Another off topic comment, but I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. The doctors don't call nurses by their name. They just say "Nurse, can you do this?" Does that actually happen?
And no, I also have that urge to squeeze an eyeball I'm dissecting. No judgment here. :)
Am I the only one who when dissected the eye ball who wanted to *squeeeeeeeze* the living hell out of the eye? Just squeeeeeze it SOO hard?
After the initial squirt and all the "eww OMG that so gross" by what I thought were people hoping to be medical professionals, I managed so get the vitreous humor on the needle pointer and held it up and went "Hmm, it looks like uncooked egg whites." It caused some retching
Fingernails are my other "issue." My turn to shadow the ED nurses was quite eventful, including a very inebriated gentleman who had been run over (twice!) in a parking lot. I was tasked with the job of cleaning his arms....you can imagine what nasties he had after his non-accident. Would have been fine had his fingernails not been ripped off. Very nearly lost it. Blech.
Eyeballs are my kryptonite.

1) you are all insane and I love it.
2) I dissected a brain and an eyeball last semester.
In fact I was the only one with the balls to dissect said eyeball and it squirted me with eyeball juice.
