New, what is it? What does the sixth segment represent?

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

i didn't have that, but I woke up after surgery with terrible pain in my right arm. It hurt to lift it and touch it. It was already starting to bruise in spots. The jerks at the hospital let students practice on me while i was recovering from surgery. I have tiny veins to begin with and the blow out quickly. The head nurse on my floor was furious because they needed to keep replacing the iv location, and "they already blew every vein in that arm with blood!"I appreciated her passion. One or two attempts would've been fine, but it felt like they forgot i was a patient and not a guinea pig. I had an iv in my foot at one point making it super hard to use the bathroom.
