I could not stop laughing

Serious.. today I was in class from 9:30 - 3 and it was just so funny and fun today.

I won't go through the whole day and say what was funny but here is a story we had to write to help us learn some terms ... enjoy and hope you get it!

: rachel went on a blind date. It started with the boy extending his arm to her as she tightly flexed her fingers in his hand. She wanted to more more proximal to him but opted to remain distal for she had only known him for 10 mins. His radiance glowed from from his suerior to inferior aspects. As they arrived proximal to their destination she realized they where going to the bowling alley and she flexed her elbows and exclaimed "YES!"

After her first strike she fully abducted her shoulder followed by bilateral circumduction. The next frame did not go so well, she went for a running start, slipped on the greasy lane and found herself prone in the gutter. Her date ran to her side, flexed his trunk ( with proper mechanics.. using the power lift) picked her up into his elbow flexed arms. He took her home and laid her supine on her doorstep and abducted himself as far away as possible!"

I just thought that was really funny.. :) Sorry if you did not get it all!

Rachel;
As my flexor and extensor digitorii mm. work in concert with flexion of the elbows and mild abduction-extention of the glenoid, the distal pads of my fingers resting gently on the asdfjkl; keys, I sit typing this letter to you, thinking how anatomical terms have become entirely commonplace in the medical community. I couldn't live without the words. The shoulder is the only odd joint, knowing which movement is extention, and which is abduction. When you say the word "abduction" or "adduction" by the way, we ALWAYS spell out loud the first two letters.... "A - B - duction" is what's said. That way there is no confusion. Other words are also mispronounced to avoid confusion, like peroneal-perineal, the word peroneal (like the peroneal mm.) is said with a very long "O". Just a short lesson from your anatomist Vater.

With Love,
Vater
