Chest Tubes or Bacon?

The trauma surgeon was doing an excellent job lecturing to us about chest tube insertion but as soon as the pig rolled in-- all eyes were on the bacon.

He demonstrated to the class how to insert a chest tube and then we went to the lab and tried it ourselves.  Let's just say that inserting a chest tube is not as easy as it looks.  If I ever have to do this on a real human being-- help me.
