So, I wrote of the first week that there were no morons in medical school. I now ammend that statement. They aren't necessarily dumb, obviously they aren't since they got in. They are just lacking in common sense.
Example: If you are a VERY hirsute man, please, don't assume that you are Adonis incarnate. We don't really want to see your furry body as you change into scrubs in lab. We have a locker room or a bathroom that are perfectly suitable to this purpose.
Example 2: If the dissection instructions contain a list of structures to be exposed during the dissection, you can safely assume that those are the things to look for. Don't just skin the cadaver and call it good. The rat's nest of nerves underneath is what we're looking for. See, when the instructions want you to expose the internal jugular vein, it's really helpful for the labmates who aren't dissecting that day if you actually do it, so that we can see the adjacent structures.
Example 3: Cadavers that dry out are like jerky. Please spray them down!
