James H. Macleod's "A Method of Proctocology"
Oh gaaaawd, at lunch today I was feeling anti-social so went up to the quiet study area of GlasUni's EPIC 12 floor library to just sit quietly and read some more of Stephen Baxter's Exultant - not a bad book, though it's remarkable the really stupid conclusions people come to in it every now and again ("men living with their parents after adolescence + a few thousand years = Eusociality", apparently) but not as bad or racist or crazy pants as I'd been led to believe all of baxter's books were.
The slight trouble i had this lunchtime though was that I had forgotten the damn book, but I'm in a library right? So not a problem, just go to the stacks, see if there's anything interesting there.
I immediately find James H. Macleod's A Method of Proctocology, and remembered that question from the surveyfail poll about "doing research for slash" and thoght, fuck it, the worst that'll happen is that I'll be grossed out, so I take it down with the intent of making some notes about the (occasionally impacted) subject matter.
This is what my page of notes look like:
you can't tell I have a head cold that is making thinking a somewhat laborous activity can you?
Though seriously, if you want to know the correct way of sticking various things up people's bums it's a book worth buying - the diagrams made me loudly snort laugh but are very instructive and well explained by the book's text.

This is what my page of notes look like:
Anorrectum [underlined]
Upper-limit; Anal canal
Jack/Cthulhu!! (best idea ever!) [in response to the mention of the "squamous epithelium" within the rectum]
The...
"Occult blood Detirmination"
"Rectal valves of Houston" [potential J/C fic title - occult blood detirmination is about actually examining the anorectum and stools for blood, while hte rectal valves of Houston are the little valves above and made up of the dentate line of the anus that are sort of rectum facing flaps that enable you to not just constantly shit yourself - of course the notion of TW going to Houston, Texas and engaging in Deep One proctocology is nice also]
With the feather he pushed past the anal verge and through the anal canal, and began to tickle the muted folds of the dentate line [random fragment based on a cross section of an anus, the dentate line is the rippled bit that is generally recognised as the arsehole by most laypersons - strictly speaking the anorectum begins further out than that, as there's mucus glands and stuff and a sort of very shallow tube like structure leading to it]
tumors -
polypoid or
sessile
benign lymphoma - lie in lower third of rectum,
usually sessil, some pedunculated
[notes on polyps of anorectum/colon]
F-polyp life cycle [underlined]
1) Leiomyoma - 1 - 2 cm, grows a firm submucosal nodule, dies if removed.
2)lipoma - ileocecal, but also occurs in recum. soft, lobulated tumors, yellowish tinge with intact overlaying mucosa.
3)lymphosarcoma - (malignant lymphomas) recticulum-cell carcoma, hodkin's disease. Rare, mainly in rectum and ileocecal
pedunculated/
/sessile polyps
squamous
epithelium
polyps of colon + cthluhu = flying polyps
