My Netter is like a bible. It never went into the anatomy lab.
My lab group chipped in and bought a "dirty Netter" from a guy the year before us (who'd bought it from the year before him) and used it in the lab ONLY.
At the end of anatomy, we left it in the lab. It's likely still there, going through generations of physicians. And smelling awful.
They won't let us "pass down" our dirty Netters/Grants to the next classes (we used Grants). We have to throw them away. So instead, each group has to chip in and buy a new one each year unless someone doesn't want to use theirs at home and is willing to donate their personal one (no one in my group was that generous).
I would totally go to a bar where all the mixed drinks featured medical names. I'd drink the hell out of a "Poor Prognosis" or a "Erythematous Bull & Vodka".
lol netter was only in my room never in the Dissection hall. it was Cunningham that was greasy and dirty. i never opened it in my room. only during dissection :D
1) I have something in common with Dr. Grumpy! My Netter's is also pristine whilst my group chipped in for a Dirty Netter that was the unholy triad of disgusting, outdated, and completely falling apart! (only difference is I know where mine ended up: in a trash can in the girls' locker room!)
2) Apotential - LOVE the idea for a bar! It could be right near a hospital and be the doctors' hangout - like Joe's on Gray's Anatomy or Doc Magoo's on ER . . . I haven't found a place like that in real life, but they must exist, right? "Erythematous Bull" cracked me up, BTW. :)
Awesome -- vet students have dirty Miller's. We have a lot of the same issues you guys do, apparently. My group had a dirty Miller's passed down to us, but we lost it (it may have been stolen) and then there was much drama.

We had donated dirty Netters for our anatomy lab. Thank GOD. It was so nasty!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making a beverage in honor of the dirty netter, though I think a little bloody mary mix would have to be involved as well.

ReplyDeleteHaha! Netter = FTW. I didn't let anyone touch my Netter or any other books for that matter.
ReplyDeleteOur dirty Netter came with the lab. God knows how many generations of stink it had absorbed.
ReplyDeleteHow much are Netters? I have one and I don't remember it being prohibitive in cost.
ReplyDeleteAlthough with massage therapy, the only cadavers I ever saw were on video.

Umm.. please let it be choice b!

ReplyDeleteWe didn't use Netter in the anatomy lab. It was Cunningham's Manual of Practical Anatomy, Volumes I to III.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I might mix myself an "Outdated Greys Anatomy" on the rocks :-)
ReplyDeleteOur dirty Netter was disgusting! The pages were so greasy you could see through them. Good times. :)

Wow - just had 2 OMG moments:
