Instead of studying anatomy....

I'm going to whine about it.

Its pointless. I don't need to know every friggin tubercle and notch of every bone in the body! Do you realize that there are approximately 206 bones in the body (depending on how many wormian bones [ones that grow inside of the cracks in your skull] you have, or if you have them at all)??? Do you realize that I could name about 185 of them?! to me...thats a waste of brain space. I'd rather know how to change a tire.

Did you know that theres a bagillion different types of cells?! Do you know that I have/had to know all of them!? and their parts?! And I'm not just talking nucleus, ribosomes, etc. I'm talking Golgi bodies and smooth endoplasmic reticulums, which look exactly the same!!!!

SEE!?!?!

Then the only reason I know what adipose (fat) cells are is because of Doctor Who (my favorite TV show). There's an episode where this woman markets a weight loss drug called "Adipose" and its supposed to make you lose weight like crazy. Well, you do. But it comes off in the form of these cute little fat cells. She winds up calling them her children. Well eventually your whole body just becomes about 12 adipose babies. Its crazy. But, I know what adipose cells are.

They're a lot cuter then real fat cells anyways.

There are about 700 muscles in the body. I'm going to have to know most of them. ...Do you see why I failed it last semester!? ...I'm passing this time, so far *fingers crossed*

Anyways.

I'm supposed to be doing anatomy homework. But, I figured I'd take the time to let the world know how I feel about this class.

Its too much, in not enough time. Thats all. I don't mind learning all of this, but not in a span of 4 months. Thats not fun.

Have I ever told you you're my herooo?!

This is Doctor Hunter "Patch" Adams. You can read about him here.

Homeboy's got it going on.

You might have seen the movie, Patch Adams, with Robin Williams. If not, its on Netflix, check it out. I would reccomend that movie to anyone.

Patch Adams' ideas of healthcare are what I feel is right. He feels that you should treat a patient, not a disease. Make fun of life, and make life fun. Be creative. Be inspiring. Be supportive. Be loving. Be compassionate.

Doctors, and other healthcare professionals these days care more about the money behind the service than actually the service itself. This isn't a car repair shop. This is life. You mess one little thing up, and its gone. People need to focus more on the person than what comes out of the person's wallet.

I'm not going to get into the whole "free healthcare" thing. I understand both sides. I think things like that should be free, but I understand how expensive everything costs, and the government seems like its in enough financial turmoil...

I digress.

Patch Adams is the man. The bomb. The cat's pajamas. The bee's knees.

He also says that all the problems in the world have been caused by men. I sort of agree with that...but the women didn't help. ha.

I love everything about this man. At least, I haven't found anything so far that was displeasing.
