So we covered all axial skeleton bones last week and I asked the instructer this questions is a "the vomer is the bone that kills you if you your nose is smashed into your skull, right?" And he replied with " I have never heard of any documented deaths from that, it is a myth" I think we need to hook out professors up for a rousing debate.
