Dissection is a dirty job, but I suppose someone has to do it. Good on the brave souls that carry out this messy, disgusting job, as some of the most important achievements in modern medicine were discovered through human dissection. Still, this doesn't make the act of dissecting a human being any less creepy.
Based on these vintage pictures from the early 1900s, it seems like surgeons back then really loved their jobs. They posed around the bodies they dissected like they were fellow members of a grim fraternity. Oh, what a time to be alive! (Or dead.)
#1 We're cool with smoking cigars in the dissection room? Cool, cool.
#2 This might be scariest you have ever seen.
#3 "Such The Vultures Love" is presumably also the name of their super deep indie rock band.
#4 I don't like how that leg looks.
#5 Something tells me the dude from West Virginia is the most twisted.
#6 The skull is a nice touch.
#7 Is this, like, the company Christmas card? I don't understand.
#8 See, this sort of thing makes us think the surgeons personally killed their cadavers.
#9 There are probably about one thousand ghosts in this room right now.
#10 It's funny because surgeons had no souls!
#11 Cigars are fine, but dude, you can't be smoking a pipe up in here. Nobody is gonna take you seriously.
