Do Med students do practicals on corpses? (1 Viewer)

[69^boi]

juz wondering since med students learn about the human body & so forth, do
university use corpses donated from hospitals as praticals and educational aids?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

yes, they are called cadavers (not sure about spelling sorry).... not just med students use them..... occ therapy, physio, speech pathology, health science blah blah blah..... heaps of those sorts of degrees use cadavers.

 

[69^boi]

give me the chills man, do students feel like sick or sumfin after using it?

 

[Lexicographer]

Hee cadavers! Yes, but some med schools use them more than others. At Newcastle for example you don't get full cadavers, just bits in big jars.

do you want them to practice on you ?

 

[Slidey]

Cool. I'm gonna donate my corpse to the university I go to.

 

[kimmeh]

If you donate your body to the uni, they pay for all your funeral fees

 

[inasero]

They don't. They merely pay for your cremation fees. The funeral is a formal event in which people gather to remember the deceased.

I could post cadaveric pictures from my textbook here...but I think Robert (Lexicographer) would go the way of political correctness and pull it off straight away. If you really wanna see then I can send to you via e-mail. But yeah first time I put the scalpel to the flesh, I seriously felt like vomiting and crying at the same time. Now nobody gives and we can crack jokes whilst dissecting and still go out after a session to enjoy a nice hearty lunch.

By the way I feel kinda bad saying this but the bodies look like chunks of meat after a while. Hope I haven't put anybody off dinner

 

[Lexicographer]

Hmm if you add a link to cadaver photos that should be fine. It's not me that'd take the photos down, it's Laz. Some people would be seriously offended (and remember the story of the student who found his own grandma on the slab).

I know what you mean about the meat though. No difference between bovine muscle tissue and simian, just size. It all looks the same.

By the way, you don't need to go very far to see photos of cadavers. They put worse up on www.rotten.com and www.ogrish.org anyway.

Rather, I find that the formalin makes me feel really hungry.

But anyway, at UNSW we use already dissected sections of cadavers.

Is that so? Do you guys use pots as well? In Monash we get whole cadavers 'fresh' off the slab.

don't go there girlfriend...

There's the Anatomy Museum and the Pathology Museum with pots.

don't go there girlfriend...

Yeah. Don't change the topic to something sick. That wasn't intended to be taken like that...

presented limbs

note i abhor anatomy.. and no longer want to aspire to ever do surgery..

Everyone finds it somewhat amusing that I want to do OT, and therefore will have anatomy labs, but yet chucked my guts up whilst dissecting a rat in the bio lab this year (actually, everyone found the entire event somewhat amusing, but thats another story)
