The episode begins with some feels as I walk you through something that happened to me this past week in the world of art and my local community - I learned a bunch about the benefit-of-the-doubt (grace) - along with a more personal challenge I've been facing - procrastination (can you relate??). Then, I turn to another important place that medical illustration is done - the operating room (OR). Surgeries need to be drawn for a variety of reasons but usually it all boils down to teaching. In this episode, I share what that experience is like along with a few anecdotes from my time in the OR over the last two decades. And lastly I come to one of the most JAW-DROPPING bits of anatomical knowledge I have to share - just what is the deal with eye (iris) color?? It might not be at all what you think - especially if you have a color OTHER than brown. Oooo! The mystery!
