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
began
the lecture by telling them: "In medicine, it is necessary to process
two important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be
disgusted by anything involving the human body." To illustrate,
he
pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the anus of the
corpse,
withdrew it, and stuck it 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 said,
"The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my
middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay
attention."
