HI,

I wonder whether you went to the MASHRA7A or not? for me i went to it with my group and we were surprised when we heard that we will go there because no one told us before,frankly speaking i was terrified from this and i was worried about this moment(the moment i go there)because actually i don't like blood .any way when i went there ,there was many dead bodies some of them r old that's why the odor was so strong ,but the dissector dissected a young guy infront of us and i was shocked that i didn't afraid and i was standing in the front line watching the whole process but the thing that hurted me is the head part .
but the most bad part in the whole thing is the bad and strong odor which is really stincky that i was about to throw up ,and i don't hide from you that when i went back home i was so depressed and sad because i realized how the life is small and we r the humans r ignorant,we r complaying all the time from silly things but we r not realizing that we have the most precious thing in the world which is(LIFE AND SOUL)

May Gold bless all of you ,

well lavie ...I passed through the same events u did...and i think it was a great experience ... I recommend that no one skip it...coz some girls and even guys think it is a scary and disgusting thing and they can't handle it....but it is supposed to be so i mean come on... they are cutting a dead body ...but after minutes u will forget ur fear and really try to concentrate as this experience will really help u in all of ur future medical life( i think surgery board students take a dissecting course to learn the anatomy of the internal organs)...

the worst part as lavie said is the offensive strong odor ... so u may prepare a perfumed handkerchief with u...

we attended two dissecting sessions ...in the 2nd one we got down beside the dead body...both boys and girls ... and didn't feel as scary as the first time...

salam...

well Lavie,we went there last tuesday,it was an advanture 2 me coz i didn't know that i could help this,but i stood in front of the body &saw it all.the only thing that bothered me was the bad odour when we entered the dissecting room &when they dissected the body..

hi ya all...,,what really bothered me the human ..who was just breathing hours ago,,and lost his life.
ok,,,all that emotional crap it was really an awesome adventure,,that passed quite and nice that sunday...not as some ppl said that it would be horrifying :-p.

I remember being caught outside the anatomy department in second year trying to grasp some clean air and dr. Fadhil Al-Khafaji found me and asked me "what r u doing outside the dissecting hall?" I answered "to get some clean air, the formaline is killing me" he simply smiled and said "you'll be sorry you said so about formaline when you'll smell other odours you're meant to smell as a doctor"

I simply believe that he meant THAT smell.

But never miss the experience, it will make u tougher.
