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.

Years ago the University of Pittsburgh Rugby Club got suspended from it’s league because they stole a human skull from the pathology lab and used it in warmups instead of a ball to psych-out the other team.

I always thought dentists were weird.

They are overselling this. It’s a selfie someone took and the heads are visible in the pic. Press makes it sound like they were doing a group hug with them or something.

I am going to donate my body to science since it would be the only way I could get into medical school.

Thirty some years ago I was getting ready to play a U Pitt Med School club rugby team, we were warming up, passing the ball around etc. I looked over at the Pitt players on the other side of the field they were doing something similar. Then I noticed there was something odd about the ball they were using. It wasn’t a rugby ball!

To paraphrase an old David Brenner joke...

They fell for the sign that said "Teeth cleaned while you wait."

This kind of stuff has probably been happening since photography was invented. Only thing is now people get caught doing it. Not a big deal, IMO

Many dentists require training with cadaver heads as there is very little else that simulates the human jaws. Or you could ask for a dentist who has never worked on a human head, if you prefer...

usually there is a NO PHOTOGRAPHS policy in these labs. Poor choices.

Vanessa Kensington: Hmm.

Vanessa Kensington: Okay, that'll do.
Austin Powers: Okay.

As long as they don’t sever the heads of their patients and do an outstanding job I guess I wouldn’t mind. Medical students learn from the dead, even dentists I guess. They probably were just skulls anyway. I didn’t look to see if they showed the selfie, because I assumed they didn’t. But I can’t imagine they have flesh on them, eyes balls still in their skulls, or a brain do they? But probably not a good thing to post online though. One for your eyes only, and perhaps a few close friends.

I wonder what colon-and-rectal-surgeons would take selfies with?

Believe it or not, this is a HIPAA violation. They should have known better.

Doctors and dentists can do stupid things too. It seems funny at the time, but . . . . . .
