at least i can form sentences.Originally posted by av98m:ahh..
writing to my thai penpal helps me improve forming sentences -
Wow ok.... thanks!Originally posted by Rhonda:In layman's terms, There is a spinal disc compression on the Cervical 6-7 disc that affected the C7 nerve root. This injury is chronic, ie. developed over time. Since the C7 is affected, most likely, this poor man might be experiencing radiating pain up and down both legs, as well as lower back pain. Unable to ascertain the severity and frequency of pain from the info given.
I'm doing a term paper on the effects of G-forces on the C-spines of fighter pilots for my aeronautical engineering self-study module. Basically it's an 'own-time, own-target' module with absolutely no lessons at all and little (if any) support from the professors involved.
Just gotta research and do two term papers by the 31st of March.

ermmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Originally posted by Rhonda:kopi, you've got a thai girlfriend now?
let me go back on wednesday to confirm -
Okies, the laundry was done, and it rained last night, so an earlier batch of laundry has to be rinsed again and I've put all of them up to dry now. Its going to be sunny hot in the day.
I am logging off to go riding and out of the hair of the secretary and my stepmother.
Maybe go nua at Swensons again and read. they have the lovely Rum & Raisin Icecream that cost only 39baht a scoop. thats like only $2/- a scoop.
Its kinda difficult to get a english magazine in Thailand cos they are all imports from australia & UK and freaking expensive.
the local english magazine is not really english at all, just a few phrase words in english!
See you folks tonight when I come back to surf wikepedia again. -
hmmz, the disc got slight displaced/protruded and the C7 nerve kena depressed by the protusion.Originally posted by fudgester:I'm doing research on the effect of high G-forces on the C-spine of fighter pilots.
Can someone explain to me what the heck is the meaning of:
'There was a small left paracentric protrusion of the C6-7 disc that slightly indented the thecal sac and abutted the C7 nerve root; this protrusion appeared chronic in nature. There was mild osseous foraminal narrowing bilaterally at this level.'
I know that C6 and C7 are sections of the C-spine.... the rest is all Greek to me.
protrusion appears to be long term in nature.
no idea about last sentence -
i prob not gog... tis morn no seat on mrt... stand all the way to city hall, my back still hurting nowOriginally posted by av98m:anyway, looking at the pilot rate, maybe none of us will end up there tonight after all

aeronautical engineering is bull
it'll be useful only when designing a plane.
everything else at work is just common sense and understanding the particular aircraft's system -
oh dear.Originally posted by tare:i prob not gog... tis morn no seat on mrt... stand all the way to city hall, my back still hurting now
is it just my imagination or is the mrt getting increasingly crowded? I was only able to board the 3rd train that came today -

Glad to help! You're lucky because I've been working in Neurosurgery for years now. In my current ward, it's quite boring cause all I see are spinal cases.
Good luck with your papers! -
not as crowded as japan.Originally posted by av98m:oh dear.
is it just my imagination or is the mrt getting increasingly crowded? I was only able to board the 3rd train that came today
but i prefer taking the MRT than a cab in bangkok.
- not as crowded
- quiet (e.g. no ah bengs talking loudly)
- seeing people give up their seats automatically
- more pretty girls -
wondering oso....
more pple taking bus cos of the hike in price for cabbies..
strangely i have seen many emplty cabs lately despite of the peak period at my place...last time i have to fight for cabs to get to work...
instead of raising fare, why did the cab companies assist by lowering the rental of the cars... -
in singapore. nothing goes down

Gee, that's awful!!
Melbourne is trying to solve its peak hour traffic problems on the public transport system by encouraging staggered working hours. So now, employees from participating organisations can choose to start work at 0700 / 0800/ 0900/ 1000hrs.
Some official was saying that this will only shift the problem to the non-peak hour travel times, so they'll probably have to meet the change in demand with increased schedules during what were once considered "off-peak hours", otherwise, the plan won't work.
I'm just mighty glad I don't have to rely on public transport to get to work! -
Got!! Quality of life, and notes in the wallet!Originally posted by kopiosatu:in singapore. nothing goes down -
Morning folks!

its been ever more crowded since at elast 2 years ago......Originally posted by av98m:oh dear.
is it just my imagination or is the mrt getting increasingly crowded? I was only able to board the 3rd train that came today
actually now i take bus to work although takign mrt means that i would be able to leave home 10 mins later. reason beign the mrt is just too crowded, at least i can get a seat in the bus and sleep so that the time is not completely wasted.
the only other advantage to the mrt is that get to see pretty girls. -
wah 10.40 only???
make phonecall at 1200
start journey to JB at 1230

and the chinese paper had an article on taxi drivers putting signs on their window saying that they will waive the new surcharge or something......saw the picture, and the taxi companies coming out to say that it is illegal for taxi drivers to do that

no lah depends on where you go.Originally posted by kopiosatu:now if u drive to work in singapore, u have to leave earlier than when u have to go public -

Hellooo, Pinky!! I have to go to work now. TTYL! -

the idea of having a centralised system for the taxi maintainence etc was good. but the companies are really screwing the taxi drivers more and more. and they can still claim the returns of the drivers have increased.........Originally posted by av98m:I also saw a queue of taxis....during peak hour!!
