Happy Belated MLKJ Day!

While this post isnt really about the recent MLKJ Day, I felt it necessary to wish everyone a merry one.

So, while Richard's rotation may be full of puppy dogs and rainbows, mine is not... We had a traffic victim last week who did have some really interesting pathology: The pubis symphesis, which is supposed to be joined together in the front, was seperated by at least 5 inches... I could have (and did) fit my hand between both sides of the pelvis. There was also bilateral SIJ fractures, which are very stable joints. Both of the legs were fractured in multiple places but we did not bother to actually check. She also had a AO separation which made the neck/head very loose.

When is comes time to remove the ovaries and uterus, they always open the ovaries first to take sections. When this was done, there was a large corpus luteum, which prompted me to say, "so she was menstruating... or pregnant" and sure enough, she was the latter of the two. It was only about 4-5 weeks and about 2 cm long (not considered viable), sad to see nonetheless, but also pretty interesting.

Well, hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, whether it was long or not. Good luck with your second weeks, and hopefully you wont feel as stupid as you did 7 days ago!
