Autopsies for beginners, step 2

If, while you were eviscerating, you noticed that the intestinal contents were of no interest whatsoever to you (consisting of food rather than, say, blood...) you can just stick your hose in the small intestine, turn on the faucet, and flush out the gut. Be careful of little holes in the gut that you made during dissection. Also, I tend to hang the caudad colon off the end of the table and into the sink for reasons that shouod be obvious. Once you're done, take the "sweet spot" of your big scissors and slide it along the intestine, delivering the opened part into your organ bucket. That way, you get a good look at the mucosa and your tech won't swear at you to messing up the table.

While we're on the subject, go ahead and rinse the table when you're done: dried blood is a lot harder to deal with than wet blood.
