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!
The deeply grateful,
