Neuroanatomy 1 ; Gman 0

Wow it's been 9 days since the last update and its been a pretty intense "Hellweek" , although its not over yet, the greatest challenge has been defeated. So how well did i do in my Neuroanatomy test? , well lets just say the test went IN : hard , fast and in general COLD. With no Vaseline involved , whatsoever. Yep , that hard it was.

Well , hard might not be the "correct" word to use. Lets just say that my teacher likes to ask about "the sentence" between the 4th and 5th comma of the 3rd line in the 5th paragraph of page number 60. "Precise" would be the word.

So some of you might be wondering what Neuroanatomy is about , right? . Ill tell you what its about : stuff that doesn't exist and that no one fucking cares.

One day , a man named Frank Netter was bored out of his mind and decided to draw some strange cartoons in one of his anatomy books. Little Frank was one of the most famous anatomists at that time , so when his assistant Dr.Moore found the book he thought he had found his "gold mine" . Dr.Moore stole the book with the cartoons and started naming them , giving each one a "functions" , marking the "limits" , divided each "segment" , etc , etc. Little did he know that he had stolen a bunch of crap Netter had drawn when he was smoking pot. Dr.Moore later found a publisher and got the stolen work published.

The book later became popular and a bunch of elitist Doctors thought it was true and learned everything in it , -those same doctors- later on became teachers at colleges and started teaching "Neuroanatomy" .

And that my friends is how the "myth" of Neuroanatomy started. We have all been fooled im afraid. But fear not my friends , i have only 2 more months to go before its all OVER.

Thats about it for this week , i promise i will have a decent post for next week! . If im over with the tests , that is.
