I get to do a necropsy tomorrow...well today, it is past midnight so today. It's basicly an animal autopsy if you didn't know. I'll be preforming it on a lab rat. I'm excited. I wonder if it'll gross me out or if I'll be just fine... I've seen many surgeries already so I guese I shouldn't have much of a problem.

The formaldehyde smell makes me sick. That's the only thing. Other than that, it's pretty cool.

Anjeni i thought i would be grossed out (finding the valves on a pig heart) but surprisingly i was facinated. The rat heart was soo tiny but I still saw the valves, like the aorta and stuff.

bandaidd The formaldehyde smell makes me sick. That's the only thing. Other than that, it's pretty cool. No formaldehyde, they were euthanized yesterday and delivered to us frozen... they were still cold when we got them, but damn, when you cut them open it stinks! Ihad a mask that I rubbed Vics Vapor Rub all over and I could still smell it. I enjoyed it after I started, it was really neat to see all the organs and how they are connected.

Lady Sickness That right there is the main thing dissuading me from pursuing that career for myself. I know I couldn't do it. sweatdrop If I can Im sure you can, and it was just a one time thing, it's not very common for techs to do these, but it was pretty cool after I got over the 'I feel sick I don't know if I should do this' stage.

I got dizzy and felt like I was going to yak everytime after that, when they discovered I only got like that when I was holding for or watching a cat blood draw the banned me from even looking at cat draws, the head nurse would have me tunr my head and cover my eyes.lol. Now I'm fine with it after doing it on my own cat, in fact I did last friday!

Lady Sickness I don't know if I could bring myself to draw blood from my Kittenen. eek It was either me or someone else and I sure as hell didn't want someone else to ******** up and hurt my baby. I cried after. And she was so mad crying I put her back in the really nice cat cage they have at school and the next time I walked in the room she saw me and hissed...but the second I touched her she started purring and meowing and rubbing against me. But it was for a good cause, I got her blood tested for free and I now she doesn't have FIV or FeLV.

I'll just trust my kitties to your expert care. 3nodding
