The dorsal mesentery and its associated vessels and nerves. Enough said. Yesterday I mentioned we spent 3 hours cleaning 5 vessels. Apprarently that turned out to be nothing compared to what was in store for us today. Today we did nothing except clean vessels. A huge messy network of vessels. This led me to the conclusion that everything is connected. In life. Or just in the vessels of the abdomen.

To go off on a small tangent: I keep on referring to the abdomen as the stomach or the tummy, and I keep on having to remind myself that I cannot make those kind of references now that I am in medical school! I must learn to distinguish the stomach from the abdominal or the peritoneal cavity. I must grow up now.

I digress, again. Did I ever tell you how much I enjoy wearing scrubs every single day? It is like wearing PJs every minute everywhere. Makes life so simple and beautiful and relaxed. It is the bestest thing since sliced bread.
