Pelvic Exams!

Today was a more than normally fun day at school. We spent the entire morning practicing speculum exams, bimanual exams, and prostate exams on plastic dummies! Woo hoo! The dummies were actually very realistic -- I think they cost around $600 a piece. They had replaceable uteruses and prostates so you could feel different pathologies. Good times!

After class Carla and I went for a run. We ended up running down the river bank and across the LRT (subway) bridge over the river, back up the river bank (~200 stairs), and back across the river on the high-level bridge. In this satelitte image you can see the two bridges we crossed, and the parliament buildings to the top right of the screen.

Other than that I've just been studying gynecology (gross/boring) and wasting time on my laptop. Time to go iron a shirt/tie for tomorrow!
