I remembered reading the book "Still Life" borrowed from Jas which is on life after death and experiments conducted using cadavers. One of the chapters actually mentioned about the author observing facial reconstruction experimental surgery by the surgeons using cadavers' heads. But none of the least did i expect that i would actually be able to see the experiment with my own eyes.
Was on my way back from lunch when we passed by the room conducting workshop for experimental surgery and i literally saw human heads placed on each bench tops. Its quite a gruesome scene and i dont think anyone would want to see such a thing immediately after lunch. I was shocked at first but i manage to brave enough courage to stay and peek into the room. A green surgical cloth was used to cover the eyes and mouth so we can only see the hair and the skin around the ears but the most disgusting part that i saw was the stub. Its definetely not a clean cut but a zagged one.
Heard from the doctors that these heads are from those bodies that were left unclaimed. Frankly speaking, i pitied them cos it seems like they dont even have a nice resting place. Just imagine u are being left alone in the montuary with no one to claim u and moreover u will be chopped into pieces for experiments. I really dont wish to see any of the people i know to fall into this state...
