We're going to get to see the inner workings of this man, right?

OK, so when they take the sheet off the body, guess what?

They had to technologically blur over his penis.

2. You're kidding, right?

I mean it is an autopsy for heaven's sake.

I actually find medical procedures fascinating.

3. Nope, not kidding

They're not showing as much of the actual process as I had hoped. So far it's rather disappointing.

I had thought of going into mortuary science at one point, so this type of stuff is interesting to me.

4. My husband was a pathologist

I actually got to know him when I was watching autopsies as study for nursing school. I would go in the morgue during my lunch hour and eat lunch while watching. It is fascinating, a lot cooler than surgery because you take all the stuff (that is a medical term ya know) out.

7. Weird!

Years ago, Ed Uthman (the same pathologist from the autopsy link) was an acquaintance of my parents. We adopted a kitten from him and his wife when I was growing up.

Of all the things I never expected to see in a DU thread . . .

8. why are they showing autopsies on TV?

there's just no reason for that.

Oh, right, except for the fact that TV has no standards whatsoever.
