Morbid, but super informational - Cheese


Posted: Feb 21, 2012

I find medical terminology quite fascinating and enjoy learning about the body and such. I found a t.v. series where they do autopsies on real humans while discussing the functions of the body, various ailments, numerous terms, revelations of their findings, and a whole lot more. They were very respectful and adult about all of it, and I learned a lot. Even if I did know about something, they helped explain it in a way that helped me understand it better.

I am very squimish about this stuff in real life, but I find it very easy to watch such things via video, and especially so when it is so informational.

The show and it's numerous lessons have been uploaded to Youtube. They're numbered well so you can easily follow them in order. I just felt like sharing this as I have yet to find anything remotely as interesting and informational as this. This is definitely something that would never air on American t.v. due to the content, regardless of it being for educational purposes, so it was quite a delight to find it.

Here is the link to the Youtube user who uploaded the videos. They have the autopsy ones and then anatomy for beginners videos too.

Check out http://www.virtualautopsy.com. You get to play at being a medical examiner, taking history, physical findings, etc. into account. They have several different cases on there to make it interesting.

Necropsies have always fascinated me, and (like you) while it's riveting in theory the practice is an entirely different story.

Thanks for sharing those! I can't wait to get into them. :)

Thank you - Laura

I got completely sucked into these videos. I'm exactly like you. I find it fascinating yet cannot deal with any of it in "real" life.

These are incredibly informative videos. I do admit, though, they freak me out. The more I know about the human body, the more paranoid I become and I'm kind of turning into a hypochondriac. Every little pain or twinge I feel, I'm automatically thinking the worst. Watching some of these made me realize I really need to start taking better care of my body.

It seems lately I have had a lot of corrections where they are removing what I have typed and marking as [UNCLEAR].  I am not getting dinged, but the reason this is bothering me so much is because they are doctors I am familiar with and know what they say.  It's not like a skip is happening and I'm adding in something. There are dictating, not always the best dictations, but because I'm familiar with them I know what it is. Makes me feel like I don't know what I� ...
