MAJOR DISCOVERY! A mistake in a surgical textbook. LOL. Not that it's a life and death mistake, but it would be if we answered that in our Finals. LOL.
See, this inguinal hernia thing, it's been causing a lot of confusion since I was in my first year of clinical schools. Was scolded upside down for not knowing the anatomical landmark of where the deep inguinal ring is. Because, well, I got it all mixed up. Pubic tubercle? Pubic symphysis? Mid inguinal point? Midline of inguinal ligament? @.@
But the mistake that I spotted in the book, is not even the confusion of mid-inguinal point and midline of inguinal ligament. It's just probably a mistake that escaped the eye of the reviewer. The 7th line in the picture; it should be pubic tubercle and ASIS, not pubic symphysis, that would be the bone and nothing there.
Well. Don't get me do you? LOL.
Nevermind. I'm just self-entertaining.

OK too confusing for me! LOL!

+Ant+
haha it thought pubic symphysis was the bones near the pelvic girdles?
btw i think im ending up in medicine anyway. dentistry is just way too boring.
lifeless and it sounds to be a doc, but i think i will enjoy the time being away from home~
Cannot study medicine....
Totally don't get it.
you sir are correct. the midpoint of inguinal ligament is between the ASIS and pubic tubercle.
i don't think it's a small mistake, considering that surgery is all about finding surface landmarks and cutting them open.
Hey, so many fellas seem not to know what it should be and why it went wrong. Grandma lagi pening. How to prevent hernia would be nice to hear.
