The fascinating human body

I have always loved anatomy. So many parts to a human and the things they can do! I saw this infographic recently on how cadavers are used to help people with reconstructive surgeries.

I heard about this story on the way to work the other day. Not sure who or what the radio folks were reading, but after a search, I found this blog post from the Mayo Clinic. Transplant patients in this article got better lung function playing the harmonica. There was also another article I found about a guy who created a therapeutic harmonica (that always sounds good) called the Pulmonica. Sounds like a novel way to get people to actually do some exercises (since few ever like that incentive spirometer anyway).

Hope you enjoy! Who knows...you could have a bluegrass musician on your unit before you know it.
