Pay Attention People!

[Sir Gawain]

Students at the Purdue Med School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They were all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered by a white sheet.

Then the professor started the class by telling them: "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor: The first is that it is necessary that you not be disgusted."

The students saw the professor uncovered the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead body, withdrew it and sucked it. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated and subsequently taking turns, stuck their finger in the butt of the dead body and sucked it after withdrawing it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them: "The second important quality is observation. I stuck the middle finger in and sucked the index finger. Pay attention people!!!"

Could be worse. Imagine what veterinary students go through...

The same theme was used on some comedy/movie some years ago.
The doc did it with a vile of urine. The one student who did stick his finger
in the urine gave the diagnosis of diabetes(sp), the doc was amazed.
the urine tasted sweet. so in other words big urban legend.
saw it in a movie.

The first clue that this is fake: Purdue does not have a Med School. I know, I graduated from Purdue.

What is interesting is how the humor-impaired here shift the focus to "debunking" this offering of yours as "untrue." For future reference perhaps "The following is humor, not to be taken as anything but humor, there is no official source for this, it is hearsay, my brother in law told me this, and I spewed beer out my nose when he did" will help those afflicted with humor deficiancy syndrome to understand better.

Maybe.

This reminds me of a true story which occured during Peter the Great's grand tour of Europe.

In Leyden, Holland, Peter visited the famous anatomy expert Dr. Boerhaave. While touring Dr. Boerhaave's dissection theater, they began to discuss a corpse lying on a table with some of its muscles exposed. Peter was fascinated but when he heard the disgusted grumbles of his squeamish Russian entourage, he became angry and ordered each of them to approach the corpse and take a large bite of muscle. The Dutch were horrified.

And when I was in anatomy class, we were told to respect the cadavers, or we would be out on the street with bag and bagage.

Have you read Michael Crichton's Travels? He described a group in his anatomy lab playing football with a liver.

Young Doctors in love was that movie. The doctor was a Pathologist I think. Funny movie. Due to a mix up in Urology no apple juice will be served today. Dr Pepper report to the diabetius ward. Paging Doctors Howard Doctor fine Doctor Howard. A bunch of good ones.

BTW the student actually didn't stick his finger that he tasted with in it either. Instead he did the same prank right back at the doctor who proceeded to then actually taste it and said taste like plain old urine to me.

Somebody should resurrect the Pool Poopy thread.
