anatomy: noun the science dealing with the structure of animals and plants

I had to learn early on in life if I was going to maintain health, I was going to have to become my own body’s scientist.

Permit me to tell my story.

In my early teens (13 to be exact), we didn’t have a whole lot of money. Visits to the doctor required a trip to the local state run clinic.
