A secretary where I used to work had a human skull on her desk. It wore her late father's police uniform cap. This was at Bell Labs. Most of the people who worked there tended to be a bit unusual. A lot of people were freaked out by it. I admired it then picked it up, turned it over, and peered into the foramen magnum to see if it was real. It wasn't. Truth be told, I was a little disappointed. It was a really good simulation, though. It felt like bone and had a nice heft to it.

My Dad was a GP and surgeon here in Australia and he had a disarticulated skeleton in a box at home. Some of my early memories are of playing with it with my brothers when we were kids back in the 1950s and 60s. My most enduring memory of it was my fascination with the web of thin bones inside the skull. Having a skeleton at home was a bit of an attraction for some of our friends after school. I have no idea what their parents thought about it. The box had a paper label inside the lid, which your pic at the 3:20 point reminded me about. We knew back then that it came from India. My Dad (born 1919) trained at Sydney University in the 1930s and 40s so I imagine the skeleton is from about that time.

Not sure about med school, but the anthropology department at the university I attended had several complete human skeletons in a wide array of conditions. I did a forensics course one semester, and every week we analyzed another group of bones of the same skeleton in small groups. (Each group was assigned a single skeleton.) At the end of the semester we presented to the rest of the class, making arguments for the deceased's sex, age, ancestral geographic origin, type of career (laborer or not), and if we felt it was applicable, cause of death. One group had an elderly male skeleton with severe arthritis and osteoporosis. My group had a middle aged female who had definitely experience a leg fracture in her younger years, and if I recall correctly, one of the carpals of her left hand was missing.

@@MedlifeCrisis does it depend on the bone broken? Some bones can't be properly cast because of various reasons and might not heal straight as a ruler (I once broke my collarbone,and i can feel it's slightly Nike logo shaped compared to the other) but I doubt it would be easy spotting the previous fracture in my fibia

I just studied art but we had a real human skeleton to study when we were doing anatomy, but my teacher said it was donated... Like it was a guy who put his body up for donation before he died. But here in Canada it's super easy to sign up, I'm signed up in fact. Like when you renew your health card they ask if you'd like to sign up to be a donor (either for organ donation or for medical research or both) I just said "yea use whatever you can for whatever you can, it's not like I'm gonna be using it once I'm dead!" And then you get asked again for clarification every time afterwards when you renew (it has your photo on it so you gotta get that shit updated every 5yrs). Like you can specify if you don't want certain body parts or tissues used, or for certain things, but ye. (Also btw the health card is what you need here to get our government paid healthcare. Also it's done on the provincial level so idk if all the shit I just said is only for Ontario or is a thing elsewhere too)

I went through medical school using real human specimens to study anatomy, the university get them from morgues, they were unclaimed bodies, or people who willingly donated their bodies to science. And if you wanted to acquire human bones to study, you could contact senior students that already had them. A fully articulated skull was a very popular piece.

Viruses cannot move like what you think. Moving requires energy which they can't make, neither they have flagella or something like it. Actually viruses are kinda dead (inactive) unless they infect a cell (controversial). Bacteria can move at a speed of 2-200 micrometers per sec, i think you can now calculate how long they will take to move the length of your forearm!

Hey, I'm a Doctor from India. In my early years of undergraduate studies, I bought a "bone set" what we call, for about INR 1500 bucks, from a shady dealer who takes orders from us students outside the college library. As much as our professors tell us to avoid, they seem to know what they are doing, and they come in friendly. Not only that, but our seniors will give us more of these "bone sets", I owned two such sets, which later I passed on to my juniors. They are real human remains which really give a clear understanding of anatomy, and they are in one piece. Only after a couple of years did I realize that it might not have been legal to obtain those remains. It's all hushed about, and seemingly okay for medical students to own it. They claim that they are the remains of unknown/unclaimed bodies. Loved the documentary.
