I see dead people...(and pay 25K a year to do it)

Aug 14, 2008 22:10

So today was my first day of anatomy lab. I'll be honest, i was a little freaked out about it. I mean, I've seen a dead body, what? Two times in my life? Both times the bodies were fully clothed and made up to look presentable (funerals). So today was a bit of a wild card...I'd already been feeling nausiated (thanks KK) from being in so much ( Read more... )

I think whatever the meal you eat after your first anatomy lab will ALWAYS remind you of the body in some way. Mine was swedish meatballs... I think it says something that I still remember that after seven years.

yes well. The "splash back" (which was added just now to the entry via edit) was ESPECIALLY appealing :(

But I didn't faint, and I didn't get sick. So I'm pretty excited about that.

I can't read posts like these while eating breakfast. *gag*

Hey, stop breaking yourself! We'd like to keep you in once piece. :P

The ladies with painted nails really got to me too. Some how, that was the one thing that really made those people real to me. Though my cadaver, Ace, had a pretty cool tattoo. He was a really cool guy to work with.

Oh, and the cadaver juice? Welcome to the club. :-P I dropped my glasses in the body on at least one occasion that i can recall. :-P Not fun. Then again, the large majority of the dissecting in our group fell to me, so I can recall many days spent with my head/arms quite a bit further into our guy's abdominal/pelvic cavity than I'd have ever predicted.

And I must be the exception - my friends and I were always starving (during and) after anatomy lab. Only exception is the week I went grocery shopping after dissecting the thorax - I saw ribs in the meat case and felt a bit ill.
