after yall are done with the body, do you creamate it and send it to the family, or just toss it?
I was considering donating my body but I changed my mind after reading all the criteria. This particular medical school would not take anyone obese or with any conditions such as diabetes , cancer, or heart disease. I also discovered that my body could be used as a crash test dummy. It just depends on the field of study at the school your donating to. They paid for a simple cremation and the ashes were returned to the family.
How to get rid of the fear of dead body????
I really need help for it Please
Going for my first anatomy lab this week
Ok
I’m thinking of donating my body when I pass on. I am 63 with no family left alive including no children or even nieces or nephews. I was told by a friend who is a forensic pathologist at our local medical school that the person is always treated with the upmost respect through their time of service at the medical school.
That's a noble thought!
At our medical school, we have nothing but the highest appreciation and respect for our donors. That is a very noble choice of yours indeed
Thank you so much for thinking of doing such a noble gesture! God bless you
My mom chose to be donated, we paid to get her ashes back, but my husband and I are donating ourselves.
I have already donated mine to the university hospital here in Australia.
I am 63 also .
I have had qfever .
Diverticulitis.
This was a person once with memories and family. RIP.
@@ArifKhan-vh2gx why did this make me laugh 😭
Tarashea B because the P stands for pieces... 🙊
Yes. I had the opportunity to work with a few cadavers in school. After dissecting one man’s heart, I got very emotional. While I realize these people know what will happen with their bodies, I couldn’t help feeling like I’d desecrated his body somehow. Like, the man probably had a wife who’d lay her head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat, and here I am just cutting it out of his chest out of sheer fascination with the human body. My reaction really surprised me, as I went into the experience clinically-minded.
indeed.
@@wife2sp awwww !
The faculty for medicine at my university holds a memorial ceremony ever, year around Christmas for everybody who donated their body. I think of this as especially touching for all the people who don't have family anymore. There is a special burial plot in the town centre cemetery for their urns. Everytime I go by there are flowers on some of theses graves too.
That is a very empathetic, "civilized" and "classy" thing to do for these deceased folks...
Thank you for a respectful video explaining this process. Both of my parents donated their bodies to the University of Missouri. They only keep them for up to two years. We just got my dad back last July. My mom just passed away in March this year so she hasn’t been used for teaching yet. I’ve had Aunts and Uncles that have donated so it was “normal” for our family but when I tell people we only had a memorial and won’t bury them until Mom comes back they seem so shocked that people donate their bodies.
Gunner Wunner I think it’s wonderful that your family has normalized this. It’s such a wonderful learning tool for students in numerous fields. I hope that I can do the same one day or donate my organs to someone who can still use them.
This is Amazing I would love to donate my body I find it very interesting
What a good thing to do! I really dont mind IF my body would be donated, but its up to my kids i think!? And I really dont know how it works in my country 🤔
Thank you for sharing. I am ten months out on a loved one being donated. I was expecting the body returned soon. I can be patient now.
These shocked people don’t wonder how doctors get so good at their skills! Donations of human bodies is what the surgeons learn from. Some people just don’t have much if any common sense. I for one am grateful for those that have donated their bodies to teaching schools. If it wasn’t for them, mine and my husband’s surgeries could have ended badly.
lmfao the way you wrap the cadaver is how ppl close a bag of bread
I literally came to the comments hoping to find this!!! 😂
I don't know why all the video I thought about salami
That wrap actually closes so tight that even air cant pass through. Watch vsauce.
I mean with my loaf of bread I at least use a twist tie!
laddibugg i do too but the other ppl in my house do not 🙄
I serious cannot believe the cadavers last for 10 years!
Amazing. You guys do a great job teaching others.
I'm curious to know what happens with the cadaver after the 10 years??? What happens with them then???
Shauntay Bowley well I expect they cremate the donated cadavers.
Not a lot a lot else you could do with them 🙂
@@debbietimm9397 yes indeed, I did some research 😊 They may also be cremated and sent back to family❤
I had to have cadaver skin after my car accident. I appreciate people who donate to science/medical.
It was used for those who were on whakaari white island too, I have specified all organs eyes skin etc to be used for donation where possible on my licence.
Noice
Organ and tissue donations save alot of lives. I'm glad you were able to recover.
Is it kinda weird knowing that ur wearing a dead persons skin?
How does your skin looks now ?
I love how respectful you are for these people’s privacy and wanting to preserve their dignity.
This channel is truly a great gift for those who aspired to become doctors but unfortunately couldn't...
Thanks for your interesting videos...
I didn't learn anything on this channel. 🙄 I only saw a plastic bag shaped like a mummy.
Exactly🔥
Honestly great for anyone, the world needs more health literacy
I’ve been studying with cadavers in anatomy lab and it’s really messed with me mentally ... it’s a very weird feeling to know this person was once a human being with emotions feeling etc
The tissue you see only holds a “memory” in a chemical sense. The soul which last inhabited the shell has moved on and now lives in the memories of loved ones. What you’re looking at is no longer a person - it’s a learning tool.
@@mbailey2774 There is no such thing as a soul that has "moved on". What you are looking as is a *dead person* which can be a great learning tool.
@@jimscanoe The better description is just a dead body. The person does no longer exists once died.
I'm going for school next week. I'm nervous for this reason
I think you have a lot of guts to work at this job .Remember these people donated there bodies its ok to feel things you wouldn't be human if you didn't. DONT listen to all the silly comments they had a soul but they have moved on is it possible for them to still be connected to there bodies no but it is 100% possible there sitting right next to you ever day that is definitely a fact believe what you will but long as you respect them you will always be protected by God
I used to transport corpses. I'd much rather deal with embalming fluid than hear the noises they make when you go over bumps.
Please explain
Noises?
@@classycassie1118 Yes as you hit bumps, thier chest settles and it causes air to pass over the vocal cords. So they can make sighs and grunting noises.
@@Michigan_Tactical OMG that's creepy.
Phil Hall, I kinda want to hear that.
Can you guys also do a dissection video from scrath,the whole process from a dead body to a cadaver.
That would be so amazing if they would!!! I want to become a mortician so this is all very interesting for me!
Yes please
I agree, full dissecting.
Years ago, I read a novel about a doctor's journey through medical school. During his anatomy course, he and the others were ushered into the cadaver lab. The pathology professor sternly lectured the students that these people they were about to see were once living beings, and this cadaver group even included a retired medical professor The students were admonished to treat these cadavers with the greatest of respect. That was incredibly gratifying snd fascinating to read.
Was the book called “Final Exam”?
Im 67 years old and a retired RN. Because if this channel Ive signed up with MedCure to donate my body to science. My family is on board with it, and you really feel like you can give back! Thank you guys for such wonderful content! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, 10 years!? Absolutely amazing.
I need you as my Anatomy teacher! I've learned more from you, than all my Anatomy classes, especially during quarantine! Thank you!
Your content is so interesting! Makes me want to be I involved in this area when I grow up
You can be... as a cadaver 😜
@@andrewpozenel2931 ωт🇫
I love the way he explained as referring to as "them" rather than "that".He respects them.
I love this channel. You guys teach me so much! I don’t work in the medical field, but I’ve always had a fascination for anatomy and physiology. Thank you for all you do! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
The one
I don't think you do! You can't spell or make a proper sentence for starters.
You're very wrong about death, I know because my husband spoke to me after his.
I find that you are very clear, considerate and kind in the way you do your videos. Thank you.
I am pleasantly surprised by the respect and the metodicity with which you present each of your videos. A big thank-you!
I visited an anatomy lab once in the 70's & saw cadavers while they were being dissected by students. As an embalmer, I was intrigued with how virtually everything is carefully & painstakingly dissected.
So do you normally keep the faces covered or is this only because it is being filmed?
I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps a matter of privacy?
@@nataliehuntfox8772 most likely for privacy I think since what would they do if they're studying a part of the head?
@@benedictdumaliang7478 Good question. I would think they would keep the face private for public viewing 🤷♀️
Faces are covered for privacy & anonymity. Imagine how family members would react if they saw their dead loved one's face on UA-cam without their consent. It could be tricky with consent. It's a line they dare not cross.
Question is if stil recognizebale
When I grow up I really want to become a doctor, these videos are giving me a lot of new information! Thx.
Because you work with Cadavers, my question is:
Would you give your body ?
Would you be a cadaver?
He already said yes in his tiktok video.
@@phanikumarvempati Not everyone has tiktok.
@@jemif1988 He doesn't need to reply same question everywhere.
@@phanikumarvempati what you said doesnt make any sense. if people don't have access to a platform they will be asking the same question. that honestly dosent even concern you.
@@phuk8865 That is not his problem nor mine. You lost sense because you expecting others to stop their work and keep replying repeated questions. I just gave information. Didn't blame the first guy's question. You are poking nose unnecessarily in to this conversation.
I'm having dinner. Oh look. A new video from IHA
Thanks super much for sharing this also with your non-patreon viewers! I enjoyed seeing behind the scenes!
Speaking as an ER RN, this is very interesting. Thank you very much for sharing this 👍
Thank you for tapping into the die sect. This channel seems to have a cult following. It resurrects our faith in forensic science.
I love this channel and learning about anatomy - however when you can see that it's a whole body the fact it's a corpse just suddenly gets to me. It's so weird
Yep , reality Adtip
I love to see real bodies , its unbelievably freaky - devoid of life and not knowing or feeling anything henceforth in what was once the vessel for your mind and soul - this ones been "used" for quite some while by the look of it but isnt it great that they made the ultimate sacrifice when they were living .
@@chateaupig826 What do you mean by soul? What is that, exactly?
@@Nilguiri Try and keep an open mind and we'll be friends 😁
My soul is where I f e e e e l things , the forest , the creatures , the love for my family . . for music , art , it's a thing that is not in my mind which is where I work out what to have for dinner , do the washing and pay the bills .
@@chateaupig826 ah, the brain, then?
I’m really curious, what do you call the individual cadavers? Eg. Do you call each one by their life names (bob, Sarah) or numbers (cadaver 1,2,3,4,5 -)
On television, I see they have a number on their big toe.
It's like putting away a loaf of bread, spin the top and tuck it under! LMAO
You are to be commended for not showing the face. This shows respect not only for the cadaver but also for the family.
Finally a video segment that answered my questions about how the body are preserved.
One word comes to mind and it is RESPECT
Ten years. Learn something everytday. Thank you.
the one thing that i feel like gives me comfort after death is being either an organ donor, a cadaver, or donating my body to science in some type of way. it just gives me such a huge sense of relief that after i die i won't be alone buried under six feet of dirt to rot and decay. i'll be an instrument for teaching, handled with care, or continue to live on in someone elses body
What happens to the bodies once you are done with them?
Michelle Smith whatever the person wanted usually it’s cremation sometimes it’s burial
I have donated my body to a Medical College, am also an organ donor. It’s a good thing to do as you are helping with the training of new doctors. Also to be an organ donor saves people’s lives who might otherwise pass away. Colin
That’s actually interesting. So the room temp doesn’t affect them? Thank you for the respect you give these people who donate their bodies.
Thanks for sharing! It's amazing they can stay like that for ten years!
It's amazing to see how more normally embalmed cadavers are handled. At the university that I study at, we have Thiel embalming which keeps everything soft. So We're in a morgue-type lab instead of more of a classroom. Incredibly interesting video.
I'm a medical student in brazil, and i Love your channel. 💙
Watched this with my hand covering the screen. I wanted to spread my fingers ever so slightly apart to see the cadaver but I was just too scared. And here I was recommending the channel to my niece saying it was awesome!!! Hahaha! My mum actually called me her most morbid child and I thought I was till I realized I couldn't watch this video :D plus my dad owns a funeral parlour that does the embalming :D
Do you ever get to learn any of the story behind any of your people? I think I would be thanking every body at the end of the day for teaching us.
No they don't. They are generally informed about the cause of death and that's that. No family background, medical history, etc. It is done to preserve the identity of the donor, ofc.
We had to donate mom and dad both..I would DIE to see them on a table like that
Did you ever get their bodies back ?
I appreciate how you guyz teach us about Anatomy.Its so much better to understand than just reading about it.
Could you please do a Video on how lupus and thyroid(hashimoto) work and effect the organs.?Its important.
Thank you.
Your content is so good! I've learned way more then I would have. But question, the cadavers, are they donated or something, with like consent with the families? I've always wondered
The topic I was waiting... thanks
I always imagined the cadavers were stored in giant fridges. It’s interesting to know that it is done in an whole other, more practical way. I must say seeing a deceased human body always gives me some kind of cringy feeling ...
I think some actually are but I think that’s rare and used for different purposes than these I think those are for transplants shortly after the person is deceased
SevenSins possibility. After watching the video I asked a friend who’s occupation is preparing “specimens” for medical testing of knee prostheses (something I have always avoided to do) how they were stored. She told me that they have wet specimens and sometimes also the dryer ones as seen in the video. Because she works with legs only and for a medical company I think that it is coat related. Also it’s only the knee that is used so I think that long preservation isn’t necessary.
Still, it’s made me think, I am quite at ease with handling dead animals (my daughter is a veterinarian and sometimes I help out) but dead humans give me a strange feeling. Maybe it’s the confrontation with my own mortality that makes me cringe.
Lilith Eden to see death affects many especially In humans and think it has something to do with ones willingness to accept death because I for one am not bothered by corpses but I also have accepted death as a necessary part of life.
And animals accept death as well which is why they are not bothered
SevenSins you’re right, it’s all about acceptance
Can you discuss if you use bodies that were prepared through the process known as Plastination? I understand they even color code circulatory system and nerves as well as other structures. I believe they last indefinitely too.
That was really scary sad and interesting all at once. Is there a small about it at all ?. Thank you for shearing this video.
Wow cool. Does the embalming process lessen the weight of a body or increase it?
I’m a nurse practitioner for over 40 years so I’ve seen a lot. Weird question. Have you ever had any kind of creepy experiences. I have had a few.
You should share as well, sounds interesting
Hi I’m 10 and I tell my friend’s all about the Chanel and some of them are watching your videos and they are subscribed ❤
Thanks Isabella!! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos and sharing them!
Daughter of a funeral director and Im also an RN. I have to say, Im concerned about how casual you are about the embalming fluid/chemicals. At minimum you should have on a gown, gloves, and eye protection. That being said, thank you for what you do. The education your students get is invaluable. Keep yourself safe! 💙
La manipulation des cadavres est avant tout une affaire de respect, chaques corps se doit d'être transporter et '' déballer'' et préparer dans le plus grand des respect car il s'agit d'humanisme même envers une enveloppe vide, nous remercions ceux et celles qui ont donner leurs corp à la science afin d'en apprendre plus chaque jour et de transmettre le savoir, de bonne explications pouvant servir dans des cours de physique son sur cette chaîne, un bravo à votre équipe !
This is like cadaver unboxing very innovative and creative
Amazing, I’m so sad I never had the chance to become a dr
My husband, daughter and I have all signed up for body donation. Your site is so interesting and educational.
You guy have a great way of explaining, what I would like you guys to show us how to see X-ray's or MRI and C. T scan while you have a human cadavers to demonstrate.
Thanks
You guys are great and super respectful of the bodies. Well done!
*hey just wondering* has anything creepy or paranormal happend to you? Just wondering! ❤😁
Are medical schools looking for specific conditions for the people to have? I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and I'd love for some medical student(s) to discover a cure using my body. If lupus hasn't attacked all my organs at the time of my deaths, I'd like as many to be used as possible. I've been an organ donor as long as I can remember. I advocate for it as well. Thank you for the interesting videos!
I really enjoy watching your episodes because they really do stir my interest in maters I was not ware I had. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
First of all you'll need a body. Here's one I made earlier;
That sounds unnecessarily dark
That sounds like cooking video
Do preserved cadavers have a smell ?
They can last TEN YEARS!! Wow, never ever would have guessed that long.
They’re straight chillin
1:24 thats gonna get taken out of context...
Omg😂
🙈🙉🙊☠
On the note of them lasting for about ten years, how do you know they’re done? What qualifies an expiry?
It's really useful, thanks team.
This man really just said "sorry if its too graphic"
I have already put in place the procedure for donating my body to the anatomy department of my Alma Mater, the a university of Glasgow….
Very interested. Thank you.
Yes the twisting is called swan necking ...i have done this swan necking then taping it close to prevent fluids escaping
i liked when we can see the inside of the head of the cadaver, thanks for such intersting video
but i dont liked to see the eyes open of her
This might have been asked, but maybe not, what condition do you guys get the bodies? Whole? As in, just look like they've passed away, or do they go to get 'processed' somewhere before you guys receive them?
Are you basically mummifying the person chemically? I would love to hear the process of mummification that you would of found in ancient Egypt explained by y’all.
Thank you for sharing that I truly appreciate it. I have decided to donate my organs but at the end of it all the rest of my body can be used to teach future doctors. It helps to see how you’d treat my body.👋🏻
Could you do a Video explaning how the bodies are prepared for storing and teaching? I guess you aren't the ones that dissect the bodies after death and prepare them but I think you know how it's done.
Wow! That's crazy that you can keep a body just sitting on a table in a class room for 10 years!
Do you ever get people who are just too freaked out to be in the room with bodies? I wouldn't be able to go into that classroom. I've got this strange thing with dead bodies. I can't go near them...not even relatives who I was really close to at their funeral...not even the dog that washed up on the shore near my house (I called the appropriate services to come collect the dog and notify the owner). It sucks, because if I could get over that, I'd love to at least get to dissect a cadaver and learn all about the body. At least I have these videos though!
There was a point in time these things felt yucky. But thanks to u gyz I now knw exctly where the organs are what major roles they play, what do they look like and has helped me appreciate Nd respect my bodily functions❤
I know they have been embalmed, but how do the keep from decomposing?
Just here to say, i read Cadaver Shortage and gulped anxiously.
Do your students ever see the faces of the remains I have being wondering this for ages now
Wow! Ten years? Amazing.
Hey guys, love your videos! Can you a show of how the cadavers from when you get them to the stage that we see on your show? And how they get the color they are.
So cool that people can study like that!
Why do you keep the head wrapped up? And also, does working so often with cadavers make you two more okay with death?
Love the learning
What do you do with the cadavers when you can no longer use them to teach? Do you bury or cremate them? How do you keep track of the identities of the cadavers?
cremate and my understanding is they dont all they know is age gender and cause of death
Thanks for the video. I'm going to sleep better tonight knowing this.
I don’t know how long u use the cadavers, but is each cadaver buried after it’s done being used? What is they have no family to give to.
When I die.. this is what I want done with my body. I want my body to used rather than rot away in the ground.
Dumb question. Are they always refrigerated? Or can they just stay room temperature?
What embalming fluid do you use?
Is the institute in a medical school or is it something on its own?
I didn´t expect to see how you prepare them before sessions. I don´t know how to feel. Like literally! I´m happy you treat them like this and at the same time I don´t feel bad to see (for casual viewer who normally doesn´t watch things like this) something graphic and what i will become after my death. Something like...neutral feeling mixed with huge humility.
This is really fascinating.
