We left Bonn early on Tuesday and made out way to Hanover.
Going to the hospital and watching surgery was amazing.  I watched an operation where the arotic vavle was being replaced with a valve from a pig.  I was really worried that it would bother me but I was pleased to find out it didn't.  It was a little embarassing having to take off all our clothes minus our underware and just stand around.  When I finally got into the OR I completly forgot.   The person was obease and the yellow/oranage fat was pretty nasty but it was interesting watching the surgon work.  I really apperciated being able to watch and ask questions.  I have been studying biomedical engineering for 4 years now and I was thrilled to see a device saving a life.  When the heart was finally filled back with blood it was nothing short of a mircle.  I watched a humar heart beat! 
Today we went to the vet school and then the department for pathology.  I enjoyed the vet clinic.  I find it sader to me to see sick animals because you can see that they are scared and don't really understand what is happening.  I am not sure what the reason for the pathology department visit was.  I think that might be my least favorite part of the program. 
I am excited for tomorrow.  I think it is important to see a concentration camp.  We should always remember the past even if it is something horrible and sad.
