I was so tired in anatomy this morning that as soon as I could, I stripped out of my scrubs and skated home for a nap until my practice of medicine course. This is the dream that occurred in this nap.

I am in anatomy lab and we are just finishing up. I am about to pull the cover over my cadaver, but then I get stopped by someone. This person wanted to play a game. Kate comes over and says that she has Operation! Perfect! I say that I have some chips and beer and that we should just play right here, on our cadaver. Kate gets out the Operation board while I start looking in the kidney for my chips and beer, which I had stored there (WTF?!) I can't find the chips OR the beer… so I start looking under the table, when Leslie joins us and says “hey, you were looking in the wrong kidney! They were in the right one” (I was under the table and unable to see Leslie pull the chips and beer from the right kidney, so my brain didn’t have to come up with a way to visualize this…) So, we start to set up the game board in anatomical position on top of our cadaver. Kate is at the end of the table she just jumps up on the body, straddling its legs at the base of the Operation game and not caring that formaldehyde is now seeping through her scrubs into her crotch. (WTF!?) She cracks a beer and I put the batteries in the Operation board and insert the little, humorous organs into the little spaces. We play, and every time somebody buzzes a side we all drink. I tell everyone that since food and drink are not allowed, we should probably keep our beers low so the profs won’t see them. Kate takes off her scrub top when she loses, turning this into strip operation. When class ends, I am in just my scrub pants, Kate’s in her underwear (still straddling the cadaver, mind you, and my subconscious was VERY kind to her. Wow. I gave her a hell of a body) while Mitch was in only a scrub shirt. I reassure Mitch as we head for the locker room that I will not be late for journal club, because he is apparently so worried about this.

Alarm wakes me up.

OK. That was weird. A little too weird. I think I have been studying too much anatomy.
