Why I Won't be a Nurse or a Doctor...

...because this literally sets my stomach to churning with sympathy pains and extreme revulsion. Not just the picture - go watch the damn video...ugh! There's something really wrong with P.Z. that he finds this so exciting.

"The New England Journal of Medicine sometimes provides great stuff to read over breakfast, like this story of a man who returned from a trip to Hungary with his guts infested with worms, Enterobius vermicularis. OK, so it's not much of a story…but the cool thing is that they provide a movie clip of his colonoscopy, and you can watch the worms writhe. (via Over My Med Body)"
