Thread Name: Folk songs appropriate for medical students
Subject: RE: Folk songs appropriate for medical students
I once had a physics prof who taught us a song to the tune of Men of Harlech, which incorporated some formulas to memorise.
Reviewing anatomy and physiology on-line today, I found a muscle song included in the outline notes at http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~revie/notes/bio131/apch10.htm
If you don't want to read all the notes do a search for the word "song" on the page. I expect you may find other songs if you go to the home page and look through the other biology notes at this site.

I was at a waulking song workshop with Anna Martin recently. She showed us how the songs kept the rhythyms for fulling the tweed and I was wondering if I could work up a song sequence to do massage by. There's a challenge for someone, the rhythyms have to flow from effleurage through to hacking and cupping and back to effleurage. ... although I've always said I don't like to hear music while giving or receiving massage, that it's too distracting.
