Just a quick little hello - I am feeling motivated right now and will be productive in just a few minutes but thought that I would share my latest....
I just got back from Anatomy Lab Demo - today we did the lungs. Group C (people with last names from P-ish through Z) dissected and then demo-ed to everyone else. I ran into a friend who was getting a really good explanation by Dr. Vigh, a crazy Hungarian doctor who is, well, crazy. It was really informative and cleared up a lot of things since our lecturer today on the lungs sucks.
I thought it was funny (not haha, but wow funny) that I stopped by 3 tables *its always best to look at more than one* and 2/3 .. patients had lung cancer. One patient had breast cancer (our body) that metastasized and she was missing most of her left lung and the second table's lungs were 1) huge (the left should be SMALLER than the right lung due to the location of the heart, and it was ENORMOUS) and 2) adhered to the thoracic cavity and mediastinal walls (the separation between the two lungs where your heart sits) because of the insane and obviously agressive lung cancer that she had. Her bronchi (where the air flows) were completely closed and filled with cancerous masses. What a way to go :( I finally went to a third table so I could see what a lung is supposed to look like - so I would know what to look for on the practical. The girl was really nice and gave me an awesome demo!
Anyway, my message for the day - don't smoke. One, its disgusting and two, no one wants their lungs adhered to their body cavity. Seriously, eww.
Colby gets home tomorrow at 5:05p. All his flights are confirmed and a transport will be there to pick him up! Can't waittttttt! I can hardly focus I am so giddy :)
Study time! Woot woot!
Here are pictures from our trip to a waterfall, Syndicate Falls (maybe) and to the Atlantic side of the island before the semester started :)
Just wanted to add some flavor and pictures of our fabulous faces.
