Running From Lions Never Felt Like Such a Mistake

I am soo excited for the Warped Tour. I publicized the Music Saves Lives blood donation incentives on the Freakonomics blog (http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/2007/07/06/the-freakest-links-smaller-homes-free-burritos-and-the-price-of-death-edition/).
In other news, yesterday I saw situs inversus up close and personal. Situs inversus is a very rare condition (less than 1 in 10,000 people are afflicted with it) in which the internal organs swap sides and mirror "normal" setup of the organs. There are no real complications with the disease, except that it makes diagnosis harder when doctors don't realize one has the disease (appendicitis on the left?). It can also make organ transplantation more difficult because the surgeon has to rechannel the bodies major arteries and veins.
Sure, the situs inversus I saw was in a crackwhore whose lungs were as black as a long-time coal miner's, but it was really cool that I had seen it when many practicing physicians never have. This is just one more thing to add to my article I'm writing for my college's newspaper.

Summer's in the sky. Oh why, oh why would I want to be anywhere else?

Fourth of July tomorrow.
Bought Warped Tour tickets.
Excited for ALL TIME LOW.

Work is going well.
I have somewhat mastered sewing up the bodies.
My favorite autopsy technician (who gives everyone he likes nicknames) called me "the professor" today.
It has a nice ring to it :-).

Don't ask about boys
because I have nothing to say in that department.
I'll probably become an All Time Low groupie; I don't have to work much more this summer.

I'm going to DC soon! So exciting, it's too bad I'm only there for a few very busy days.
