As the saying goes, “all means are good in war”, the teacher of the department of HDT, Kurmanaliev N.K., using an unusual method, namely the use of a banana to demonstrate a nodal suture, consolidated the practical part of the lesson on the subject “Surgical Diseases 3” for 6th year students. The department also has imitations for training seams, which are regularly used by teachers of the department in the classroom. But as Nurlan Kambaralievich explained, the banana peel is more tender and soft and convenient to use.
