I was in nursing student in my maternity clinical rotation one morning reporting to my instructor who and what my patient assignment was. I was stunned at my case and kept bragging to everyone and my instructor how my patient had a thyroid in her uterus!
My instructor in turn looked at me and just asked with her condescending voice, “Grace, where is your thyroid???” After she made me feel back down to earth, I thought about it, and remembered, “Oh, it’s in the neck.” She said, “Yes, that in her uterus, is not a thyroid, it’s a fibroid (a tumor).”
