Feedbacks
Ultrasound imaging was the course where I gained the most knowledge this time. Firstly, I understood the function of coupling gel, and secondly, I learned that ultrasound waves cannot penetrate solids, resulting in a transparent color effect. In contrast, ultrasound waves can penetrate liquids, reflecting as black. I also learned about the applications of different probes and their varying frequencies. Before delving into ultrasound imaging, I wondered how doctors could interpret medical images. Those images seemed like black-and-white artistic paintings so that I couldn't discern any diseases from them. During this experience, perhaps because I volunteered as a model for the teacher, he explained ultrasound imaging to students while performing the ultrasound on me, which left a deep impression on me regarding medical imaging. I also marveled at the advancement of technology today.—— Ulink College - Student Feng
- The suturing section taught me the techniques and methods of suturing. I completed the suturing with the doctor's help and achieved the first-place result. Suturing is not only a technical skill but also a test of patience and composure. I hope this suturing experience will plant the seeds of a surgeon in my heart, allowing me to possess the suturing skills and apply the mindset cultivated during suturing to our daily lives, laying the foundation for my medical journey.
