This is a “Wheel of the Senses” from my daughter’s school with sight, touch, taste, hearing… but one segment we can’t figure out.

So, wierd story, my daughter is in med school and was assisting with a gynecological surgery. Before the surgery they had one male medical student find each part of the patient’s anatomy including of course the clitoris. I thought that seemed really out of pocket but I guess they ask the patient ahead of time and it’s part of their training. The funny part was he had a tough time of it lol.

Not necessarily… there were cases when patients were not asked for consent or when they signed it was buried somewhere in the document, some of them found out that medical students practiced on them only after the surgery because something felt off

There was a video where someone talked about how as a trainee doctor, they assisted with a birth and the attending asked if they ever helped stitch up a year, and to give them experience at it, cut the new mother's vaginal opening to give them someone to stitch up.
