По запросам Принцессы и по моему обещанию... моя реакция на cadaver lab:



What can I say?!

I learned a lot!!!

That was so cool!

No one fainted!



читать дальшеOkay, when we came into the cadaver classroom...there was a body bag and a girl standing by it. (I saw her rolling it in when we were in the bathroom down the hall). Then she told us about herself...she is a second year student at medical shcool. Her chosen profession is M.D.(obviously!). Told us a little about her experience of first-time-coming-to-the-cadaver-lab. Said that at least we don't have to do any dissections on our first time, they had to. Everyone feels a little nervous, at least. And then she started to unzip the bag...shuffling could be heard...and she told us that the face is going to be covered all the time (much to my rejoicing!!!), and that this is a 70-something year old male and how it's great that people donate their bodies to science.

Oh, yeah, before that we listened to her little shpeal on the history of dissecting cadavers(grave robbery, gladiators...and all that cool stuff). Well, then she opened it finally and invited everyone to the front of the room, to step around the cadaver, so "everyone can get a front view". Yes, and our knees shouldn't be "locked". And there were 2 people fainting during her earlier presentations, both one gender. Guess male or female?! Then she asked us the main reasons people die of today in America. And that this guy died of one of them, and we're going to play "doctor" and find out the reason to his death. (Cookie guessed right then and was acutally right!)

Well, we had a little journey through the limbs(muscles, veins, arteries, nerves, bones), she asked us the names and all that...we are such a nice,smart class that she was impressed by our knowledge! Well, Thuan wanted it all to be his answers...but as Mrs.Champion said "others were answering too!" ha-ha. but he is smart, just too proud of it.

The next journey was...the insides! FUN!!! That's my FAVORITE part!! That was SO COOL to see all of the organs in reality "rather than learning it from Gray's Anatomy" as our teacher for the day put it. Yeah!

But this guy was SO SKINNY! We figured out by the lungs that he smoked a lot and for a long time. Eventually dying of the effects. Yuck! Smoking is digusting on the inside even more than on the outside!! He had lung cancer on his skin (chest --2 tumors) and on the intestine wall. that was crazy! how cancer spreads through blood to other places still being the cancer of the primary place. So the cells in the tumors that spread form lungs were lung cells.that is totally crazy!

Well, we learned other stuff, too. But I am tired of telling it all... But I gave an idea of what it was like...to explore a human body...

That was a good experience!!
