:: euw ::
now... this is a kidney dish filled with SEBUM. sebum is this oily mixture that gets secreted out of our sweat glands... it moisturises the skin and contains some anti-bacterials. so why is there such a freaking huge pool of gooey sebum in this dish??? cuz... it just flowed out of this cystic teratoma. a mature cystic teratoma is a type of benign tumour, commonly found in the ovary. this one was the size of a 22wk uterus (diameter ~ 5inches)... when it was slit open, the sebum half spurted out... and the cyst deflated... usually there are other formed elements in the teratoma, these elements are embryonically developed from the 3 cell lines... bascially, it means any tissue can be found in there... like skin, bone, cartilage, hair, fat, endocrine tissue... we tried looking for teeth in there, but too bad, there wasn't any. it was really gross though, the sebum + matted hair...
sigh, i just love operations... :D :D :D i wanna op next time leh.
on friday, there was a code green (emergency caesarean) around 7+... sigh... i RAN all the way to the OT reception cuz i needed someone to open the door for me. but the counter was like a ghost town... thankfully the HO was there so we rushed over to the change room so she could open it for me. she's so nice :) BUT... argh. u all know how far the change rm is from the OT reception rite... sigh and i changed so quickly lor (not like some pple... take ages to change... dunno what they are doing inside the change room...sheesh... hehehe... ) anyway i managed to change without going into the cubey at all lor! and i RAN all the way to the OT... and guess wat... that was under 10min in total... and the baby out liao lor!!! *fumes*
so u see... they really mean it when they say CRASH CAESAR... but i'm glad both mother and son are fine... :D
point of note: when cutting the cord, please be careful not to cut that vital organ if it's a male child. heh.

Honestly, that was GROSS. Reminds me of morbid fantasies where I can apply a whole-face vacuum pump to suck out all the sebum. Oh yucks.
