Euthanasia

I have always been a firm believer of euthanasia. If people can kill themselves for the stupidest of reasons, why not die in the face of an excruciating incurable pain? I think everybody has got a right to terminate their life in that circumstances. I mean who are we to say they can't? It should be their choice.

Now I know that while it may be necessary it is also hard.

I killed Pooptart on friday with Sodium Pentobarbital. Saw her heartbeat stop. Felt her belly go cold. Saw her blood pressure plunge. It felt like shite.

Nostalgic

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today. So I got some pictures for you all.

My car





















My bear






















My friend the chicken. Oh this never fail to crack me up for some reason.





















My kind of morning




















My kind of church. With no walls behind it and therefore no sermons and masses.

Evil bastard

I am an evil bastard.

We operated on 5 rats today to remove their ovaries and I was loving every minute of it.

It made me think just how whiny humans really are. Post surgery, the rats didn't make a sound although it was probably painful, even with the pain killer. Humans would've whined to no end and annoyed the hell out of the nurse until she wants to quit but doesn't because the unemployment rate is rather high nowadays.

An old saying

As a kid I had to memorize a whole lot of stuff. One of them is this indonesian idiom which roughly translates to something that sounds like this:

You can see a flea on someone else's eyelid but not an elephant even when the damn thing is practically clogging up your cornea.

Hear hear.

I killed a rat today

During the aseptic surgery session today I sat beside these 2 physicians. They were really nice, really patient in teaching me how to do the sewing right. And in the amount of time it took me to stitch a 4cm incision, she sewed up TWO ROWS of a 5cm incision each and they actually look PRETTY as opposed to my jagged zig-zagged stitch.

After that Dr Scott wanted to show us the gross anatomy of the rat so he made this really long incision to expose the inside of the rat.

This is the liver, multi lobe and this is the spleen. No gall bladder. This is the diaphragm. This is the heart, lungs. Fats (very little actually, damn them). Eyeball (easily taken out). Small lymph nodes. The entire gastrointestinal tract -stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum. Testis (he cut up one). Epididymis. Prostate gland (several lobes). Seminal vesicle. And lastly brain -hypothalamus, pituitary gland, the olfactory region, cerebrum, cerebellum.

Well, that leaves only one thing.

So I thickened up the skin on my face and asked if he could show me how to take out the penis.

And he did. He was pointing out to me that I gotta start by looking at the precipice and cut around it. He took out the ENTIRE reproductive system (well, short of one testis really cuz he already took it out), pointed to each structures and identified them for me and then he said "yeah that's it basically, you just have to take out the penis shaft to measure and find out who got the best."

The thing about the vets I met at the training is that they all have a sense of humour and they look like they like their job a lot. It must be fun.

We killed a rabbit today

I guess there's no saying this without sounding hypocritical. Like what the vet Dr.Shannon said, animal research is evil but it's a necessary evil.

I was at the AHU today for animal training. While it was most informative and useful there's that bit of me (quite a large chunk) that thinks that just because I attended this training and got a cert for it, it doesn't automatically qualify me to administer injections. I mean I for one would get pissed at incompetent nurses who can't find my veins (through no fault of their own) and poke and re-poke me with the needle even though they've gone to nursing school.

And I haven't gone to any nursing school. I just attended this RCULA training.

I've wanted to kill cockroaches a lot of times before (everytime I see them actually) and it was never the guilt of the act of killing so much as the fear of the cockroaches itself that stopped me. To hell with cockroaches. But rabbits? they're very much sentient. And to put it more crudely, too cute to die.

They didn't even try to harm us when we picked them up although we so deserve it.

James asked if anybody wants to try cardiac puncture - which, in case the term isn't self-evident enough to you, means exactly that: the poking of the heart to empty the chambers of blood. In other words, the process is terminal. We're gonna kill the rabbit - and this friend of my friend (he's a vet by occupation) wanted to do it.

So it was a lot like a Russian Rouluette if you think about it. If you're the rabbit that ends up in the vet's bench you're gonna die.

And if not, you're gonna be anesthetised, got poked multiple times with a needle, got some of your fur shaved, had blood drawn out of your ears and survived to tell the story. The story of your bruises, which in case of the rabbit in my bench (because the vet wasn't in my bench), is equivalent to multiple hemorrages near the central artery of both ears.

When the vet was about to do the cardiac puncture, James said that if it made us uncomfortable we can look away.

But, if that rabbit was gonna die, we damn well should see it right? Puncture its heart. Damn well make sure we find the correct injection site and do it right. Like if I were to die transplanting my heart to somebody else, whoever got my heart should damn well live life for the both of us right?

And if it makes us uncomfortable looking at it then all the better because feeling guilty about it is the least we could do.

Stupid woman: (in accusatory tone) this is MINE.

Such a stupid song

25 minutes is such a bleedingly STUPID song.

Imagine this. The verse goes like this:

After sometime I've finally made up my mind
SHE is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her
and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done.

And since I'm a SHE, THAT would sound wrong if I sing it.

So we thought of changing it to this:

After sometime I've finally made up my mind
He is the boy and I really want to make him mine
I'm searching everywhere to find him again
to tell him I love him
and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done.

THAT sounds SO SLUTTY.

And besides the chorus originally goes like " but she's crying while she's saying this.... 'Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is 25 minutes too late'" which means that I would need to change the CHORUS TOO- the catchiest part of the song- into a shitty "but he's crying while he's saying this... 'Girl I've missed your kisses'"

WHICH MAKES THE GUY IN THE SONG SUCH A CRYBABY?

Of course we've thought of doing the verse in the third person so that we don't have to change the chorus so the new verse sounds like this:

After sometime he's finally made up his mind
She is the girl and he really wants to make her his
He's searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her he loves her
and he's sorry 'bout the things he's done.

WHICH SOUNDS SOOOOO WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

This is such a stupid song. I haven't thought much of MLTR ever since I found out they ripped off Jacky Cheung's song Wenbie anyway.

The hell with this song.

Whiny crap.

Pretense

What I like about Pein is how he's very short in the pretense department. And he is actually nice in the way that other people can't quite perceive (His sense of humour doesn't help. Not that he's not a funny guy you understand, it's just that most people don't really get it and get offended instead).

That's something I don't really get. Because to me, if he's not like that then he's not your friend at all and you're just strangers pretending to say nice things to each other. Like how his 'hoe' is a almost a term of endearment.

I think if people were just to take time and really see he's actually rather vulnerable. That is to say, a normal bloke.

And if I were to be brutally honest, I find him a lot easier to talk to than say, friends I've made over the years who are categorically 'nicer'. There's no pretending that you're some cool dysfunctional teenagers who love drinking or run away from home or thoroughly understand some dirty jokes (that don't really matter in the grander scheme of things anyway) or flirt around or think that smoking is cool (because it's not and never is in my eyes no matter what you say).

I get it that they don't get along with him. It's just that I find it harder to be neutral. And when I told them that he's actually a nice guy and got rebuffed I couldn't help but think that perhaps it was simply that their eyes were never built to see it. You can't see things you don't really wanna see anyway, can you?

And saying that they're NICE is somewhat a travesty of the word itself. If your choice of friends define who you are I know who's the better camp I want to be in.

That's all I have to say.
