What a brilliant morning I've had.
I was invited up to the Histology department where a nice lady gave me a tour.
It wasn't long before she pulled out peoples different body parts all in a solution called Formalin before they were sliced & diced.
First on the slab was part of a tumerous lung and I slipped on the gloves to have a good poke around.
It was quite scary to think I had my had hand gripping a persons cancer that they've had removed.
Next on the slab was a womans breast which was quite a shock and has put me off breasts for a bit.
All the fat inside looked exactly like sweetcorn with the same colour :eek:
Turning the breast over once again showed the tumour and how hard it was.
I then had my hand up somebody's poo hole in their colon and that was followed by livers, kidneys and other assorted bits ready for slicing & dicing.
Truly one of the most amazing days I've had.

Yesterday was also brilliant.
I'd been invited up to A&E and escorted around the whole process of patients coming into A&E and where they are sent depending on the 5 different factors of Triage.
In the afternoon I spent a couple of hours in the Renal dept watching people having Kidney Dialysis.
I love my job.

I give my permission for you to post as many Jesus pics as you like :D
 
I have to say, given the chance to do what you did today, I'd have to give it a miss ;)

Lucky for you enjoying your work though!
 
Today was even better.
Just got back from Keele Uni Medical School and they allowed me in with 12 Cadavers and let me loose with a knife.
They allowed me to cut a liver out of some dead persons body.
 
:) Fun eh, remind me of my pathology degree..ugh formaldehyde when hungover is not a pleasant experience :D

Sounds a bit unprofessional to me. I'm quite happy to leave my body for research or organ donation, but the thought of it being hacked at for some random office guys ammusment is quite frankly disturbing.

PK!

In all fairness most med/biomed/anatomy students are like that at first as well. It's a novel experience.
