This story was originally published on my vet school blog, “Wet Cleanup on Aisle 5.”
If your dissection dog is a boy, spend some quality time with another group’s girl dog.
Otherwise, you may find yourself in the final anatomy exam, poking at an ovary, and thinking, “But there aren’t any major lymph nodes right here!”
And then you may walk around for a while, and come back to that question, and, if you’re lucky, you will see the GIANT UTERUS pointing RIGHT AT the lymph node. Er, ovary.
Not that I speak from personal experience, or anything.
