anatomy for beginners!
Discussion
So who'll be watching?!!!
I'll have to record it but definately want to see them all (on each evenin mon-thurs this week).
Sounds great!
Anatomist Gunther von Hagens and pathologist John Lee begin a series of anatomy classes, including a human dissection filmed before an invited audience. This first programme investigates movement. Dr von Hagens dissects a man he knew, removing the skin in a single piece to enable a demonstration of muscle movement. Then the skull is opened and the spinal cord and sciatic nerve removed in a single piece.

Providing Von Haagens continues to work on dead bodies and not the other kind, I'll still keep watching his progress as artist/anatomist.
Is it true he can't get his bodies legally over here so has to buy them in from the far east.
Government missing out some possible taxation there.

Oh Yes! Just the clip of the lungs being reinflated in an open chest cavity has me hooked. 
Besides, I sat and watched major orthognathic surgery on Discovery channel and I'm due to have this done myself any time soon. Thank god I don't have to have my upper jaw moved! I didn't think that you could actually remove your upper jaw from your skull!!
I'm just having my lower jaw advanced. Already been cancelled twice but third time lucky, maybe.

in me, cos it certainly was hiding in my 2 years at college! 
Human dissection is meant to be a rather smelly sport. One of my mates is a medic and they got to hack up a corpse. It is meant to smell of a cross between sick and something else which I forget.
From my knowledge of the Newcastle University medical posse, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BODY TO MEDICAL SCIENCE. The stories are totally disturbing. From what I heard about which I won't repeat due to potential consquences, some students should have been strung up.

What med students say they do, and what they do may not have a close relationship. My med student daughter (now qualified and patching up folks in Oz) spoke very kindly of her 'volunteer'. She actually went to his funeral when the body had been finished with. Now what she learned and what he helped her learn is stuiching the ears back on drunken Aussies.
You have to watch it!
