We started our lab in clinical anatomy today. I have a fantastic group including my friends James and Ryan, and then Alex and Melissa that make our little cadaver dissecting team awesome. Today, during the first lab, we dissected the gluteal region and hamstring of our body, now more commonly known to us as Homer, which we got the idea of from the fact that we use "Homer's all purpose" buckets from Home Depot to put the body parts we remove into. This way, when our class is done dissecting in 2 quarters, our cadaver and residual parts will be combined, and then sent away to be cremated and buried.
It was a lot less strange than I thought it would be, and I am really excited to return tomorrow and begin working more inferiorly (down lower) on Homer. Well guys, time to study up!
Cheers!

About Me
- Ana
- Spokane, Washington, United States
- I graduated from the University of Washington June 2005 with a degree in Neurobiology and a minor in Chemistry. I took the year off to volunteer my time at physical therapy clinics, apply to physical therapy school, and live in Brasil for 4 months, learning how to speak portuguese and getting to know my family better. Now that the year is up, and I've successfully been offered spots in many schools, I've chosen Eastern Washington University in Spokane. Hopefully in June of 2009 I'll be the proud receiver of a doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) and I'll get to take it one step further and work with Special Needs Kids in a clinical setting.
