Friday,14.12.12 – Life Science Students-3 were going to FMHS at Kuching, Sarawak. We set off from East Campus at 2pm. We were divided into 3 small group and I was in the last group, that was 3rd group. The aim for this visiting was to encourage life science students to further their study in FMHS soon and thus to introduce the life style of Medicine Students at FMHS. There were 3 stations that we had to visit. First station was Anotomy and Pathology Museum. It was the second library for the Medicine students according to the lab. demostrator. The lab. demonstrator also said that the Medicine students should memorize all part of the displayed pathology to qualify them to further their studies. There were a lot of preserved wet and dry bone and tissues such as Cardivascular System, Hepatobiliary Sysyem, Respiratory System, Gastriontestinal System, Urogenital System and many more. These preserved were the sample of certain diseases. They were located into a special,safe,private room. Even took a picture was not allowed. The collections included the demonstrating human anatomy and specimens illustrating all the important branches of surgical pathology. These were displayed according to the regions of the body. The lab. demonstrator also showed us the sample of kidney failure that was caused by kidney stones. Through the sample we could see clearly the preserved kidney stones in the kidney. Next station was Mortuary. We had to walk about 5-10 minutes to go to Mortuary at Hostipal Umum Sarawak. There were three dead bodies are using for the studies. From my observation ,maybe the dead bodies were imported from India referred to their skin colour. Two of them were used over 19 years for the studies purpose while another one probably had been used for just a few years because it look better than the previous two. There was a doctor who showed us the part of the real human body. Some of the part were removed

    The body that has been taken for analysis from the Chinese burial ground is an adult male. He is an adult because his femur is 50cm long which is around the average height and the epiphyseal discs are completely ossified so he is not going to grow anymore. He is a male because his pelvis is narrow and the pelvic outlet is small. This man was in good shape because the deltoid tuberosity, tibial tuberosity, and linea aspera are very distinct and well developed and his bone density is heavy which means he exercised a good amount. The circular hole in the temporal bone with edges that are smooth and well healed may indicate that this man may have had some sort of surgery to release pressure inside the skull.…

In this book, Roach details the ins and outs of what happens when you donate your body to science, as well as other “uses” for dead human bodies. In dealing with such a seemingly gruesome subject, Roach keeps it quite tame and informative. From anatomy labs to cadaveric medicine, this book is sure to leave no cadaver questions unanswered.…

    Thomas' discussion on pages 57-58 of the Army Medical Museum's role in collecting human remains is misleading. The Museum (now the National Museum of Health & Medicine) was established in 1862, during the American Civil War, to begin the study of military medicine and surgery in wartime. It was not established at the urging of Professor Agassiz. US Army Surgeon General Hammond's orders pertained specifically to collecting the remains of Union and Confederate soldiers, who were overwhelmingly white, to study surgery before the era of x-rays or aseptic surgery. Thousands of specimens were sent into the Museum, including General Daniel Sickles' leg, which he personally had shipped after it was struck by a cannon ball and amputated. The specimens were studied and used to compile the six-volume study, The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion. After the war, the Museum did expand its collecting focus and collected Indian anthropological artifacts and remains. The artifacts were deposited with the Smithsonian Institution, based on an agreement the Smithsonian proposed in 1869. Human remains were transferred to the Medical Museum, where they were kept and studied side by side with those of American soldiers. The Museum continued collecting Native American remains until the late nineteenth century when the role was returned to the Smithsonian Institution, where it remains…

    Regarding the End Racial Profiling Act of 2015 (HR1933), I would like to express and provide an explanation of my full support of the legislation. As you may be aware, the End Racial Profiling Act would prohibit federal, state, and local law enforcement officials from engaging in racial profiling and cease any previous procedures that may have indorsed these activities. The bill would issue a grant to state and local law enforcement agencies to provide better training to its pupils, which would ensure the elimination of racial profiling from policing and other regulations. The bill particularly appeals to me because it addresses the widespread problem that has effected many communities and the nation as a whole.…

    Death Not Be Strange

    This article compares our Western burial traditions to the Berawan’s. The Berawan think that our ritual is evil and because we embalm our dead so they can be shown in coffins, they said that we trap our dead in a suspended condition between life and death. The Berawan see America as a land with the potential for millions of zombies. Metcalf’s comparison is so thoroughly describes the Berawan’s practices in but in my ethnocentric world, it is easy to see why their beliefs are rejected as illogical. Berawan funerary customs are more natural than the American treatment of the dead, but are still way for exotic. The most exotic to me is that after storing the dead for several months some people would consume liquid decomposition mixed with rice.…

    Much alarmed, we did so, he was insistent. Underneath the floorboards were the arms, legs, head, and torso of a human body. I could not look long, the corpse was so mutilated. The cuts were not quite clean, a little ragged at the edges, and the bones seemed to have been cut part way through and snapped the rest. The head of the corpse seemed to be missing an eye. the blood had pooled underneath the remains. The remains themselves did not seem to be rotted in any way, leading us to believe the mutilation had taken place recently. Due to the state of blood, i estimate the act was done less than two hours before our arrival.…

    Growing up, seeing my mother and godmother aspiring to become medical assistants began to enhance my interest in the medical field. Skimming through their textbooks intrigued me on how the human body is extremely complex yet I found it to be so captivating. As time progressed, I became even more intrigued in pursuing a career in the medical field. Thus, when I was accepted to Hillcrest High School’s Pre-Med Program I was elated to see that I was now one step closer. Taking rigorous science courses such as Anatomy, Med-Lab and Microbiology, heightened my enthusiasm as I had finally begun to prepare for my future endeavours. Conducting experiments such as pig dissections, growing bacteria on a petri dish and others intoxicated me with excitement for…

    Bodies: The Exhibition

    "Bodies…. The Exhibition," at the South Street Seaport featured the preserved remains of 22 humans and many other specimens, including a set of conjoined fetuses, an example of male genitalia and a human brain. I found everything visually appalling, yet at the same time I could not take my eyes off of everything I was taking in. Every single body part looked fake to me. However, that isn't a bad thing. They make things look so amazing. So amazing, in fact, that these body parts simply just don't look natural or even real. People get a much deeper understanding of what's inside their bodies after experiencing this exhibit. They preserve the organs in a way that they look like they were artificially machine made. I was shocked to learn that these organs and body parts were once in a real person's body and actually functioning at one time.…

    But what makes the museum particularly fascinating is its unique comparison of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and its funding of research into Chinese medicine. The exhibits comparing Chinese and Western approaches to medicine are unusual and instructive,. We also saw a lot of the exhibits in the museum, each exhibits were been designed very carefully, for example: surgical bed, dolichos bean bed, laboratories, water machine....among this, I was interested in the surgery bed in the basement most, this surgery bed and current operation bed just a little different, but very perfect, it can be imagined that designers of this bed are very considerate and careful. Therefore I want to have a further investigation next time, try to understanding other medical history and technology in the future days.…
