were 10 mins late so the counter was closed...
Anyway, today we saw patients with infectious endocarditis. In their history its about the same. Either they had valve replacement surgery done and then contracted the disease or drug addicts who inject themselves frequently. Addicts will have concurent diseases like HEp B and C and not to forget pneumonia and glomerulonephritis. The bacs we should be having a war with are Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Vegetations grow on the valve and the patient have high 38-40 for a month or more. The teacher has her own style and we dont really like her anyway, she has bad attitude and sarcasm. I hope i can get through this cycle with ease..5 more weeks to go..
