pacificpikachuI'll write a separate post on the rest of the day, but this clearly deserves a post all its own. XD
So, today in Animal Science, I palpated a cow.
By 'palpated,' I mean that I stuck my arm--nearly up to my shoulder--up her rectum. Voluntarily. Twice. Note that I had shoulder-length gloves on, but...still. Point stands.
It was...actually rather interesting, and not nearly as unpleasant as I expected it to be. Once I got over WHAT EXACTLY I WAS DOING, it was just fine. If nothing else, it was definitely a life experience, and I imagine I'll have to do it during vet school at some point so--no big deal! I'm ahead of the game.
The whole gluing my petrified hummingbird back together thing looks so tame in comparison to this.
Proceed being disgusted and confused. :D
