Christmas Calendar (4) - A "very good" exam and a fractured bone in one day
Today started off extremely nicely since I passed my exam in ORL with "very good".
However, things started to change a bit after that...
Last week I fell up (yes, not down..) the stairs in my flat here, I landed on my right side which ended up terribly bruised.
Somehow I must've broken my left radial bone while doing so, but it wasn't until a few days later that it started to really hurt.
So I went to the orthopaedic department of the hospital after my exam where the doctor told me that my arm would most likely be distorted, but not broken, but he wanted to do an X-ray nevertheless to make sure.
Unfortunately, he had some bad news for me: I have to wear a cast on my left arm (remember, I'm left-handed... and I've also got some written exams coming up :( ) for the next four (!) weeks.
Do you remember those photos we took during our surgery class a couple of weeks back when we practised doing casts?
Well, this is what the real one looks like...
