Stripper, M.D.
August 10th, 2004For today’s ICM workshop, which was on “Surface Anatomy”, they brought in artist models (models that normally pose for artists) to help us out. ..by getting topless and letting us touch them as much as we needed. We got to palpate, percuss, and auscultate as much as we wanted, and actually I still don’t really know the difference between percussing and palpating . We also were told to draw all over them, outlining the general locations of organs such as the lungs and heart.
It was definitely not an ordinary day at school, since they demonstrated to us in the lecture hall first what we would be doing…and one of the younger female models stripped right in front of us. And that’s about as hot as this story gets, since our group ended up getting assigned an older man, who was helpful. It was actually a pretty valuable learning experience. Damn it…this entry wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be.
