Hahaha! MrsShrek! - Am so proud of my neighbour (Lily) but had to stop her last year; she wanted to confront all the youths in our communal garden who were on drugs and alcohol!!! Lily wanted to storm out and ask them all why they weren't looking for work! Managed to persuade her that it was not a good idea as they would probably get nasty; Lily said that she was perfectly capable of defending herself with her walking stick!!!

We're going to borrow a wheelchair from the Red Cross and go off on the 'bus to Salty Town to see all the wonderful Thames Barges, our beautiful river, amazing spring flowers and the birds! Lily hasn't been there for a few years and has not seen all the changes.

thinks quads is anatomical and gets scared by level of complexity of this questioning

It had a rather relevant vein pinned in it and I had given up by that stage (120 body parts later...) I randomly had a brain scrambulatory moment

cafecito · 04/04/2013 01:26

you have thames barges!? I once nearly bought a barge - that was a non story wasn't it Smile

yeah the anatomy exams are just dire, nerves and tiny teeny little specks of invisible are pinned and you have to fondle gaps in brains and such

cafecito · 04/04/2013 01:28

Lily sounds lovely! I had a welsh great grandmother who lived to 100 who was a bit of a wild one... she'd have bashed away with her stick... peculiarly she lived on beer and faggots though

MrsShrek3 · 04/04/2013 01:35

ooh, I'm sure I have a gap in my brain

Jyniers mate Lily sounds like my granny was - she looked like a sweet old dear but would crack a hoody round the shins (anatomical term, caf) with that stick of hers soon as look at 'em. Only the good die young and she lived to be 101 Grin

cafecito · 04/04/2013 01:37

[not sure what shins are]

but I present to you

cerebral aqueducts

cafecito · 04/04/2013 01:38

*thinks long and hard and is not sure if shins are at the front or not

*sacks self as resident doctor

*beware asking me ANY questions ever ever

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 04/04/2013 01:41

I can just imagine the niteowl delivery team Hmm ......

themidwife all calm, professional, stunning hills, measuring my hootchiemama muscles
cafe getting lost somewhere around my spleen, practicing mnemonics, whipping out her anatomy app and doing speshul delivery-suite-dances
mini making bonfires to keep grandparents informed by way of smoke signals and having bumpy breakouts to all the sterile equipment
dad sitting in the corner on a barstool toadstool trying not to watch
Mrs running after littlekitty who is bumbling up and down the halls in her Easter bonnet and reins
jynier shining up my business end and sticking on rhinestones in an arrow formation as an aide memoir to cafe
stars waiting to weigh the newest kittybabu with some postal weighing contraption with a girl's name and to transport littlelittlekitty in Trevor or Tim
bluey overseeing all pantomime proceedings with an air of calm. Ready to smooth us over in times of panic (this is how you come across to meSmile )

erm.. shins?

honestly a friend someguy was telling me about his snowboard induced knee injury same guy as aforementioned but was nearly a year ago and he pointed to places on his knee and legs Blush and kept asking 'what's that called?' and I was like...er......I DON'T KNOW

.... so embarrassing...

love the linky Smile
am even more impressed that a page perhaps frequented by psychiatry students notes at the top this page has some issues Grin

Going back to cafe's link to suss out where in the leg that bit of the brain is.

kitty I am properly laughing Grin I will confuse the umbilical cord with a vas deferens as my pelvic anatomy is, er, mmm. But it's okay if I do anything wrong, I can sue myself! (imagines themidwife in a cape running in to awesome theme music, saving kitty's nether regions from cafe)

jynier · 04/04/2013 01:47

Lily is truly amazing; I adore her! She is fiercely independent and, despite being frail now, refuses to be waited on. Am not even allowed to wash-up a cup for her - she looks on everything as good exercise to combat arthritis. Not bad for someone of 89 1/2, is it?

She does have the most brilliant family, too! They all love her!

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 04/04/2013 01:50

ha ha Grin

The lovely thing is I can actually picture all this Grin

Right I'm trying for a few zzzzz before the next shift Smile

MrsShrek3 · 04/04/2013 01:53

well I thought ventricles were exclusively in the heart so it appears I'm learning something new too... (ohh the irony, my next module neurophysiology)

cafecito · 04/04/2013 02:00

my cardiac knowledge is alright but my pharmaceutical knowledge in that field is appalling.

neurophys is probably more functioning of nervous system as in, electrotonic potentials and action potentials and neuron firing and so forth.... ventricles would be neuroanatomy, though I am not sure which is worse Grin [encouraging]
