The first dissection class and the cadaver for dissection remains deeply important to every medico across the globe.
It holds a profound mental and emotional value in our minds and through our academics. It changes the way we speak, think, respect and study.
I will forever remember the cadaver I was assigned to. It is in these moments I see the depth of what a privilege it is to be a Doctor.
I would love to hear everyone’s experiences first time at the dissection table… 
From my first dissection class, the sight of the cadaver and smell of formalin is etched in my memory. It was overwhelming initially but then it turned into a fascinating and humbling experience.
Our anatomy dissection hall was huge. You take good 100 steps to walk into a big hall with ample lighting and high ceilings. Our table was on the extreme other corner. For many days and weeks, could hardly get hold of the anatomy parts we were dissecting. Our white aprons would smell of formalin even after we left the anatomy departments and went for lunch in the mess.
Cadaver dissection after all is an experience one does not forget.
