i was watching house tonight (finding judas) and the diagnosis was erythropoietic protoporphyria. which i totally know about thanks to hematology! (she didnt ask about that on the exam though... weird)
i love learning. :)
oh! and apparently the pancreaus in our male cadaver is missing. either one of the TAs accidently cut it out thinking it wasn't an organ or he had it removed? i figure we should tell the students he had it removed so that we don't look bad. haha.
I'm not sure who was working on the male that would have done that. Natalie has been doing this longer than i have, so i know it wasn't her. weird.

are there a lot of things in our bodies that could be removed and thrown away because they don't look like organs?
Umm... not actual organs. Maybe glands or blood vessles or nerves. Usually the organs are large enough to see.
oh, and apparently the pancreas was there... i guess they found it on Monday. i have no idea what happened.
it's just weird. "i lost a pancreas."
yup. i misplace mine at least twice a day.
now, if we were talking about my brains. . . i could accurately use that statement.
