More you won't hear in Law School

We had a lecture in facial anatomy and in particular the plastic surgery component of it. The doc presented a case of a patient who was not able to smile on one side due to muscle atrophy/nerve damage.

future surgical resident "Come on. You've got to be thinking of switching out of family to surgery! He just made that guy able to smile!"

astute future emerg resident "sometimes the reasons for a problem with smiles are much deeper than plastics can fit"

me "and that's why I have Prozac!"
(to be clear, this is to hand out to my patients, in my family practice office)
