Y3S1 Mid-Semester Break: UoO Campus!

It's Easter Break!!
(& it wasn't just chocolate eggs that were breaking!)

I spent the vast majority of the break catching up on Neuro modules and notes for pathology! Over the Easter weekend there was a Chinese sport tournament and so I volunteered my time to medic for them. I saw a few interesting injuries including a fractured distal radius, broken nose, fractured 1st metacarpal, fractured fibula, high ankle sprain, inversion ankle sprain and a few tired muscles. "If there are 4000 physios in NZ, there'll be 4000 different ways to strap an ankle". I also got to observe a soft-cast being made and placed on a wrist and a device with a hot tip, burn a small hole in a toenail to relieve the blister beneath. In other sport medicing news, Dunedin Tech Football (soccer) won their first match (pre-season) of the year 4-0 - a good start for them. At the other end of the holidays, we had another broken fibula and a guy who had a intravenous haematoma i.e. his varicose vein had burst and blood was bleeding out of the vein into the surrounding tissues!! I'm keeping this week's blog simple. I thought you would be happy to see something that wasn't physio related and so I have compiled a few images of other departments and buildings from around our Dunedin University of Otago campus!


Here's a brief tour of University of Otago Campus!
... These are buildings that we physio students don't see too much of!
... The best time to photograph the university is when there aren't any students about!!
... You'll see some more classic shots of the university upon graduation in 3.5 semesters time - I'm trying not to repeat any images/scenes (the best are yet to come).
...We are lucky to have a beautiful campus!
