Knees

I don't like knees. They just don't fit the aesthetics of the rest of the body. Plus, the patella is known as a floating bone. It literally can't get any worse than that. Literally!

So, learning the knee physical exam tomorrow. One of the maneuvers we are supposed to do is described thusly: "The suprapatellar pouch should be milked to determine whether an effusion is present."*

Problems:
1. Pouch?
2. MILKED?!

Finally, we learn the exams on each other. And I'm ticklish.

This has been the morning edition of Tarini Complains About Body Parts.
