A2: Kidneys

Zach London, an Ann Arbor resident and UM neurologist, posts the latest installment of his blog, The Hard Taco Digest. The entry reflects on an incident in a renal pathophysiology course in medical school: ”We heard rumors from the class ahead of us, rumors which filled us with wonder and fear. The students, they told us, would be divided into four groups: beer, Pepsi, water, and broth. We would be obligated to drink as much of the assigned beverage as we could endure, collect our urine, and run tests on it. Through this, we would learn about how the human kidney handles alcohol, caffeine, and salt. Also, we would get to see what our classmates’ pee looked like, so there was that.” [Source]
