Not as good as yours, marls, but, I have a few here and there that I have saved.

I have been told by EMT friends that there is always one shoe missing at fatalities.

Do you want me to remove it? Do you go to medical school or study anything to do with medicine or crime?

I don't, but, I find some of these things fascinating.

An 88-year woman was referred urgently to the surgical clinic with a history of vaginal discharge containing feces. Her practice nurse noticed that following an enema, it had expelled through the vagina. The lady also reported 6-8 weeks of constipation alternating with diarrhea and fecal incontinence. Earlier, her bowel habits had been normal.

On examination, she was frail, but well oriented. Abdominal examination was normal. Digital rectal examination showed fecal loading and a hard object was felt through the rectal wall. Feces were present within the vagina, along with a hard object high up, which turned out to be a pessary. However, the patient could not remember ever having been fitted with such a device.

She was examined more closely under anesthesia and it was determined that the handle of the forgotten pessary had eroded through the vaginal wall into the lower rectum, 8 cm from the anal verge. After the pessary was removed, something had to be done about the large rectovaginal fistula (just imagine passing feces through the vagina - ugh). Because the patient was too frail for reconstructive surgery, a colostomy was performed. Recovery was uneventful.

The article contained the following photo. I'm afraid it's pretty graphic. A red rubber tube has been passed into the elderly patient's rectum, through the defect and out of the vagina, demonstrating the abnormal connection between these anatomical structures.

That's one of the saddest medical things I've read

The flood at Kedarnath was a tragedy in the western Garhwal Himalayas that occurred on June 16th, 2013 when heavy rains overflowed rivers and lakes and brought rushing waters into the town from the mountains above, paving the way for a wall of death to rush into the ancient town of Kedarnath. A 1,200 year old shrine there had just been the subject of a recent pilgrimage of Hindus and the most ironic part of the tragedy is that a boulder had come to rest in such a way that it protected the shrine from the flood while everything else was swept away.

Kedarnath sits on the tip of Gangotri glacier and most boulders, rocks and debris were knocked off of a sub peak called Kedarnath Dome which then rolled into the town. So thousands were pushed off the mountains or drowned and thousands more were reported missing. Over a year later, bodies are still being found in the debris and rocks and mud and cliff faces.

Images depict the result of burial in a wet environment. It’s amazing how clean the skulls are and even some of the clothes look to be in pretty good condition. Nature is a force that will not be swayed by man’s ego and false sense of entitlement.

they have some photos now that are still being washed ashore a year later
notice on some how the skulls are clean
clothes look intact

bodies bigger than the skulls

I forget who doesn't like people in bath tubs. I think vagabound or teacherof2.

Another one for whichever of you ladies that is. If you haven't seen this one, you will love it, too!

The skeleton in the striped shirt makes a great Halloween decoration though.

Whomever, will love it first thing in the morning. Time for my beauty rest. It's almost 5:30 AM here.

Good day! :)

It was HBO's Autopsy series for me, and I, too, like the real shows, not the CSI and Cold Case shit!

Dr. Michael Baden captured my attention with the curly fries case. I was fascinated and hooked!
