The Physical Exam

2000

Learning the pelvic exam is an awkward experience for most med students, especially if you screw up before you even start.  Most schools hire brave people to sit through a morning of students poking and prodding, trying to feel their vas deferens or their ovaries.  In San Francisco this means a motley batch of hippies, anti-circumcisionists, and women with vulva puppets, shouting, "Vulva Power!"  Their time and patience is greatly appreciated, and the lessons learned during that first session are remembered forever.

I'm still circumcising my kid, though.
