General Surgery

Ichor

On stainless steel in cold storage, bloated remains await the blade

The unavoidable path to unbearable stench contributes with acid and gas

Lower abdomen turns nicely green as bacteria thrives in the cecum

Bluish, blistered and swollen

It’s time for the vibrating saw

Cutting…

Cutting through the carcass

Carvings…

Carvings in sarcous ichor

Cutting skin, saw through the bone and remove the skullcap

A transverse incision through the brainstem, the brain is fixed in formalin

“Y” incision at the sternum cutting through the abdominal wall

The ribs are now sawn off exposing the internal putrefaction

Cutting…

Cutting through the carcass

Carvings…

Carvings in sarcous ichor

Maturated, defunct corporeal property

Demised in improper analysis

Cutting…

Cutting through the carcass

Carvings…

Carvings in sarcous ichor

Eviscerated, disemboweled

Organs disposed in disarray

Squirming mass, scrambled (and) disarranged

In a perfect mess

The collected organs

Disorganized

Cut up in sections

With the help of fellow surgeons

Despoiled remains, corrupted cadaver

Degraded with formalin abuse

Rest in putrefaction, rot in pieces

Final rest in the mortuary drain
