Chinese Medical Students (MILD!!!)

Accompanying article: Nowadays, medical students treat human remains like this? What if you were the remains lying there, or if the bones they’re playing with were your bones, add some rude language, and what would you think? Don’t medical schools teach their students respect for human life during their first classes anymore? If a health care professional doesn’t even show respect for a corpse, how can he treat patients as though they were his family? Wouldn’t that be trifling with patients’ treatments as though it were playing house? It use to be that health care professionals would treat patients as though they were family. During dissections, professors taught students to respect life, and respect human remains. Nowadays it’s completely changed, [the students] even treat human bones like playthings to be posed with, to show off the fact that they’re medical students? I don’t know, do they want to show off that they have access to corpses to play with? Or did they watch too much Pirates of the Caribbean and want to flaunt their courage? Or to show everyone that even if they were so shameless, as long as they become health care professionals, patients will come see them?

If this kind of students graduate, work in the health care industry, would you be willing to let them treat you? If a group of such students graduated, would you be willing to let them treat your family? If every medical student were like this, how many in our society would dare go to the hospital?

All life should be dignified, even if he were a convict. After execution, his body should be treated with dignity. If one can’t treat remains respectfully, what kind of respect would they give living people?

Everyone has narcissistic moments, because of love for oneself. But if you use others’ remains as tools for entertainment, I believe that you’re in the wrong. Even if you don’t believe that the gods are watching, you need to respect human dignity, especially that of the deceased. Unless after your death you have no problems with others playing around with your remains. Unless after you’d been buried you’d let others dig you out for entertainment purposes.

The donated remains are for you to gain knowledge, to allow you help lessen the pain of those patients still living. If you can’t even understand this, then you’re not fit to be a health care professional!

So I want certain people to remember, human life and remains should be allowed dignity, despite status and accomplishments in life!

Hey Clande, where did you find this article? It's really interesting, as well as the accompanying pictures. Great post!

Yes, the bodies, especially those donated for science and medical research and organ donation should be treated with respect. I am in a CNA program and actually want to become a doctor. The first rule we have been taught is to be respectful of anyone we are around.

This is a fascinating post, thought I believe it should be moved to the "General Topics of Interest" area.

Agreed. Wrong forum.
