I am a rookie forensic pathologist blooging my way through the first year on the cutting room floor. It's graphic in here-- there's blood and worse. Look away or read on: it's up to you.

Personal best update-- new category

Grossest thing I've ever heard of:

People call the coroner's office to say they've-found-something-that-they-think-might-be-human-body-parts-but-they're-not-sure-so-can-we-send-someone-out? with surprising frequency.

So a while back we get called for a box of possible human intestines out behind a dumpster in an alley.

Turned out to be a box of squid tentacles covered with maggots.
