The Liposuction One Is Our Fave

Sometimes us undergrads forget about all of the impressive post-grad stuff Penn's involved with. For example, despite our horrific student health experiences ("Are you sure you're not pregnant?" "I just told you my throat feels scratchy!"), Penn has an impressive health care system, no doubt due to their sick med school.

So we were weirded out to stumble upon the Medical Animation Library on the Penn Health site. You click on any number of bodily functions (snoring!), health ailments (gout!), or surgical procedures (breast lifts!) and are routed to an animated video on the topic. We guess this is supposed to inform patients and maybe keep down patient flow, a la Web MD? (By the way, the videos are seemingly lifted from A.D.A.M. The Inside Story, the awesome computer game our doctor aunt got for us before she realized science wasn't our thing.)
