“Hands-on” Clinical Correlation
May 21st, 2004I got a first-hand view of the hand muscles we happen to be learning about in school right now. Had another one of my panic attacks last night — my biggest one yet, actually. I woke up about an hour after falling asleep, and next thing I knew I was awake, arms flinging, and my fist through the window! At first I didn’t realize where I was, what had happened, or even that my fist had shattered through the glass, but after feeling blood dripping on my knee I quickly had an idea of what was up.
After spending the next few hours in the Cedars-Sinai ER getting stitches, I returned home to find my bedroom looking like someone had delivered a baby in there it was so bloody. This was all definitely a scary and unwanted situation, but at least now I’ll never forget where the palmaris longus muscle is.
