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."
