Lymphocyte Social Life
Posted by enrico | Under Humor, Medical School Friday Jul 13, 2007My cousin, who recently fled the field of neurology to begin his basement dwelling pathology residency, sent me this hilarious quote from his fancy-ass new Blackberry (bitch!) as he was reading a histology text:
Lymph nodes are like singles bars for lymphocytes and antigen, providing the perfect location for lymphocytes to be exposed to a wide variety of antigens to undergo stimulation.
I thought this was too priceless not to share. Non-medical readers will just have to trust me, it’s seriously funny, medgeeky humor. I was going to msg him back and ask him why he was reading a histo book for Pete’s sake, as not even I have cracked open one of those in almost 2 years, much less him. Then I figured starting anew with path, he’d have to start somewhere remembering all those intimate cell-type details. So instead, I messaged him back about one of those cells at the bar “being a total lympho.” I know, I know…
dare I say that I just laughed out loud?
