Radiology for the Lazy?

Radiology is one of those rare branches you take up, if your rank in the PG Entrance exam is in the top 10. It is a branch that boasts of seats filling up before you manage to complete 'Radio' out of the whole word.
Right now, when I write this entry, I only do so out of pure exasperation. I am hunting down the net for a site that will help ease my tension related to ENT X-Rays; a site out of my dreams which will appear in front of my eyes like Fairy Godmother did before Cinderella (I hope I'm right....medicine really pushes fairytales out of your mind) and say to me, "Here I am...and I shall take care of you, my dear." - basically a site that tells me the basics of all those stupid views listed in that horrid chapter "Radiology in ENT", in Dhingra.
Considering that I am writing this entry, obviously, I haven't been able to find any such Godmother site. It has just been a picture here and a picture there. The worst feeling of this desperation erupts when there's a Radiology site and they have no pictures!! Just paragraphs of information, information, information!
For dumbos (in interpreting xrays and stuff) like me, I need pictures. Pictures that describe every single detail of what is to be seen. It is a well-known phenomenon in our life, as students of medicine, that teachers take patients' xrays out of our hands and say, " Know what is normal first, then we'll discuss the abnormality here."
I am moving away from my topic of interest here. Yes, what I was saying is, Radiology is taken by the intelligent, because they manage to get those top-10 ranks. And they sure must be a little lazy, because life in Radiology is quite good...no emergencies, no lives to save by on-the-spot-decisions, no 2 am calls...and a decent pay...
Why in the world can they not make sites to help people like me then?? We literally rub our noses to those sheets of plastic throughout our lives as students, to identify those weird structures shown. It would really make life a little more interesting and fun, if I knew there was a site that was helping me do that.
It is a pain in the ass, these x-rays. You either know or you don't know. There isn't any real brain involved. But, god, to reach the stage where there is no brain involved, you need to use your brain to find a path.
Help!!! Hope I find a site. It'll give me a good night sleep, knowing at least I can identify the normal structures.   

Remember Me??

Yes, it has been a while...a long long 'while'..and no matter how long a post I write, it just won't make up for the time I haven't written anything.
But, today, I got a very special request from a friend of mine. She is my greatest friend in college, and we somehow end up doing the same kind of things. We also like the same kind of things too. She told me yesterday that she was going to start a blog, and read up a few entries from here, today. She messaged me, " Continue writing. Please :-)''
I felt so NICE. Its just the word to describe the feeling. It isn't I-want-to-dance joy, and definitely not i-want-to-scream-to-the-world happiness. Its that calm positive feeling you get when somebody pats you on your shoulder and says, "Good work"...when you look at that beautiful morning and know you're happy to be alive...when that dark starry sky tells you time can stop and you can stare at it :-)
There you go, now i so feel like writing. So many things that I want to write about- college, PSM (it will always have that very 'special place in my life :-p), books I've read, thoughts that keep haunting me in between my study time, friends, life events...so much!!
But, I don't have that kind of time, and I still want to honour my friend's request, so I'll just say a big thank you to 2011.

Dear 2011,
Yes, you haven't been an easy year. As is always the case, you haven't been an easy ride full of smiles. There have been tears- of joy, of sadness, of anger, of hatred. But, you have made me think for myself and given me a treasure-trove of experiences that make me the person that I am today. And, yes, I am a better person than I was a year back.  
Professionally, I did a lot things this year, and I am so proud of having done each and every one of them. They gave me a sense of achievement and a self-confidence in my abilities. I know I haven't been able to match up to my expectations when it came down to studying from the exam point of view. But, I do know that I have enjoyed learning new things this year, and that will always be there for me, wherever and whenever  I need it.
Personally, I still feel like the same person. I think I have grown a little more mature, but I will never ever let the kid in me go away. It is nice when you know that you have this little kid to fall back on, to give you tiny microscopic moments of happiness :-) I think I have grown to control my temper a little. I may still be short-tempered, but the temper doesn't reach the peak it used to. And I have been able to place excellent arguments for my temper, so that means my minds works great even when I'm angry (which is an achievement :-P).
There are times when you have been very harsh, 2011. Times when I didn't know why things were happening the way they were. Times when I wondered what had suddenly gone wrong in the planetary system that I was facing such situations. But, you pulled me out of them. I stand here today, with my back to them. Memories live, but, hey, you did a pretty good job of pulling me out.
Thank you 2011. For being a normal year. For giving me love and hatred...for giving me joy and unhappiness..for making me feel special and small...for giving me success and failure...most importantly, for bringing me closer to some very special people in my life. I don't know what I'll do without you guys...you guys are my solid rock - this is to my whole family and all my friends..love you guys :-)
You are a dear year to me. I have learnt to appreciate every single moment in my life. And I shall always look back at you and hope that every time you shall say to me, "REMEMBER ME??"

Love,
Jill

Wow, that sounds like a thank-you speech you get to hear at a life-time achievement award ceremony!! :-P Unlike you, my dear Jill :-)
Any way, this post is obviously dedicated to my friend and her kind request. There you go, girl. You better read this :-)
p.s. It is so nice to feel the desire to write again!! I was starting to feel so lost. After all, words are my strength. Without them, life is meaningless. And its good to be back!! :-)
