Travis was a good surgeon today. He and some others did a "punch biopsy" of tissue from a patient here in the classroom. Well, the patient is a piece of cheese with a nose drawn on it - but he didn't feel any pain. We anesthetized him first with some 1% Lidocaine - WITHOUT epinephrine. Tomorrow, the A.M. class will get a chance to do the same. We'll do the biopsy of tissue and then prepare it so it can go to pathology for examination. We need a report to tell us the nature of the tissue right? Is it BENIGN? Is it MALIGNANT?
Speaking of skin....we'll look at colors tomorrow - special medical terminology that represents colors. For instance, define cyantoic, jaundice, albino, and erythema. If I ask you tomorrow, will you know?
We'll work on Chapter 2 - let's get that done, shall we? We have more exciting events and lessons to get to!
