Very weird. I dont see how people can cut up bodies then head off for a lunch break using the same hands to eat. :O~~~

You don't think of the bodies as real people, just objects (that's how I don't puke ;D)

Youre 16... When have you dealt with corpses???

Not exactly corpses, but I did med research as my work exp :D
And a relative of mine is one of the state coroners

It does creep me out occasionally when I go eat. After my first dissection, I had brought pork ribs which looked eerily similar to flesh for lunch. Decided to pass on those for that day. But yeh, you kind of zone out while you're actually dissecting and as someone said, you more regard it as an object than a person. That is, until you look at their face again and get a reminder.

Im only used to treating live people as objects. :P
It must be weird thinking that they have a family somewhere and youre pulling them apart as a second year uni kid.
Is it true that you have to purchase your own corpse and you keep it for the year? Has anyone ever gotten attached to their corpse? :lol:
I also heard women can only have a female corpse and men can only have a male one, or vice versa...

Nah, the uni purchases them (well, with our fees I guess), and each tute group gets their own body that we keep for the year. Don't think anyone's ever gotten 'attached' to their cadaver (yes, it's a better word to use than merely 'corpse'), but some tutes give their cadavers pet names. The thing about gender definitely isn't true at Monash. It's probably something that used to exist when Medicine was highly paternal and society was more strict on these kinds of things.

The lecturer goes out and suffocates hobos with a plastic sheet.
