"Histology For Retards"


As promised a few days ago, my histology notes are now available for download !

The first version of those notes was a small 15-page booklet, which I prepared during the last few days before my MDI progress test. It had no drawings and the text was limited to the bare essentials. The name, 'Histology for Retards', originated from a private joke and was meant to emphasize the over-simplified nature of the text.

One year later, while preparing for my MDII final exam, I decided to use that little booklet for revision, but it quickly became evident that it simply wasn't enough. Loads of information was missing, and the plain text didn't really make sense without images. So I borrowed some extra sets of notes and started making additions and corrections to the little booklet. The result was a -comparatively- massive 55-page 'second edition' , which I used to prepare for my exams and which I'm now sharing with you.

I hope you find it useful, and I'm looking forward to receiving your feedback !

ECG Tools


If you're like me, you probably think that the 'ECG Made Easy' book doesn't make things all too easy...

Thankfully, after a bit of googling I discovered that there are some nice people at a company called SkillStat, who have created an interesting series of flash-based applications that make things a bit easier :-D
