Students get teacher's body at first dissection

London: It was their
first dissection, but students at one of Sweden's top medical
schools were faced with a familiar sight in the classroom - the
body on the table belonged to their late teacher.
"The first autopsy is really, really emotional, and we autopsied
someone we knew," one of the shocked students told news agency TT
quoted by the Telegraph newspaper here.
"I feel something in the routines went a bit wrong," said another.
Chief physician Birgitta Sundelin called the event "extremely
unfortunate".
She said that students were normally informed before-hand whose
body they were to examine and that it was also the case this time.
But according to a student, the class did not find out until they
saw their teacher's name on the body's toe tag.
Tina Dalianis, head of the department, said she regretted the
incident.
"It's terrible, but it's part of
education sometimes. Unfortunately they have to deal with it," she
said.
