Good Night, It’s Time To End The Show

After a lot of consideration, I’ve decided to pull the plug on the site. Sadly, I just don’t have the time to update it anymore. Here’s hoping that whatever I have is sufficient to get you through your exams and survive the harsh several years of the Russian education system that is awaiting you.

It has been a great few years and I definitely enjoyed doing it but there are other aspects of my life that I must focus on now. As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end.”

Heart Sounds MP3

How good are you at distinguishing heart sounds? Have you even any idea what I’m talking about? This collection of MP3s is very useful for second and third year students, great exposure for first years and an excellent refreshers’ course for the rest.

Grab it here.

Clinical Skills Videos

Admittedly, clinical skills of Russian grads are not entirely on par with medical students around the world. It’s time we did something about it and brushed up on the skills that we need to use everyday.

Here are a few videos on clinical examination, divided into systems. Then following that, a few videos on taking blood, introducing an IV cannula and other clinical procedures.

Books and DivShare

Hi guys,

Here are some rantings of DivShare again. Yes. My love-hate relationship with DivShare. Anyways, short story is: I used my up 10GB download quota for February so all of my links are dead until 25th of Feb. Yep.

The good news is I have more books to share but the links will be dead until my download refreshes. I’m thinking of going Pro on DivShare to revive my links again but DivShare only accepts eCheques from Paypal so whoopee. eCheques take around a week to clear and by then it will be almost half the month gone. Pretty soon after that, my download quota should have refreshed. What’s the point?
