Hi all! Grace here.

I am not yet studying Anatomy and probably won’t until next year, but I decided to look up sources relating to Anatomy and gather them here for future reference! I will be adding more to it as I find more. If you are currently studying Anatomy or already have, please let me know if there were sources you are using/did use that were/are helpful so I can add them! :)

Her hair bobbed as she walked into the room, her eyes locking on mine.  Her hands were already clasped tightly together and a nervous tension emanated from her.  I smiled.

“Hi, I’m Kari, I’m working with him today… Are you family?”  I said as she hovered in the dead space between the sliding door and the bed.

She nodded quickly and began speaking in rapid tones.  She tried not to but she cringed as she looked at the bed.

I couldn’t blame her.  The large man laying there was wasting away. A week of laying in the ICU in multi-system organ failure had created a pin cushion in the shape of a man.

In report that morning I had heard all about how he had cancer consuming his body.  Terrible, awful cancer. The kind that mocks chemo and turns its nose up at radiation. He had been doing well and then suddenly he wasn’t.  The family was shell shocked.  By all accounts, he was the sweetest and kindest man you could ever know. He was encouraging to strangers and family alike.  

I’m always curious about patient’s I meet on death’s door.  Were they funny? Were they happy?  Where did they work?  What was their laugh like? 

The wife continued talking about their life together and how neglected things had been since he had gotten sick. 

“I have so much to do.  I just don’t want to do it.  Not without him…not without him.” Her voice wavered.

I looked away from the wife’s soulful brown eyes rimmed with tears and looked at my patient.  I couldn’t see it.  The man that was described so lovingly, was gone.  His likeness remained.  A likeness that was becoming more jaundiced as the day went on.  His body, so swollen with fluid, that even the continuous dialysis I was running didn’t help. A likeness whose kidneys, lungs, stomach had quit.  A likeness whose skin bruised with touching and weeped with fluid.

It was all I could see. The dying body. Even as I struggled to see it through the wife’s eyes.  To imagine someone I loved in that bed.  I couldn’t see the smile they described or the sparkling eyes.  I saw the cracked bleeding lips and swollen sclera. I saw the lab values and endless string of medicines pushing chemical life into his body.  I saw the machines filtering, breathing, reviving what little life they could. 

I saw the body.

Other Subreddits to take note of:

/r/premed: Very chill pre-med community, but isn’t afraid to be really blunt on things. I feel like they give rather honest/realistic opinions on things, with the exception of STUNNAGUNNA45T, the most magnificent bastard on the sub. 

/r/AskHistorians: the most lengthy, driest forum posts I have ever read on the internet. Also generally agreed upon by pre-med redditors to be most effective way to study for the verbal section. 

Get your butt into gear:

/r/GetStudying: Has an accountability thread and you can get an online study buddy there as well.

/r/getmotivated: pics and quotes and stuff

/r/GetDisciplined: Motivation gets you started, but discipline keeps you going.

/r/MusicForConcentration: find cool stuff here. Expect numerous Nujabes reposts though…

/r/Mydaily3:  Daily journal entry of just 3 bullet points of what you did today. Good for keeping track of what you studied and would go well for you bullet journalists out there.
