Cadavers



So... I know ....what is up with the creepy pictures?! Well I'm taking an anatomy lab and we are currently working with two cadavers in class and it is giving me this whole weird outlook on life. The more I work with them the more I realize how our bodies are simply a container holding something beyond our knowledge. I know that sounds so strange, but its odd looking at such a lifeless mass and thinking about how that used to be a human just like me. Have any of you worked with cadavers? Gosh it is such a strange feeling.

  1. You are so silly. I have worked on about 8 different cadavers and it is definitely a strange, strange thing. From my experience, they do not even seem like humans, which for me was better. I had a hard time with the whole thing, especially the formaldehyde odor. I will admit that I gagged a few times. I suppose the best advice I can give you is to just not think about what you are working with.
