Welcome Dear Student

This blog was designed for the Biomedical Technology students at the Durban University of Technology, in Durban, South Africa. It consists of short notes on aspects that I feel that my students grapple with, and aims to provide a better explanation than that they would receive in lectures. It is also a very personal blog, where I feel comfortable 'talking' to my students.

Something to think about

If you meet a very anxious mom of a young child at the local clinic and, on asking as what the medical problem of her child is, you get told: "She has a temperature", describe clearly what is wrong in that statement.

    well obviously the child has a tempreture - if she didn't she would be dead. what the mom means is that the child has an abnormally tempeture( possible fever)
