Medical Project Week 4

Monday through Friday, I watched videos from a channel called Gross Cutting Room. (Yes I know the name can be interpreted as comedic but I assume the Gross actually refers to gross in the medical sense, meaning something you can see without a microscope, as the channel only focuses on that part) It features dissections of various single organs or parts of organs, some from the dead and some removed from the living. I had watched two of these videos for the third week of the project as well.

Each day, I would watch two of these videos. In order, I watched (listed as what they are titled as):

Lung Wedge Dissection (I forgot to finish the full thing from last week)

Kidney Dissection

Foot Amputation Dissection (the dissection of the amputated foot, not featuring the actual amputation)

Thyroid Dissection

Small Bowel Dissection

Gallbladder Dissection

Sigmoid Colon Dissection

Appendix Dissection

Esophagus Dissection

Hemorrhage Dissection

My favorite was probably the foot dissection, as I’ve never seen anything like it. There were so many problems with the foot: a huge ulcer, a lot of necrotic tissue, a huge abscess, hollow bones, and other problems.

As for note taking, I am in about to finish the whole notebook which should happen this week.
