Oh Anatomy...I don't know how I feel about thee.

Anatomy…where do I start. Well, the first thing is DO not get behind, regardless of wildfire or any other natural disaster. When I should have been getting a jump start on the muscles of the back, I was cutting trees in Gold Hill. We have our first anatomy exam on Monday; it will cover the back, skin, and much more. The past two weeks we have been dissecting our cadavers and trying to uncover the secrets held inside. We are fortunate that there are generous people in this state who have donated themselves to science so that as medical students, we can gain first-hand knowledge of the body and the differences that run rampant through our lab. The body we have the privilege of working with has small, frail muscles. In order to be successful our group will have to learn patience and gentleness. After Monday, we will start to dissect the upper limb. As we continue, we enter a season where there will be exams each Monday. Get ready to buckle down!
