of fear in the heart and fear in the mind

hey, i learnt something cool everyday...

so clinicals was at St V's hospital for me this term and the place was uber super duper pretty.
now i understand the appeal of that place to meds.
and the clinical school sure took a subtle approach to advertising their better-than-thou cohort of students with their big-font announcents about their top Sem12 student and scholars.

sure did a heck of a job intimidating me the moment i walked into the reception and saw the announcements.

oh but the really cool thing that i learnt today was there are actually fear receptors in the heart.

people who have cardiac weakness will most likely feel a sort of foreboding or premonition or bad feeling or they will just feel terrible.
some actually feel that they are going to die.

so in a way, fear or paranoia itself is not such an unexplained thing.
it's sort of justifiable.

that's kinda ironic, don't you think?

and after knowing this, everytime you feel a sort of fear clutching at your heart, you'll wonder whether it's your heart doing turns or maybe it's really the outside influences that scares you.
