have been reading and researching alot on medically related stuff these two weeks. from policies to systems to study of disease.
feel like i am back being a student. sometimes, i dare not walk too fast, just in case the things i study/read may fall out... -_-"
anyway, i think neonate is the cutest new word i learnt these two weeks.
its actually from the latin word neonatus which refers to an infant less than a month old. =)
say after me... N E O N A T E S.
cute name for cute things. i like!
so in love with this word. hahaha
so actually, do you know that newborn is an infant who is hours, days or few weeks old? the medical people must have been laughing thier heads off when i say, i have a 7 months old newborn daughter. lol.. the right word, i found out should be infant. hehehe.. and when my little neonate learns to walk, she will be upgraded to toddler! which i think is pretty soon because she can now already pull herself up from sitting position and also able to take steps around her playpen while holding on to the sides.
the word which i thinks looks the least cute is otorhinolaryngology, which means head & neck surgery.. =/ and i keep forgeting that renal means kidney. i keep thinking of eyes when i see that. lol....
will be "going upstairs" next wednesday. hopefully i am prepared.
