"Dr. Flannagan took up a scalpel and pressed the tip of the blade on the upper left part of the chest under the sholder. she made a curving incision that went underneath the nipples, across the chest, and up to the opposite sholder. Then, starting at the top of the sternum, she made a straight incision down to the solar plexus. This made a cut that looked like a Y , but with a curved top. She findished it with a short horizontal cut across the solar plexus. the opening incision looked rather like the profile of a wienglass.
Dr. Flannagan grasped the skin of the chest, and pulled it upward, pelling it off. she laid the blanket of skin around the neck. she pullled the skin away from the sides of the chest, revealing the ribs and sternum. she took up a pair of gardenging shears and cut the ridb one by one, snipping them in a wide circle around the sternum. this was to free the chest plate, the front of the rib cage. When she had finished cuttting the ribs, she pushed her fingertips underneath the chest plate and pried it upward, as if she were raising a lid from a box.
As Flannagan lifted the chest plate, a gush of bloody fluid poured out from under the ribs and ran down over the body and poured over the gurney and onto the floor.
The chest cavity was engorged with body liquid. no one in the room hadever doen a post on a person who had died of anthrax." ...
That was just a fun little clip from the book i'm reading called demon in the freezer, by Richard Perston. i'm still only just getting into it, but its very good so fare. its about the anthrax scare in 2001, and somthing about smallpox. Perston is the same guy who wrote The Hot Zone - if you have never read it, it is an AMAZING book about the near fatal outbrake of Ebola in the late 80's in the US. i don't know what it is about these kinds of books- just last week i finished Cairears, witch is about a geneticaly manipulated air born pathagen that brakes out in the Indoneasain rain forest. i guess for some strange reason i just happen to like reading about people who brake out and start bleeding from ever whole in their body as their iners turn to soup : ? ) soooooooooo- yah, if you have time this summer you should read one of these books- there very good....
well, moving on- its only like 10 days until i get to go home for about a week. i'm kind of really looking foward to it- i have not been home in a very long time. i don't really know how its going to go though. i am hopful that all will go well, and that i will have a grand time. i know that my parants can't wait to see me. the other day, my dad called to make sure i still drink diet pepis, so he could go get some (i latter found out from my mom that he already had gotten a botal- 2 weeks before i'm home). sooooo- if nothing eles, the being spoiald part will be nice. hey- we all need to be spoialed at some point in out lives! speaking of- i finally get paid for the fist time this summer on friday (yay!) and my plan as it stands right now is (depending on how much i have made- cause between all 2.5 jobs and taxes i'm not really sure) i'm going to put at least 100 aside so that i can get my tat at the end of the summer. i'm thinking of it as a birthday gift to myself. i'm still not sure what i want to get- i have it down to a celtic band, or my moon/sun seal- but i'm still trying to think it through. i'm kind of leaning to the band, cause that way i get a better idea of how a tat will look, and how my skin will take it. i mean, i don't want to spend all that money on something i really want, and then have my skin not take to it as well as i had hoped, and have it look...well not as good as i would have wanted. sooooo yah- i think i'm going to go with the band.
in other news, i'm really looking foward to the real food when i go home. the only thing i'll have to worry about is my blood sugar going crazy, and me getting really fat. i wish i were getting into better shap this summer. i try to ride my bike for about an hour everyday- when it is not raining, but i think what i really have to do is go back to running on the eliptical.....
its kind of strange to think in just less than a month i'm going to be 20. i can remmeber very very clearly my 10th birthday. i was at my ants house in florda, with my sister, and extended family getting my cake with the number 10 candle on it.... andi can just remember thinking to myself "wow, i made it to the dubble digets.....wow..." and it was like the bigest thing in the world that i had made it to such a number. now, is i wind up for round two with the dubble digets, one of the main thoughts i'm having is along the lines of "wow- i 'm not the youngest one of my friends anymore, that freaking ROCKS!!!" and it really does rock, i'm happy to not be the youngest for once in my life.
well- off i go
