That reminds me of a phrase I used once trying to convey the problems of exposure and orientation in trans-atrial surgery. I said it was like operating inside of the vagina. It took a while to get back to the discussion.

Well, I have a very OT statement - when we were doing our first degloved
CMV's one of my colleagues who was a  Casanova  summed it up in a succinct
manner - Gosh the mitral valve feels like a pu@#y (a baby feline!!). This
had us all in splits. So much for palpation!!!
Anyway feeling the mitral valve beating is something unforgettablw.
