This video by edusurg clinics is a continuation of the basics of colon and rectal cancer surgery anatomy

Superior and inferior mesenteric artery (Part 1 of applied anatomy of colo-rectum) - https://youtu.be/XNX7ae3Nyg0

Part 2 (Lymph nodes and staging, for colon) - https://youtu.be/WPHGvS61VR0

The current video focuses on the applied anatomy of the rectum, where Dr. Gunjan Desai from Edusurg Clinics describes the fine points relevant to rectal cancer surgery. The Upper, middle and lower rectum are clearly defined and intra-peritoneal and extra-peritoneal rectal tumors are segregated based on crystal clear landmarks.

The video then discusses about mesorectum and total mesorectal excision. This is followed by a discussion on upper, middle, and lower rectal cancers and a part of modified Rullier Classification is also discussed here. The video is an anatomy masterclass for applied aspects of the rectum.

Unfortunately today I have more bad news about Donut, and that's that she has been diagnosed with a pituitary gland tumor. I was able to get her in for a steroid shot within hours of symptoms popping up, and she is now thankfully doing well. Currently she is on oral prednisone, doxycycline, and cabergoline - the pred is to manage brain inflammation, the doxy is to combat the immune suppression effects of the pred, and the cabergoline is to hopefully slow the growth and possibly even shrink the PT if it is prolactin based (which most rat PT's are). Unfortunately all pituitary gland tumors in rats are ultimately fatal, but with treatment you can get back weeks or even months. Its impossible to say how long Donut has left, but I (and our amazing vet) will be fighting for her, and once the meds stop helping, she will be humanely put to sleep.

Lyrics:
I could stand here 
And try to tell you 
I found my way here on my own 
Brought to life this heart of stone 
Made up my own mind 
To change my own life 
Working my own way to good 
As if anybody could 
 
But the truth is I’ve been broken since my very first breath 
And the truth is I’ve been wandering since my very first step 
 
I know the only reason 
I can stand here unashamed 
Is not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
There’s no way that I could earn it 
Praise God my debt is paid 
It’s not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

 
I still remember 
The day He found me 
6 feet under all my shame 
I heard Him call me out by name 
Hallelujah 
The cross has spoken 
Jesus my Savior bled and died 
To bring this deadman back to life 
 
I know the only reason 
I can stand here unashamed 
Is not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
There’s no way that I could earn it 
Praise God my debt is paid 
It’s not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

 
Just as desperate for you now 
As I was back then 
If I ever should forget 
Remind me once again 
Just as desperate for you now 
As I was back then 
If I ever should forget 
Remind me once again 
Once again

I know the only reason 
I can stand here unashamed 
Is not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
There’s no way that I could earn it 
Praise God my debt is paid 
It’s not because I’m worthy 
It’s all because of mercy 
 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

It’s not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy
Hallelujah
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

https://www.facebook.com/group....s/Healingbreastimpla
Documentary “Bleeding Edge”- talks about medical implant devices
**I HAVE YET TO READ** Informed Consent by John A. Byrne- Worked for Dow Corning and discusses the alleged cover-up behind breast implants.

The doctor I saw for my breast explant was Dr. Chun in Newport Beach. I am not affiliated in anyway with him and I do not earn anything if you decide to go see him. I HIGHLY recommend him. He is the only doctor I would trust with my life and in my particular case with my deformity. He did an amazing job, seeing how complicated my case was and the risk of me losing skin. I am very satisfied with my physical results and I am also 70% better after explanting. I recognize I had these implants in my body for over 5 years and the detoxing has just begun. I asked to be put on a cancellation list and my explant surgery was rescheduled a whole year earlier. Yes, he is a very very busy man and the list to explant is a very long one. I understand the frustration and stress you can feel knowing you want to remove them asap so that is my biggest take away from all of this on top of always trusting your surgeon. If I had decided to go under the breast fold I would probably not have skin on the left side of my breast today. ♡

If I can be of any at ALL assistance to you in anyway, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I am available through Instagram/ Twitter and you are more than welcome to DM me. I will also be doing follow up videos on this channel and even more likely my vlog channel. I am here for you ♡
