Nothing is sacred...

Nothing is sacred....

I've mentioned this more than once. And I'll say it again. Nothing is sacred in the medical profession. Here's an example:

We've just got us a new gynaecology lecturer. Fantastic dude. Hilarious sense of humour. Has a cynical way of looking at everything :)

Here's what happened today:

Module: Obstetrics
Subject: 1st trimester pregnancy
Clinical situation: Pregnant woman with a 14 X 8 cm fibroid in the fundus of the uterus above the baby.

Conversation:

Lecturer: The fibroid will degenerate and lose it's blood supply.
Student: But it would still be there?
Lecturer: It would still be there.
Student: It's so huge...
Other students: Yalor yalor....
Lecturer: Yes, the baby would grow, and push the fibroid upwards towards the abdominal cavity.
Student: So the poor woman would be carrying two huge lumps around?!?!
Lecturer: *nods sagely* Haiya... carry the lumps around laa... After all, you all have two breasts, what's two lumps to you all?
Students: *stunned split second of absolute silence before breaking into hysterical laughter....!!*

OMG... didn't I say he was one cool old dude?
