First-year students at Med School were
receiving
their first anatomy class with a real
dead human
body.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the
body covered with a white sheet. The
professor started the class by telling
them,
"In medicine, it is necessary to have 2
important qualities as a doctor: The first is that
you
not be disgusted by anything
involving the human
body." As an example, the Professor
pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the
corpse,
withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his
mouth.
Go ahead and do the same thing," he
told his students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for
several
minutes, but eventually took
turns sticking a finger in the butt of the
dead body and sucking on it.
When everyone finished, the Professor
looked at
them and told them: "The second most
important quality is observation. I
stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.
Now, learn
to pay
attention."
