you know this is a serious thread. In the future young pre-vet wannabes are gonna read this and not understand that you don't need to be pregnant to feel this way.

Shame on you children. Go to bed without dinner.
I can't believe I started an actual serious thread. Oh how the times have changed.

Also, I already ate dinner.

But WZ will still be around then. I mean, she doesn't even apply for another 9 years at the earliest....

is that how you count a group of things.
Like a flock of birds.
A school of fish.
A leash of greyhounds (yes that is a thing... don't argue with me).

and now.
a long of things.
I think it really depends on the things or thingies you are referring to :p

lol. And WZ, you know that you are procrastinating your long essay just as much as I am procrastinating my long essay. I guess that's what you were referring to when you said a long of things....
Let's be honest...if I say the word long you should know exactly what I am referring to and it has nothing to do with essays
 
This happened to me the first time I watched a cruciate surgery, It is very common. Even if you don't think you're freaked out by blood and guts the slight pop of a joint or tearing of tissue can push you to the lightheaded place. I overcame this by just continuously exposing myself to surgeries, watching them on youtube, volunteering.

I actually ended up working in the CVM teaching hospital's small animal surgery unit for 2 years, and I have seen this happen to fourth year veterinary students in surgeries such as during a tibial plateau leveling osteomy, or when trying to set a bad fracture. They just sit out in the hall for a minute, get a cold washcloth on their head and get a drink.
