Rudolf visits the vet.

Proof that the pathology department at UCD is officially out of control:

"Why was Rudolf's nose so red?
a) He had a chronic drinking problem (toppling hot buttered rum to keep warm at the North Pole).
b) He had a congenital hamartoma.
c) He had a hemangiosarcoma.
d) He had a cold (those long holiday flights, you know)
e) He had a hematoma (those other reindeer were really jealous)"
-taken from an old final exam. Wow.

I'm going with the hemangiosarcoma...although I don't think they glow. What do you think?

You think haemangiosarcoma? I'm thinking congenital hemartoma. They're kinda shiny.

"... had a very shiny nose, and if you ever saw it, you could even say it glowed"


1 path exam done, one to go, and the dang pharm/anaestheisa/diagnostic imaging extravaganza is tomorrow!
