Autopsy Table and Scale

Ed! ~No static at all~ :-)

Lynne, Damn it, guess you'll always beat me to a comment!!! ( still trying ) Any Steely dan songs at work make me think of you!, and Motts's site) ;-)

You'd think it would go a little above 5 pounds. What if you had a enlarged liver or something?

Well, if you had an enlarged liver and it was out of your body and being weighed, my best guess is that you probably wouldn't really care how high up the scale went. ;-)

Lynne,
After all the yellow liquid was drained and put in those jars they leave lying around, it would probably weigh a lot less.....

Eeeewwww

And poor anna ran off with all that yellow liquid, thinking by mistake that it was really Radical Ed's beer . . . . . . . . . .

=8-o

boy was I in for a nasty surprise. I did get *pickled * though


teehee

I just can't get over how much stuff is still there, and hasn't been stripped out . Is it well guarded, and how can you get around without getting caught. You must have an invisibility cloak???

Was everyone autopsied here? I wonder. Even if you're mental, I guess you still need a right cause of death.

Autopsies were probably only done if the patient's death was unexpected (there was no disease process or accident that clearly caused the person's death), unattended (the person was found dead but had appeared to be in no danger prior to that), or the patient's family/guardian/doctor requested an autopsy. The first autopsy report I read was for a person who was found dead on the floor of her bedroom one morning, after staff observations all night had indicated no problems. It was quite disconcerting to read about the procedures, with the weights of various organs, all in very dry and specific scientific terms, and to think that this was a person with whom I had worked for years. In the end, this is what we are--just a body, no longer a *person.* I hope that makes sense...even then, after all the observations and toxicology reports, the cause of death remained "undetermined natural causes." Yes, even though she was "mental" and lived in what another viewer called a "cuckoo's house" (those are really offensive and hurtful labels, as though someone with a mental disability is somehow less important, less valuable, less worthy), the staff, her family, and the medical examiner were all very concerned about what had caused her death. Please forgive me if these comments or any of my others seem harsh, because that isn't my intent. I just wish there weren't so many misunderstandings about mental illness and hope that maybe I can share some of the things I've learned. People with mental illness are more than their illness. They are sons and daughters, parents, husbands and wives, students, workers, artists, musicians, friends--just like everybody else.

dme, you are right. perfectly right.
my mother suffers from a serios mental ilness, like my grandmother. but they shouldn't be put aside. it's jut ...they perceive reality in a different way.or in the worst case, they don't perceive it at all.

So this is where they weigh your heart against a feather and decide...

...at least when people die, then they're done with whatever they suffered.

thay would not put the brain back into the body until thay died [ from being shocked with 400 volts //// at one time being called crazy ment something //
