I wonder why?
I need a collection of weird signs like these. These are great, and all from one place!
Okay, mine is off! Now what?
oh yes ... there will be blood !
Blood stains are a bitch to get out!
SO IN CASE PEOPLE SEE YOU THEY CAN TELL YOU WERE BUSY DOING AN AUTOPSY!
Some of these signs are quite amusing
you don't wear your everyday white labcoat when dealing with unknowns and potentially infectious stuff [such as dead bodies] because you don't want to get splashed with something nasty in the morgue and then walk out into the general hospital and spread it around.

often they wear blue or green coats - a bit like surgeons - in the morgue and they'll be thoroughly washed after use - at work we're not allowed to take out labcoats from the site, they have to be washed onsite, so nothing gets taken out or brought in on them
why would you wear a white coat to an autopsy....YOU WILL GET BLOOD ON IT!!!
Hmm... =P
OK, but all I'm wearing under it is what God gave me!
i don't get it . shouldn't you keep the coat ON so you protect your clothes underneath?
Peroxide
geeze that's kinda scary in a totally weird illogical way...

^_^
These signs provide quite the "written" history of the place. So glad you shared them with us.....
dont want anyone detantching body parts and sneaking them home
It is true: you had to remove your white coat, that was supposed to be clean and non-infected, so in the autopsy room you just wore the scrubs you
had underneath the coat. Like Seventh said.
