so today was my first time in the cadaver lab at my new school. seeing and touching and cutting open dead people is nothing like watching gray’s anatomy. the smell is so strong i had to chew gum to get the taste out of my mouth. Its not scary really though some parts are kind of gross. The last picture is kind of shitty but its the best i could get of our actual cadaver, we named him jim then tore into his back muscles.(photos aren’t exactly allowed in cadaver lab) i go to the fucking coolest massage school ever.
OMFG that one has a boner
its actually not uncommon in corpses…. some of them actually post mortem ejaculate too… but thats an unrelated phenamon though still pretty creepy

From “The Ice Storm”:
Mikey Carver: Because of molecules we are connected to the outside world from our bodies. Like when you smell things, because when you smell a smell it’s not really a smell, it’s a part of the object that has come off of it, molecules. So when you smell something bad, it’s like in a way you’re eating it. This is why you should not really smell things, in the same way that you don’t eat everything in the world around you because as a smell, it gets inside of you. So the next time you go into the bathroom after someone else has been there, remember what kinds of molecules you are in fact eating.
Mentholatum under the nose works too. It gets really bad when you open the stomach or intestines. That’s a special kind of smell and not at all what I want to eat.
I’ve always wondered at people who hold their nose when something smells really bad. I can take almost any smell as long as I keep my mouth closed. Smelling is one thing, tasting is much worse.
I am reminded of the first “Silent Hill” game
I’m sure /b/ would love this.
This is an amazing career choice.
Hey Ori, is this required for MT certification? I’ve been pondering the merits of getting one for some after-hours meddling, but the idea of being forced to attend “Cadaver Lab 501” would be a real downer.
depends on the state and program you’re in. at my school this is manditory for a degree, but not for certification
Sweet, I dodged the bullet on that one! (^O^)/
Also: A degree? I thought those were only offered for the PT side. Either way, study hard and good luck!
Don’t mind me in the corner throwing up. Although I want to be an Archaeologist, but that is dealing with bones of dead people.
