Dead Cow Lecture at Vet School

[WolfTiS]

 

First-year students at the Vet School were attending their first anatomy

class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table

with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them, "In Veterinary medicine

it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor: the first

is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body". For

an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the

butt of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Go

ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually

took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and sucking on

it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "the

second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle

finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's

tough, but it's even tougher if you're stupid.."
