Anatomy Lab part deux

I just ripped off a woman's breast. For reals. We were starting our thorax dissection today in anatomy lab, and we needed to examine the breast. We had to remove the skin except for around the areola, then blunt dissect underneath the areola and nipple. That means stick our fingers under there and rip it off. It was horrible. Absolutely disgusting. And it took a while. There were a lot of suspensory ligaments (also called Cooper's ligaments) that we had to tear through. Eeeewwww. And now I reek of formaldehyde, too. Bleh.

You don't like hearing the gory details? Okay, I'll save them for the holiday dinner table. :)
