Also on Monday we had dissection and anatomy again. In anatomy we had to paint on the ribs and lungs and it was my turn to be the canvas. I was sat on the examination couch in my bra with my (thankfully) female anatomy partner and teacher prodding at my chest trying to identify my sixth left anterior intercostal space, (just under the underwire of M&S underwear if you want to find your own). All of the other pairs had at least one boy in them so although they didn't have the female anatomy to worry about, I think some of the boys may have got lots of paint matted into their chest hair. And they'll certainly be at a disadvantage after we do ECGs when we come to remove the sticky pads.
I also got a letter from one of the medico-legal societys you have to subscribe to. They are able to provide legal advice and defence if you make a medical error or somebody ties to sue you. Some words in medicine are very similar (such as the cardiac glycoside drugs digoxin and digitoxin) and therefore you would expect medics to be very careful of how they spelt things. However, in my first letter from this society they had inserted a letter 'e' randomly into my first name. I don't really think that gives off the correct impression, does it?!
