If you ever have some weird lesion/growth on your body, and the doctor you're consulting whips out a camera & takes a picture of it, you know you're in DEEP trouble. they're most probably going to put it up during lectures for medic students like us to see how bad a pathological condition can be. and all of us students will go 'YEEEWWWWWWWWW' in unison. i bet the lecturers get a kick out of that. but then, the 'ohh-ing' and 'ahh-ing' only existed during CVS course. by the time we came to GI, i think immunity towards these revolting pictures has set in. except today, when they showed a picture of a girl who had a super large gash on her thighs and butt coz she was squating on a toilet bowl meant for sitting. the seat couldn't take her weight and she fell into the toilet bowl. the rest of the story on how she got cut by the ceramic sides of the toilet bowl is up to your imagination.
and for the daily facts...
