Assortment of Dissection Feelings


# When you pass the under-preserved cadaver in lab

#When I make the mistake of describing my dissection to my non-med school friends or even family
They're just like

# When I realize "that" slimy feeling is because there's hole in my gloves
I'm just like
# When I accidentally cut a nerve, but then reconstruct it from fascia
I'm just like

# During dissection, some one asks whether we should cut the vessel or not
And I'm like " Let's try it!"

Hallelujah

We had our first OSCE exams last wednesday, of which the results were out yesterday. I managed to pass. A narrow escape! Pheww! I didn't want this OSCE to be the first exam causing my first academic failure*. And also I'm the topper amongst the international students**.

During Exams

 After Exams

And yeah, I still don't understand why the Anatomy Department thought of naming the test as OSCE. It was not even related to it. Though we had 20 stations, 2minutes for each station, it was basically spotting stuffs in the dissected cadavers. But, I passed!!! Apparently, I am not horrible.




*This doesn't make me sound like a nerd, does it?
** In a class of 60 students, we are 6 international students. So, I am ahead of at least 10% of my classmates.
