Just in case you were wondering. . .

D just read this from a surgical text, "A normal parathyroid gland weighs 40 milligrams and looks like the tongue of a jaundiced hummingbird."

Thank you, authors.  Now D knows exactly what to look for next time he operates on a parathyroid gland.

Is that a joke?! That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard! Who knew that hummingbirds could be jaundiced, or that they even had tongues for that matter?

Doesn't everybody know that? Maybe D should go back to Medical School.
