Monday, November 21st, 2005<Read>: some of the things I’m about to describe may disgust a few readers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
It’s amazing what one finds whenever one dissects a dead guy’s vital organs. This afternoon I pulled out a parasitic worm from the cadaver’s small intestine. It was approximately 4.5 inches long. I accidentally found it as I was poking around the open second portion of the duodenum (I was trying to find the ampulla of Vater- elusive little "bump"). The intestinal worm had a dull yellow color, with visible rings around its body similar to those found in the common earthworm. Poor fella. Oh, I’m referring to the dead guy, of course.
