meatus

I was so excited to use my new moulage scars and blood in our Emergency Department yesterday. However my still lack of medical terminology reared its ugly head again. Our 'patient' had been crushed between a vehicle and wall and had a fractured pelvis.
I applied some bruising to the pelvic area and the ED Educator said I would also need to apply some blood to his meatus.... I rushed for my tube of gooey blood and became stuck... "Where is the meatus?" I asked.... she replied with a smirk "The end of his penis." 
Of course that wasn't the end to my embarrassment as once applied I had to blow the blood dry!

blood and guts

Who would have known I would have to  learn to be a makeup artist? Gore is hard to find when it's not Halloween but managed to find this stuff in the UK!
