I'm on Head and Neck anatomy right now. It is all we have left to do, but I feel like I just started because it is so complicated! This block is 6 weeks long, but it is going at double-triple the rate of the whole fall semester.
Thank goodness for Visiblebody.com
That site is crazy. I LOVE IT.
Immunology has always had a special place in my heart. It was one of the big reasons why I am so in awe of the human body. I get the feeling military physicians might find immunology very familiar, because that is all it is. In a nutshell, our body is in an epic battle for survival. The high tech tools, strategies, and dirty tricks we use is mind blowing.
Your blood is strewn with mines, your skin is crawling with spies, sentries, and snipers. The calvary gets called in, mobile command centers migrate to field locations, and oh dear god the complex signaling involved is CRAZY! Things get cleaved, imploded, and exploded. Things gang up on each other, others commit suicide. Sometimes your body wins, lots of times it loses. Badly. Mothers will try to kill their babies, and men destroy their own sperm.
And I am less than half way through the course. And after that...there are two blocks of Infectious Disease. I can't wait!
Three astonished faces … followed by grins.
