Taliban personified

I hate Tuberculosis, really really hate it!! Not only because Mycobacterium creates a havoc in the human organism...but coz Prof. Yayushev created the same havoc in our MINDS.
We were going to be his last group this semester and so we were able to get a feedback from the previous 3 batches about what we are going to face!! ..n well, they actually Frightened us..
Yeah..they did manage to do that, very well indeed!



Its a 22 day long rotation minus 2 weekends. And in this long cycle, all he deals with is LUNGS..poor lungs... I get the idea of a Phthysiopulmonologist teaching us lungs but for 22 DAYS, isn't that too much??
And again, his class starts from 8:45 till 12:30 with 2 long breaks in between (so basically waste of time...we spoke about all the sensible and non-sensible things during those sacred TB-free mins)

I came to know his mantra- REPETITION. He constantly loved repeating the same things, the same words, the same tests...lol...MORBIDITY was his fav. answer to any kind of a general question regarding TB
For instance: Why don't we diagnose TB but instead go for Pneumonia as a primary diagnosis?
Why is TST positive in Developing countries?
Even if culture negative, and no response to Antibiotics, why do we still continue
with anti-TB Chemotherapy?
. .... and many many more questions!
Answer to the above: MORBIDITY (...lolzzz )
within a few days with him, we could answer him :) ..and get in reply, " you are absolutely right!, absolutely right!!!"

Overall his cycle could have been of maximum week..not much..coz all he did was repeat, repeat, repeat...n repeat! the more I hated that subject, the more it seemed longer and never-ending.

That's description of X-ray.. :) :) Woah...
But hey, apart from all the boring , aweful time we had, I have to mention that he taught us X-rays just too well!!...so much so that we find TB in any damn X-ray henceforth :) :)

So concluding about him..he's intelligent and systematic, repetitive and boring, monotonic and limited, encouraging and expressive..in short explains too well, just too much! :)
Now take it as a grumble or an appreciation about this teacher in my academic career!!!


Guys who know him.... "по-чи-фо-ра-ин-ри-ко-с" !!!!
