despite being completely unprepared for my first dissection class today, i had a wonderful learning experience. we learnt about the shoulder (scapula, clavicle, humerus and muscles of the rotator cuff) and had a surprisingly nice time cutting up our cadaver's shoulder. today's session allowed me to have a great hands-on experience in dissection and i learnt that cutting through all those layers of skin and fats and connective tissue is an extremely tiring job! anyways, the bottomline is, i really do love anatomy! i find it so intriguing and practical, and i suppose it's one of the reasons why i chose to do medicine. the human body is such an amazing creation indeed, and i feel so privileged to be able to explore it in great detail. plus watching medical shows like HOUSE M.D. only serves to remind me that i'm really going to love and enjoy medicine! :)))
