The first time I auscultated apical heartbeat on the right side, it was a case of dextrocardia complicated in the Paediatric Cardiac Care Unit of red brick hospital in Abou Rish. I was a noob medical student then (now even noober) and was elated. Dextrocardia bro, you don't come across that everyday.
Last Wednesday the police attacked the peaceful anti-coup demonstration in our faculty with liberal shots of tear gas canisters and shotgun. They came with their team of gangsters who attacked with bricks and glasses.
The day after, security was (every person passing through the gate has to brandish his student ID as proof of studying here. The downside of this checkpoint is that I can no longer freely enter whichever gate I want.
But the upside is that whenever I pass the guard flashing my ID, he'll cock his head respectfully in a "tafaddholi" and I feel acknowledged and cool.
Dude, I'm a Kasr el-Ainy Medical Faculty student. Not just some medical student, but a Kasr el-Ainy's. I study under THE Dr. Hussein Khairy.
