Spirometry

Spirometry
Spi*rom”e*try\, n. The act or process of measuring the chest capacity by means of a spirometer.

There, that saves me the trouble of explaining the whole spirometry thing.

I had a not-so-comfortable experience at the general practitioner regarding spirometry due to weird chest pressures, especially when I was lying in bed making it (seemingly) hard to breathe. So yeah, this practical kind of brought those memories back.

As I had expected, my values were below the average and I’m not sure if this has something to do with my previous experience. I guess I will find out once we’re done with the report. I did the practical with my new great college group 34. We also had a drink and a good talk after the practical at the student restaurant of which I’ve only taken one picture. The other pictures are all from the spirometry practical.

Oh, and I just got message that I passed my second test! Yay me! :mrgreen:

Yeah, I didn’t bring the Canon camera unfortunately. They were made with my iPhone.
