What!? A Cadaver?

I showed up at the location for a production and found out I will be filming some cadavers. No one bothered to tell me. I was not affected by it until I started to imagingin how it was going to look like - a whole dead human body?

I started to think about the time when my cousin took my to the morgue to look at about 30 dead bodies from a bus accident. I was about 13 then and the site really amazed me. There were workers cleaning the poor naked accident victims on top of huge ice blocks. I realy felt sad for the relatives and friends who were there identifying and mourning their loss. Sad site.

The smell of formyldehyde they used to preserve the carcuss stayed inmy mind and nose for many years.

The filming was not bad. It was for a medical equipment company. They have a new endoscope camera they are launching and at the same time they were doing a demo to some sales people and I assume were medical students. The physician was poking and probing around with the new High Definition camera and the room and the table where the piece of human shoulder were propped up on was dripping with saline and some body juice. I tried successfully not to get any on me. One of our extention cord got soaked with it so we decided to let them have it. It was a good nice thick expensive extention cord too. Oh well. I dont want to clean it.
