Digestive enzymes in the blood...?!

"Chymotrypsinogen is secreted by the pancreas and enters the duodenum via the blood stream."

Did it never occur to the student that the last thing you want is to have protein-digesting enzymes in your blood?! They would digest all your blood cells, rendering you unable to transport oxygen to your tissues and you would die.

  1. Yes, but that would never have crossed the student's mind. I shudder to think that there is a small chance that one day, I might get treated by this student...
