Practice in the Hot Rooms.

I went to Irvine to visit and ended up doing more than I thought I was going to. Anyways, I should have brought the camera, so instead I took advantage of Carl's MacBook and this is what really happened during practice:


Did you know veterenary grad schools (4 years) costs an average $50,000 a year? Gdamn. Congrats and Goodluck Kim.
Random fact since talking about Kim reminded me of this: If a person is high in Potassium, causing dangerous cardiac dysrhythmias, you can inject insulin and glucose to lower the potassium level. haha.

Another fact of the day: Cirrhosis
  • Cirrhosis is a chronic progressive disease of the liver characterized by degeneration and destruction of the liver parenchymal cells. It is the fourth leading cause of death in persons between 35-54 years of age. One type is Alcoholic Cirrhosis, also called portal or nutritional cirrhosis. The first change in the liver from excessive alcohol intake is an accumulation of fat in the liver cells. Uncomplicated fatty changes in the liver are potentially reversible if the person stops drinking alcohol.
  • In cirrhosis, the liver cells attempt to regenerate following cell damage and necrosis, but the regenerative process is disorganized, resulting in abnormal blood vessel and bile duct structure. Eventually the irregular, disorganized regeneration, poor cellular nutrition, and hypoxia caused by inadequate blood flow and scar tissue result in decreased liver function.
  • Early manifestations include anorexia, dyspepsia [heartburn], flatulence, nausea and vomiting, and change in bowel habits. In addition, fever, lassitude, abdominal pain, slight weight loss, and elargeent of the liver and spleen may occur.

    ...So, watch the alcohol kids. Goodnight.
