TMI?
During my delirious waking moments during the GI Epidemic of 2009, I found I kept having the strangest dreams (daydreams, fantasies, delusions?). Somewhat ironically, we are studying the digestive system in my A&P class right now. During the 20 minutes between episodes, I would dream that I was traveling through my GI tract. I watched the smooth muscle cells get all irritated from the stupid virus and start going into hyper-spastic mode. I watched my cardiac sphincter open up to allow, well, to allow my dinner to reverse its course. I also kept thinking about the 3-6 hours food spends in the stomach and the 3-10 hours it spends in the small intestines and wondering when it was going to be over. Because seriously, I couldn't have gotten more empty, folks. I wonder if these kinds of crazy delusions are going to get worse as I learn more about the human body and pathologies of the human body. It was a bizarre night.

Well are classes aren't lining up this semester, we've done blood, Endocrine, and are currently on the heart (which is way more complicated than I ever thought!)Guess I have great excitement in store for the digestive system!
I heard from a doctor that medical students are the worst hypochondriacs, because they learn all about the things that can go wrong with a body.
"Knowing is half the battle?"
Hmmm...
