med school mumblings...

going through again and again the details of the upper limb. i should be better at it after lunch. indeed, you eat, sleep, drink all the info that you've learnt. and i feel that anatomy makes you lose that innocence about your body, since you now know every little detail about the nerves, veins and muscles. you move around or see the muscles of the atheletes on tv these past week, and you think, deltoid, supinator, teres major, biceps...and the list just goes on. when my digiti minimi or little finger started hurting, i worried that the synovial sheaths had been inflammed and i might need steroid injections or something horrible. so you lose that child-like wonder, since the pain you feel is very real now. that's the way it is for medicine i guess. we can't shut our eyes to suffering anymore.
