Wednesday-emotionally exhausting!

Well, I went to the umm brain sectioning of a newborn, but unlike those previous ones who died of SIDS this was a Forensic Case. A 17 year old girl had given birth in her room and then the baby had "somehow" sustained a fractured skull, various scratches, a subarachnoid and subdural heamorhage. It seemed as if baby had been flung against a wall. The brain was in bad condition as as its a criminal case they took 26 blocks of tissue, as opposed to the usual 6. Heart breaking stuff.

Then I went onto the Kevin Spacey thing, absolute gold and so what I needed as a change from all the stuff in the lab. We were front row just infront of his arm chair. We could have grabbed him (but we didnt- we got a program instead)
