Sounds like they really pile on the pressure, but I guess you'd want to get used to it from the get-go and maybe handle it better when the real heat is on.<br /><br />Do you get to relax and enjoy your weekend before you have to start in again?<br /><br />SherryHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-50109996720259618882012-11-22T17:14:28.136-04:002012-11-22T17:14:28.136-04:00Okay, cool thanks for the reply. :) Okay, cool thanks for the reply. :) Bewildermunsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401477381302419273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-63479238035576961492012-11-22T14:40:56.560-04:002012-11-22T14:40:56.560-04:00In 7th semester we do perform surgeries on live an...In 7th semester we do perform surgeries on live animals. Starting in 1st semester we are working with models that consist of materials that have similar properties such as tensile strength, thickness, fragility, etc. to actual tissue. We learn instrument handling, suture patterns, catheter placement, and many other things on very realistic physical (not computer) models. We have to prove competency on these before we're allowed to touch a live animal.<br /><br />In 6th semester we learn and perform an ovariohysterectomy on the ROSSie model which is put together of various materials to look, feel and behave like an actual abdomen would in surgery. I posted a bit about it with a photo here: http://mydvmvacation.blogspot.com/2012/09/back-at-it-again.htmlJulie Ladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377742107716763623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-11677470688634883922012-11-22T14:31:14.337-04:002012-11-22T14:31:14.337-04:00That sounds so intense!

Is it a computer model? <br />- Jess, a reader :) Bewildermunsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401477381302419273noreply@blogger.com
