1) Please do not refer to the bodies as �cadavers� in front of their families
2) During your speech, do not refer to the fact that the bodies were cut up, cut on, or cut off in any way.
3) Please do not do stupid shit on behalf of all of the medical students
In case you have not figured it out, all of the above were done.
1) The word cadaver was used at least 5 times
2) One of the anatomy professors thought it appropriate to give a short history of the study of anatomy and enlightened us all by telling us that the word �anatomy� comes from the Greek word for �to cut up.� Now how fucking pleasant is that?
3) There was a performance by The Doctor�s Notes. Now I am not making this shit up, but some students from my class decided to get together and form an a cappella singing group called The Doctor�s Notes. I kid you not. Taken from their website:
�The Doctor's Notes is a co-ed medical student acapella [sic] group. We sing on hospital wards and at school functions, striving to spread the gift of musi [sic] to patients and the medical community.�
Because there is nothing quite like the gift of musi. I for one love good musi. While they claim that this is their goal, I am in firm affirmation that their purpose is to piss me off and make me laugh at funeral functions�because that is what I did, I had to bite my fist to keep from busting up during their searing performance. Some of them are good singers, but the rest of them are just the �gunners� who are involved in everything and they probably cannot even sing, but this gives them an opportunity to be involved in something else. Jesus these people need to find a hobby other than being lame�.something like watching movies or masturbating, two hobbies that I find extremely worthwhile. Undoubtedly someone from my class will find this article and it will get passed along and everyone will hate me�..as if that was not the case already. I just wish that I had a picture of The Doctor�s Notes so all my readers could share in the laughter that I find so healing.
As if The Doctor�s Notes were not enough, in the programs that were handed out to everyone as they entered the auditorium, there were quotes from my medical school class taken from letters that we were required to write to the families. While most of them were straight and rather unassuming, one stuck out, it went something like this:
Even in death she speaks to me and teaches me. I lean over and whisper to her �Thank you for teaching me, I will never forget you.�
FUCKING CREEPY! HELLO! That was distributed to all the family members and faculty, and all of us have to have this mental picture of some weirdo medical student leaning over a naked old woman�s body and whispering in her dead ear. Jesus H. Christ on a skateboard, who picked out these quotes? Did it ever cross their mind that that is fucking CREEPY? I guess not.
So I am forced to continue my life surrounded by people that not only do I not understand them, but I also hate them intensely. Thus is my life. And that is what I get for going to the service and trying to do something nice. Serves me right.
