DIY autopsy?

[SumJongGuy]

Well this thread unexpectedly died.

Only mostly dead, slightly alive..

OP should just watch Dexter.

Can't help with the autopsy, but there was a schizophrenic back in the 70's I think who castrated himself in attempt to effect a cure. When that didn't work he tried to remove his adrenal glands but after successfully opening his belly he had too much pain retracting his liver so he presented himself to the University of Florida Gainesville hospital to be sewed back up.

A surgeon I know did his own vasectomy; he was in North Dakota at the time and the only alternative was the local vet, which made him nervous for obvious reasons.

If I was that dead set on not getting any NoDak chicks pregnant I think I just wouldn't fuck 'em.

If you're in Washington there's a good chance you could compost yourself when your done with the autopsy:


Washington could become the first state to legalize human composting

Washington residents "are very excited about the prospect of becoming a tree or having a different alternative,” state Sen. Jamie Pedersen said.

So nobody performs their own autopsy? WTF. Do we have to outsource everything? Are the days of handling your own shit over? Are we as humans now so reliant on having others perform everyday mundane tasks that we can't even inspect a corpse? For shame.

I am going to bring back the old timey, artisan autopsy. Look for my shop in Brooklyn, "A Bespoke Autopsy".

yeah, mount yer own fucking autopsy..... templates available online fer most cuttin styles.

i usually start cutting -2 cm off the straight pull middle.

Why do they call it AUTOpsy if you don't do it on yourself? "Auto" as in "autoeroticism"--it's not some pathologist whacking you off.

lmao.

What is there to know...you slice open a dead body and poke around looking for stuff. Bone saws are optional.

Like, does the body need to be dead? I mean, after the process it probably will be relatively dead?
It feels somehow a bit redundant to kill when it will be killed nevertheless. That is like...an overkill.

It's all about being cost effective nowadays, you know?

One tiger...or polar bear. Done.

Pins on balance. Duh.

Pernkopf's Atlas of Anatomy, generally considered to have the best illustrations of any anatomy atlas, was done by doing dissections on live concentration camp victims. Some people in my med school class actually bought the damn thing. (Sorry to post a downer in an otherwise slightly funny thread.)

Isn't there a rumor that Ben Franklin experimented on and dissected corpses (or live people?) and they found a shitload of human bones buried under a place where he lived??

[KQ]

What I want to know is why do they call an animal autopsy a necropsy?

Found it.. Yep, he had an anatomy research operation run out of his house..

Because vets make a point of calling anatomic structures and procedures by different names than human physicians do.

All autopsies are necropsies, but not all necropsies are autopsies.

Loopholes rock....

If you've killed yourself, an autopsy is redundant as you already know the cause of death.

Unless you're already deceased, it's self-surgery. Minus a diagnosis, it's exploratory. Anybody need a full set of "The CIBA Collection of Netter's Medical Illustrations"?

[mcski]

If you killed yourself, how would you know you were dead?

[Svengali]

How would you know if you haven’t tried?

[mcski]

anybody else watch Quincy m.e.?

He was a coroner w real game. Made me want to live on a boat

Autopsy means "see for oneself", so you could open up a person or animal to see what the matter is and it wouldn't be a necropsy if the subject wasn't dead (yet). I'd rather ski though.
