Thanks, rookie doctors

Cor. It's amazing what you can find out on the web, innit? On my quest to find out more about suturing techniques and things to practice on, I found some random suggestions for materials to try on an old student doctor forum:

• Banana peels
• Grapes 
• Latex glove
• Pig's feet
• Chicken breasts
• Thick-sliced deli turkey
• Graph paper
• Your thighs (yikes)

Elsewhere, Rookie Doctor was rather useful. He led me here, to the Boston University School of Medicine's suturing basics. There's a rather lovely page full of new words for me to learn and pictures of old surgical teaching tools. I'm particularly liking Wound Man:
