Alien brain


My staff knows that I get really excited when there is a mass that I will be able to poke (oh yeah, should be professional – “take an aspirate of”). The other day I had one to check and on first look, it seemed like a straight forward cyst full of liquid. I cleaned the area with my antibacterial soap and in went my needle. Once all the fluid was out, I could feel there was more tissue moving around. I used both hands to feel around it, when……out it birthed. Everyone in the room, including the dog, just looked at me as I sat on the floor in complete disbelief. It looked like I had a little alien brain in my hand.

I will keep you posted on the alien as it is being sent away for histopathology.
