- Why surgeons are operating on clementines

The peel, pith and segments of a citrus fruit bear remarkable similarities to the kinds of tissues encountered in many surgeries, and doctors say it's better to practice procedures on the fruit than on patients. "You can find clementines or satsumas or tangerine variations all over the world," says Pamela Andreatta of the University of Michigan Medical School. "You can go out and pick them off a tree, and it costs very little or nothing ... and yet it's very advanced training." National Public Radio (text and audio)/Shots blog
