I’ve said this here or there somewhere, I was once the manager of the Mail Service at the university here. I was a big fish in a little pond. We were contracted out. I chose a lesser role with the new management. They manage the print department too. So now I’m a little fish in a slightly larger pond.
They have me delivering mail now. I am currently delivering the Medical/Dental School.
Anyway, one day I’m delivering mail to this office and right in the middle of the room there is a dead guy laying on a gurney. I know it’s a guy, because his hand is sticking out from under the sheet. I know he’s dead because the sheet is over his head. I go in the next day and he’s still there, hadn’t move a bit, which I guess is good. It occurred to me this guy should be turning ten different shades of purple by now. Turns out he was a dummy used for resuscitation demonstrations.
Everything was okay until one day when the elevator opens and there is a dead body in a body bag on a gurney surrounded by people. The other side of the elevator opens as well. They were moving this ‘donated to science’ body to the office through the back of the elevator. Even worse, in the room I could see through from the back of the elevator, there was a body, not covered up, and with a serious case of jaundice. He was a sickly yellow/brown color. The older lady accompanying the body in the elevator let out a sad “ooooh”; like “Ooooh, you weren’t supposed to see this”.
The university also has these experiments on revascularization of the cardiovascular neural tissues. My understanding is the deceased’s blood is oxygenated and stimulated to produce a shaking response in the red blood cells. It doesn’t cause the blood to circulate but to rock back and fourths. This causes the cells to tip and move the oxygen from one cell to the cell in front of it. This moves the oxygen forward and as it spills out on the way, it supplies oxygen to the cells along the way. This preserves the tissue longer for both the family and for keeping it viable longer for forensic testing. Story is, a doctor’s cell went off one day and one of the dead guys sat up. Can you imagine seeing one of these guys in the elevator. “You alright? You don’t look too good dude.”
Earlier this week, I’m going through the dock area to the restroom and I see these two long boxes just sitting there on the dock. I’m thinking these are cadavers on their way to the donor program labs. I am in the restroom and I hear all this noise and I’m thinking, “Great, they are taking the boxes and I can try to forget I saw them”. But when I come out, there is another body. This one is a body bag. There is no doubting this one’s a body, with the feet sticking up at the end.
This is all as sick inducing as it sounds. Happy Halloween!
