Not for the faint of heart....

Ok, well I think my limits have been reached in lab. I actually had to run out of lab today b/c of the unbelieveable nausea the overcame me. It started out ok, but it proved more than I could handle. I did the dissection of the dorsal surface of the penis...greusome..disturbing, but not TOO bad....but then we had to do the hemisection. *yech* NO ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY for ABI

*Please do not keep reading if you find these things disgusting*

We were given hack saws....and we had to do a mid-thigh bilateral amputation, followed by a transverse amputation above the pelvis, and finally a midline cut across the pubis. I made it through most of the lab....almost lost my cookies though when we had to lift up the section we cut out...belly button to mid thigh...off the table into an upright position to saw it in half....ugh.....I'm not going to survive this exam. i have 3 more anatomy lab sessions in the next 2 days.....I'm not sure I can stomach it. After this exam we're dong with anatomy til august. I'm worried I won't be able to get through head and neck in fall. If I couldn't stand a amputation....how will I stomach a decapitation? ¶ 13:51
