  1. That. Was the funniest thing I have read all week.

    I was the group where only one person would show up. Also maybe the incompetent group.... but only on the head, I swear! My cadaver was the one that would get tagged with things like "aorta" because we had destroyed everything else.

  2. Thanks :)

    This is totally going to give me away if someone from my old med school class sees it, cuz I originally drew this for our humor magazine circa 2002. I took out all the inside jokes though, except for the guy who dresses up like a cow.

  4. Good drawing job!

    I only did pig dissection in high school. Advantage: I was less squeamish than the other girls. Disadvantage: I had the surgical 'touch' of a chainsaw killer.

  5. Hilarious! I was the group where only one person showed up - one was too lazy, the other fell in love and hung out at her table (they married and divorced during med school) and the other guy dropped out in the middle of the semester.

    I, like old md girl, turned incompetent through stress and abandonment - I sure didn't want to be slow. I guess my path residency was a five year penance - doing over a hundred autopsies finally caught me up:)

  6. We were probably elements of every group, except of course for the hardcore surgery group. Probably primarily the slow group though.

  7. I was at the smelly table. The first day everybody was like, "hey, yours looks better than everybody else's! it must be fresher!" And then eventually the horrifying realization that it looked fresher because it seemed to have not known the kiss of formalin. . .cutting open the abdomen was truly traumatic.

  8. Unprepared.Hands.Down.( Which as it turned out-led to me taking an " incomplete " and finishing
    ( read: remediating without evidence on my transcript ) the course during the summer:during which I transitioned to the lone person. I did, however, really learn anatomy.

  9. I don't quite see my group in any of these Fizzy. I guess we were All Girls + One Guy. We had a lot of fun with the poor fellow (remember rectal dissection and the tampon?). I hated first year but I did actually have a lot of fun with that group.

    I did *definitely* see some of these groups surrounding us however. Except for the one with the guy in the cow outfit. I am so jealous.

  10. Hilarious! I think my group may fit multiple panels, depending on which body part was being dissected. Head and neck was definitely the "one person group". I remember I dissected out a beautiful ansa cervicalis and sadly, no one was there to see it.

    With your permission Fizzy, I'd love to post a link to this page in my blog.
    Thanks!

  12. I was in the all male group. One guy just kept making obscene, highly disgusting comments. Usually pretty funny though. Also, my body was pereinally infested with maggots.

  14. SO funny ... my lab group is missing though ... we were randomly assigned and I ended up in a group with a married couple who felt it necessary to hold hands and make out. Gross. Who wants to make out surrounded by dead bodies?
