Rock Bands
I would just like to state for the record that medical school provides an insane number of terms that would make great names for bands. Dave Barry would be proud. I find it works best if you imagine a British punk singer on stage, shouting out, “Hello Chicago, we are [insert band name here]!” A partial list:
* Infundibulum
* Zona Pellucida
* The Acromions
* Aponeurosis
* Secondary Granules
* Phrenic
* Dynein
* Neural Crest
Feel free to add your own.
Well, this goes back to freshman chemistry, and at least one other girl on my floor thought it was hysterical as well. Do you remember Lewis symbols? THey are the eight little dots that are supposed to represent the inner orbit of electrons around certain atoms…the Octet Rule states that only eight electrons can occupy the inner orbit at any one time.
Apparently, the textbook author was enamored with a guy named Lewis Symbols and his musical Octet, because one of the chapter subheadings was:
“Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule!”
Of course, we can’t have a discussion about medical names for bands without bringing up the old chestnut, Spinal Tap.
They may have possibly started the whole thing.
