Happy Birthday to actor, Sam Heughan, born April 30, 1980, an auspicious day indeed! April 30th is the eve of the Gaelic festival Beltane. Thank you for your amazing skills in bringing  Jamie Fraser to life before our very eyes!

Happy Birthday to our highland hero, James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser, born May 1, 1721: another auspicious day indeed! May 1st is Beltane, a fire festival day and the beginning of summer in that tradition. Jamie, thank you for being a man that any woman would be honored to love!

The deeply grateful,

No, Jamie Doesn’t Have Ringworm

The Outlander Anatomy students are wonderful! I get all sorts of fantastic questions and funny anecdotes. It’s such a pleasure to be part of this passionate community!

One comment from a student on Facebook has tickled my funny bone all week! She wondered if Jamie had ringworm in Episode 109, The Reckoning.

It’s a great and creative comment and clearly, our student knows it isn’t ringworm. But, this presents a great opportunity to learn more about the body! Ringworm is a fungal infection and has a round, whorl shape. The patches are red and scaly and the outer rim is often more red than the center so it’s easy to understand why this could be mistaken for ringworm at first glance.

But, no, it’s the gunshot wound scar that you’ll find referenced in Anatomy Lesson 19 and Anatomy Lesson 3.

Hope you enjoyed this comment as much as I have!
