This artist originally does these by hand 
but then recreates (for sale) with laser. Amazing work I think !

So amazing
Teaching high-school anatomy tomorrow, and will be opening the chest and showing the heart/lungs/etcā¦ I teach tomorrow by myself and thursday my wife will be joining me (she does the abdomen, since sheās a veterinary general surgeon) before she has to operate in the afternoon, because a family that dissect together, stays togetherā¦
WARNING: Strong Stomached Folks Only:
This time the dog had heart worms when I dissected the heart out!

Snicker bars are okay during autopsies but I draw the line at pulled pork BBQ sandwiches

Iām actually kinda sad, because the hospital until this year had āopenā autopsies for the physicians so we could go and see and learn from the pathology team (I went almost every thursday - and took my summer high-school interns too). Unfortunately the autopsy suite got cited by OSHA as overexposing us all (particularly the pathology residents) to formalin and unless the ventilation was upgraded (which was priced at $2m) they had to close down the open autopsy, and now just the path team does it wearing PAPRsā¦ A real learning opportunity missed (pictures just arenāt the same)

It used to be a requirement for advanced certifications in the EMT ranks here in CT usually for national registry or advanced life support but with the problems the state has been having with its lab, having outsiders is no longer encouraged. Itās interesting the reactions people have to them vs slogging through body parts on the side of the road at accident scenes.
At least your wife is in the same business. It drove my wife crazy going to parties where half the crowd were on the ambulance squad and the other weāre spouses - they didnāt get how we could be making jokes about guts & gore

I worked with a woman who had been an EMT. She told the story of being called out to a domestic dispute with a reported disemboweling. When they got there the wife/girlfriend had slashed him across the stomach with a kitchen knife, but being morbidly obese the knife wasnāt long enough to make it through the fat layer. Moral of the story: skinny people need to be more considerate when arguing with others.
I could be wrong about the moral, but I donāt think so.
