HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Graduate dental school students and a top University of Connecticut orthodontics professor took a selfie with two severed heads used for medical research at a training workshop at Yale University last year an episode Yale officials called "disturbing" and "inexcusable." The selfie was taken in June at the Yale School of Medicine during the 2017 DePuy Synthes Future Leaders Workshop, which focused on dental-related facial deformities.The Associated Press obtained a copy of the photo from a person who received it through a private group chat. That person, who demanded anonymity because of potential harm to their career, said the person who took the selfie would not give the AP permission to publish it for fear of being expelled.

Sort of like the crime scene photos in Naked Gun when they were taking turns posing with the cadaver?
Back when I was an undergrad, some pre-med guy, in order to show how tough he was, removed the intestines of a donor cadaver and skipped rope with them in the lab right there in front of all the other students. He was expelled pronto. Still... anyone up for donating your body to science? Might want to think twice about that if, that is, you expect your remains to be treated with dignity.
I would guess that 90% of practicing physicians have done something similarly “disturbing” and “inexcusable”. Gallows humor is how we deal with the macabre.
Consider what they do all day and it is clear.
Yet another idiotic stunt to get the Always Offended panties in a twist.
This used to be one of those “boys will be boys” college pranks stuff. Now they criminalize it.

Elizabeth Hurley is so hot.
What you really want to see pics of are the D school parties. Unlimited laughing gas and dental chairs = good times. Supposedly.
This little stunt should mean the budding tooth doctor needs to look at a different career.
Wouldn't it work better to use a camera?
There are lots of things that happen in Gross Anatomy Lab that need to stay there.
It’s incredibly stressful for at least three reasons. And the students do have to break the tension somehow.
