Another one of those "Did you have to share this with us? D:" posts! Just because I love you guys.

I'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

Wow, I'm jealous. D: I'd love to be able to do that.

I've neutered animals and stuck my finger through the aorta of a pig heart, but that just sounds amazing. XD

I guess I could do that if I... wanted. But. I don't. LOL. Actually the thought that went through my mind was "poor cow". Then again its prolly used to having students reach up..yeah. pfff shutting up now. xD

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA

The most I've ever done is skin a cat for AP Bio and stick things into a rat for Tissue Engineering, thus far. ....I think today we get to kill the rat and see what happened to the thing we stuck in it.

D= Why is do your classes sound so much more infinitely more interesting? And my Tissue Engineering class is supposed to have really interesting labs...

All I can imagine is that scene in Moyashimon were Sawaki does the same thing... just not voluntarily. I don't think I'll ever be able to think of doing that without seeing the look on his face...

[mei-san.livejournal.com]

Yes, this posted reminded me of exactly that scene. Didn't they say something about, if the cow moves it might break your arm?

[sammywhatammy]

Oh goodness xD; You are a braver human being than I.
