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.

Autopsies for beginners: watch your back!

So another thing I kept doing in the beginning is leaning back against the table. The thing is, all the protective gear I strap to myself doesn't actually cover the behind. There are two things that then begin to get on your nerves:
1) the damp feeling coming from the stripe across your backside placed there by the bloody edge of the autopsy table
2) people telling you that you've got some blood on yourself
