Who says there's no fun allowed in med school?

Quotables from the most recent set of lectures

"You can in fact exercise your pubococcygeus muscles. There are exercises called Kegels, and the best thing about them is that no one knows you're doing them...you can stand at the podium and contract them as you're lecturing, for example, and no one has any idea." --Our very funny anatomy prof with an AMAZING British accent

"There are many theories as to why humans evolved bipedal locomotion. To see cheetahs in high grass and avoid being eaten; to be able to wade into water to fish without drowning; to be at the right level to harvest grain. My personal opinion is that it evolved to enable us to drink Bud Light. Try drinking from a can while on all fours sometime...maybe after you've had a couple already. Very difficult. Hence, bipedalism."--Another anatomy prof in a stunning nonsequitor

(On trans fats) "What did you guys have for breakfast? Any McDonalds? How about a glazed doughnut? No? What did you have?"
Student: "Cottage cheese and a bagel."
Prof: "Man, you guys are boring. I knew when I didn't get any questions after the midterm that you were low-key, but...anyway, there are about 5 grams of trans fats in a bagel, 10 in a McDonald's McMuffin. You're only supposed to have 2 grams, max, a day, so after one McMuffin--bam--you're dead for a week."
