Yes, that is a urine sample jar on my shelf. I've got no idea where it came from, so don't ask. The distortion represents the wooziness I felt when I added up the total cost of this lot.
When it comes to medical textbooks, I've come up with three rules. Firstly, the thicker the better. Also, trust the books that have about a squillion editions preceding it. Most importantly though, if it's published by Elsevier-We're-Going-To-Take-All-Your-Money-Saunders, you're set. A heady combination of Robbins and Guyton is supposed to cover you for a while, but if you're like me and are excessively paranoid about Guyton's lacklustre neurophysiology....

Urine spec jars are (this might sound disgusting but is true) the perfect size for honey/parmesan/salad dressing for your lunch.
Oh man. I was relying on Wikipedia to get me through med school, after all it pretty much has got me through undergrad. That and a subscription to pubmed courtesy of UQ.
It seems like I'm going to be a poor student for longer than I anticipated, based on the amount of books I can see on your shelf.
Don't know about using urine jars as a food storage container. It is practical I guess, but for me there is something just slightly disturbing about it (must be too many hours in a pathology lab)
The distorted parts of the photo make it look as if the the top shelf is buckling under the weight.
How fitting.
Aaron: it is entirely possible :-) The only thing I can say in my defence is that it wasn't me who came up with it.
omg ur upper shelf is caving in! u better lighten the load before it collapses one day!
abt the urine jar, a really cool prank to do in the hospital will be to fill it with apple juice and carry it around ward rounds or sth, sipping as you go! totally gets pple!
I love how the most important thing about this post is the URINE JAR! Goes to show that toilet humour never grows old.
Urgh. I remember a prac where we had to analyse creatinine levels in classmate's urine. Funnily enough, they didn't give us the small sample jars such as the one above, but massive 500ml ones. A bunch of monkeys came back from the men's room with impossible amounts of steaming urine. Sigh. Sterile or no, it's sort of weird.
That gives me bad memories of a first year prac.
Hey if you don't want to buy Gray's you can use the 1918 online version for free.
I mean the body can't change that much in under 100 years.
Hope your exam on the 25th went well.
