Unbelievable reality

This morning was one of those critical moments in my preclinical years as a medical student. First of all this year Pathology is one of the bigger subjects and with that are regular autopsies. To be more precise once a week in the mornings. Just the first time was a little strange to say the least, but I recovered well seeing that this was actually part of the science I study. This morning on the second autopsy practical, everything is going normal or as normal as it gets when you are in the morgue performing autopsies.

I seem to look over my sholder, just got this feeling, to see what else was going on. The autopsy room is rather big and has the option of having 6-8 autopsies simultaneously even though that is not a common occurance, hence I look around just to be aware.

I look once and turn right back around, as the neurons were fireing trying to make some relevant picture of what I just witnessed they just seemed not to be able. So a short while later I look back in the same direction and what my mind had put together seemed to be true, even though I had initially repressed the thought.

The third time I looked I had to move closer to get a final confirmation of the situation. There in front of the pathologist and right in front of my eyes was a 25 week old fetus which never took a breath of air. This tiny little thing had been born prematurely (regular pregnancy 38-40 weeks) as a dead fetus.

Just right there in front of me I still could not believe what my eyes were seeing. I still did not hear what the cause of death was but most likely a genetic deficiency of the nervous system that was not compatible with life.

Summation of last year, done! now just one more preclinical year and then its all fun and games 

Back to Business

Back in a number of ways, actually. First of all school has started with a bang and is going to be taking most of my Oh so precious time. Other thing is that Im back to servicing this blogg to feed friends and other curios cats about nothing that really matters and occasionally something to give a damn about.

So now back to what the people want to hear and see (pics are always comming in strong)

Upcomming is nice review of a pretty exciting summer, that wore me out in the end with extensive traveling. But that goes to show you that people who travel kick ass. It takes much more to get up and go, see the world if you like. This for a couple of reasons 1. it takes effort, planning and energy to actually go on a trip. it is always nice to sit home and relax. 2. It costs money to go places and for most of us we have to work for it or sometimes just call the bank and slap some extra credit on the debit or credit.

I covered some new and old locations in USA. Most noteably NYC, Atlantic City, Virginia Beach, Orlando and Tallahassee (place where I used to live).

All places noteworthy of their own entry and some photographic pleasure.
