I just saw it today! It was pretty cool. Too many people though. It was hard to see everything.

Anyone who likes biology should go see it. Seriously cool.

We had a cadaver who was split down the middle into left and right sections from the top of his head to his waist. You could see his nose hairs all the way up the nostril because his head was split perfectly in two, and that is a real actual carcass in front of you.

that?s nothing. On my cadaver we cut out her clit. I had no idea it was so big. Dr. Graffenberg was a genius!!!

you forget, with plastic there is no smell. my cadaver was pretty rank when we were done with her. Vicks was my best friend during that time.

:shocked:

Guess I just find it interesting rather than disgusting.

Just amazes me to think whats insides us that all has to keep working to keep us going.

I went to the Body World 2 exhibition that was here in Denver. It was awesome. Definitely get the audio tour. It's worth every penny, especially if you have some knowledge of cell biology and human anatomy.

Yeah. I have heard some pretty gory stuff.

For instance when you do dissection, be prepared to buy some cheap comfortable shoes, because after you use them, the body grease and soil from the floor seeps in to the shoes and they become unusable for anything other than med work.

nah, your shoes don't really get messed up unless your lab is messy or not cleaned regularly which they are. I actually wore flip flops to gross lab a few times despite the risk of someone dropping a scalpel into my foot. Best memory was trying to yank the skull cap off our cadaver w/ full force and nearly popping out the whole brain with it because the dura was stuck so tight.

Yum....

Any of you guys ever watch OR-Live stuff?

Pretty cool. I was at a coffee shop eating a turnover and studying while watching this. People kept giving me weird looks, like how can you eat and watch a surgery.
