Week 6 - Lab Galore

For the entire week, I spent most of my time working in the lab. Due to the nature of the work, I cannot share too much detail to the public, but I swear, I have been working.

However, Dr. Spector did tell us about an awesome case we missed. I tried to find him that day but it wasn't scheduled because it went through the ER. Basically, a woman got ran over by a bus. Good news: She survived (it was only her foot, I think). Bad news: She experienced what was called a "degloving" injury in which the entire skin below her ankle was detached from her foot in one piece. They operated on her the same day and put a graft over her foot to cover the exposed area. Pretty gruesome. I hope she can use that foot again.
