DR members might like the exam itself - walk into a room lined with specimens in various states of dissection, each with a pin in a certain structure, could be anything. Identify the structure and answer a question about it.

They're stressful but very fun. And humble thanks to the selfless donors, of course.

I've done that! It's so fun. Reminds me of a silent auction as we all walked from station to station

That isnt pox its EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA
It is a rare and serious disease that is characterized by intense sensitivity of the skin and mucous membranes as well. Epidermolysis bullosa is not contagious and has blistering in the epidermal cells as one of the main clinical manifestations.

Condition due to any kind of friction is a triggering of bubbles. The simplest household tasks like changing clothes, shoes, walking or washing dishes can cause injuries. The bubbles end up generating more deeply scars and are looking like a burn.

Repeated scars in the same region may lead to a sad situation known as pseudosindactilia. This situation is characterized by loss of movement in the fingers that evolves into a dystrophy usually hands. The search for a suitable treatment can, however, delay this and other complications from epidermolysis bullosa. The family should be alert to the signs and then seek the help of a medical expert.

More severe forms of epidermolysis bullosa may also affect the mouth and the esophagus, causing further inconvenience. With this even feeding is compromised and can leave the patient in a state of malnutrition. Although no cure exists for the condition, there are currently a number of medications that can help in the prevention of blisters.

We covered this picture in an earlier post and someone else recognized it as a teaching video.

This shot, from your decomposition post, looks so peaceful, and like Jerome "Curly" Howard, from, "The Three Stooges."

heres some murder scenes

there is nothing anywhereabout this pic, is it a fake?













A Jacksonville mother is still waiting to bring all of her daughter home. It's been 18 years since the gruesome murder of her daughter, Colleen Slemmer, but even with all that time, May Martinez still does not have closure.

Slemmer was tortured, beaten, and stabbed to death in Knoxville, Tennessee where she had gone to join the Job Corp. Her killer, Christa Pike, is now fighting her death sentence, again.

Action News is uncovering new developments in the delays in justice for Slemmer's family.

Pike kept a piece of Colleen's skull as a trophy and her new appeal, is keeping that fragment as evidence and also keeping Martinez from burying her child.

It's a cruel technicality that Martinez says leaves her still tormented by her daughter's killer "I should have her in a box...not keep opening a box, put pieces in. That's ridiculous."

She's has had to open this urn, rarely ever out of her sight, over and over to do the unimaginable: place another piece of Colleen's cremated remains inside. "It's hard because she'll never be buried. I keep getting body parts and right now, I'm fighting to get her buried."

The piece still missing, is a fragment of Colleen's skull. Pike took it as a trophy the night she and two others killed Colleen, motivated by a love triangle. It was a murder marked by torture with dozens of stab wounds, her throat slashed, a pentagram carved into her chest, her head bashed in. Her skull fragment is still considered evidence today because Pike's attorney's have filed a new federal appeal to help her avoid the death penalty.

It's a new legal hurdle after Pike agreed to give up the fight when her state appeals were exhausted.

Gardner, " Do you think you'll ever see Christa Pike executed for killing your daughter?"
Martinez, " No. No. I think she'll be free."
Gardner, " Why do you think that?"
Martinez " 'Cause it's the system. she's beat the system. the system lets you down... Colleen was a person. she was a human being. she didn't deserve this. she didn't deserve to be like that."

Pike was the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in U.S. history; she was just 20 at that time. Today, out of 81 inmates on death row in Tennessee, she is the only woman. The only other woman ever sentenced to death in Tennessee was recently paroled.
