When I finish a dissection early I’m like…
Looks like I labeled the clitoris incorrectly on your slides, which should tell you why I was unpopular in college.”
— Dr. S; clearly a man’s man
I heard that Dr. S made a little joke about me during the previous lecture, and I thought it only fair to return the favor. So here’s a picture of him at last year’s Halloween party dressed as Spiderman with white tennis shoes and white tube socks. As you can see from the shot of bourbon in his left hand, he’s pretty drunk.”
— Prof. M. Don’t mess with him. Clearly.
Admission #69: Quadratus Femoris
Me: So is this the quadratus femoris?
JM: I don't think so, I think it's the gracilis.
Me: I thought the lab manual had a nice diagram to confirm this?
JM: You don't trust me?
Me: You lost the lab manual didn't you?
JM: ...yeah, I lost it.
-Me, elbows deep in fat and muscle; JM, found the lab manual tucked under the cadaver's lungs
Admission #65: The TA Games
Our TA positions are paid and super competitive. So, you know…
Admission #63: Submandibular Triangle
Prof. W: Let's pretend this cadaver is a patient with a gunshot wound that shatters the mandible. He comes in with his left side exposed like this. What do you do?
Prof A: I ask him if he was sure it was a gunshot wound and not a pack of med students with scalpels that did this to him.
-Prof W, one of my idols; Prof. A, loves second order questions
I’m going to hug you like the stylohyoid hugs the posterior belly of the digastric.”
— Me to a slightly stressed out K. She declined politely.
Admission #44: Metabolism and Gross Anatomy
AW: I bought too many donuts for my gross anatomy dissection team. Who wants them?
Me and my team:
Suffice to say, my group and I got a lot of stares for our screams.
Gif use inspired by wayfaringmd :)
Why aren’t there more zombie jokes right now?”
— A, down in gross lab as we removed the brain from the skull
Admission #10: Gross Anatomy
I definitely just looked at a bunch of pictures of Richard Armitage and identified anatomical parts like the ASIS, pubic symphisis, and where the inguinal ligament are.
I was looking at the pictures for the gross anatomy final…of course. The man has a very well-defined ASIS.
It just so happens that, you know, I am a major fangirl.
