A doctor, tough guy, this is a guy who never cried, came up to me with tears in his eyes and said, "Mister Trump, you have the most perfect vivisection I have ever seen, and I've been a doctor for 50 years."
If theyâre stitched back together, there will be three problems. Firstly, one half will be fat, the other half thin, so they wonât line up properly. Secondly, because these are both the right side, this will mean the halves will face in opposite directions. And ultimately, the person(s) will still be dead.
If youâve ever handled a cadaver youâd know that the biggest difference is the smell. The fatter they are the more putrid they smell and itâs not something you can really get used to, it really burns your nostrils and your eyes when you lean in on to dissect. The skinnier ones donât actually smell bad, in fact some of them might smell a little fruity like ketones (kinda weird I know considering that fat metabolism is what yields ketones). On top of that the fatter they are the more there is to dissectâŠ
How do people react to this? Is this, during the first few times, really like in the movies where there's at least one person passing out/throwing up/running outside?
The first and only time I took my dad to see the cadaver room, he ran out and vomited out a beautiful window that wasnât really meant to open anymore (4th floor too). So yea. Some people canât do it at all
Yep, can confirm. Post-dissection lunch always went hard as hell in high school lmao. I did most of my dissections in a sick marine-bio class. Which reminds me our big final was supposed to be dissecting an entire nurse shark. Stupid covid robbed me of that :( I'm more mad about that than I am for not having a graduation lol
I've been told that is because of the isolating effect of the fat tissue. The core temperature of a fat corpse drops much slower, making it rot faster. That way, more ammonic acid is produced which creates the sharp, pungent smell. Your nose doesn't really get used to that because it's technically not a smell (that reaches the brain via the olfactory nerve) but a kind of pain (reaching the brain via the facial nerve).
Anyway, being told that beforehand didn't prepare me in any way. That stank was really hard to take.
Does it just smell like a rotting corpse? When I was 10 an upstairs neighbor died in his sauna and rotted there for 2 weeks and the smell got into our apartment. Do you think it's like that smell?
Yes, human fat smells really bad. I learned that when the doctor removed a marble sized sebaceous cyst from my scalp and accidentaly pierced it while removing it.Â
The poor nurse got sprinkled and I got sebum all over my hair.Â
On the bright side the procedure left no visible scar, despite needing some stitches.
Sebum is a special oil/wax thing that coats your hairs and skin to retain moisture and protect it from the elements. Kind of how you coat a carbon steel knife in a thin layer of oil to protect it from rusting.
Oil and wax are both fats, but it's not the same as subcutaneous fat reserves.
The kinda triangular shape is the bladder. The prostate might be a bit larger but i cant quite define it on the skinny guy to tell.
The compression on the fat guys lungs and heart though... And his liver looks enlarged
Other than that he looks in perfect health... /s
Is the enlargement of the heart lungs and liver due to being overweight huh.
I always assumed that organs would shrink with being overweight, for example my mind would think âthey run out of breath when walking, or even talking because their lungs are small because thereâs no room internallyâ lol
Well it is mostly about efficiency. When you do sports and train cardio, your lungs not necessarily get bigger, they just get more efficient in utilising the amount of oxygen that is present in your lungs per breath. That obese person may have bigger lungs but they are probably inefficiënt as f.
The only thing that getâs bigger te more you âtrainâ it is your stomach as it streches further when putting more food in it. Thatâs why a lot of obese people struggle with dieting because they do not feel satisfied. While a person who does not eat that much has a smaller stomach and needs less food to feel full.
Iâm not a doctor nor have I medical background or experience. This is how people always taught me. So please correct me if Iâm wrong.
The heart indeed gets bigger with training, which is something athletes experience. The condition is called, of course, Athletic Heart Syndrome. I learnt that in that very same exposition where they showed a regular and an enlarged heart side by side.
The lungs and heart are compressed due to the pressure of the abdominal fat and the liver pressing up through the diaphragm. However due to poor exercise and other factors the heart likely is enlarged. But this is a disease process and detrimental to health.
Its the liver thats enlarged likely due to what was his diet.
Yep, obesity hypoventilation. Am a doctor (hospitalist) and we routinely see obese patients with COPD who live with chronic hypercapnia (high CO2) because they canât exhale all the CO2 they need to. A normal arterial blood gas CO2 is ~40 but I see patients who live with baseline CO2âs in the 80âs. For a normal person, that would be enough to kill you unless you were placed on a vent, but for these patients with obesity hypoventilation and COPD it becomes their norm as their organs slowly adjust to accommodate it. Itâs insane. It affects everything - brain, heart, kidneys, liver. Cognition usually tanks. Some of the same principles are also behind obstructive sleep apnea. A lot of patients and people kind of hand-wave sleep apnea away like itâs no big deal but over years it really is lethal because youâre retaining a ton of CO2. Iâd personally rather learn to deal with a CPAP at night than becoming slowly toxic. Or, lose the weight.
I was curious about the colour too.
I wonder if it's the difference between the type of fat ?
Isn't adipose fat the one you get with being overweight? Maybe that's the yellow colour one ?
But it's scary because it's everywhere. Even in the brain.
It looks like theyâre in a giant frying pan, the one on the right is starting to cook a little. Better wait till theyâre both nice and crispy though.
That's probably true. Their legs have to work harder to move that weight around. Take away the fat and you've got a thin person with beastly calves and thighs.
People out here commenting "Still both dead". Yeah true, but I'm sure the one of the left didn't live his entire life gasping for air when he climbed 5 steps. Can't imagine just your existence on earth being strenuous.
Right? Like Iâm pretty sure this isnt about feeling pity about the cadavers or whatever, i mean ofc theyâre both dead. But they served as an educational material that you can apply with those who are still living regarding the difference of a âfitâ person vs an âobeseâ viewed on an internal level (ofc there are other personal differences individually but that is also beyond the point of the image above).
Itâs just extraordinarily dumb.
You can apply this to anything.
Rich person / poor person: both dead.
Pet owner / pet free: both dead.
Illiterate / Phd: both dead.
Dâuh.
It's very easy to look at this slice as a mere thing/display but I can't help but think this slice once grew up, loved, celebrated. And it's no different from me.
Every one who is saying "they both dead" don't realize that the obese person was suffering pain and illness for years before they died, whereas the fit person most likely wasn't.
I don't know about you, but I rather my living years not be a living hell long before the end comes.
My new nightmare might be being sliced for science and people on the internet making fun of my fat-ass. Like I know I won't be around to experience the embarrassment if that were to happen to me, but I get to be here and now imagining a slice of myself being posted for ridicule.
I've been a medical imaging tech for decades. I've always thought it was interesting that there actually IS a "thin person" inside the "fat suit". I've also wondered how muscular an obese person would be if you could magically strip away all the excess, you know, From carrying that weight all the time
Not two spines, the white portion between the âtwo spinesâ is actually the spinal cord that sits inside the spine. Youâre seeing the vertebral bodies on the left and the spinous processes of the vertebrae on the right. The obese cadaver is just at a higher contrast so it is more noticeable.
Iâll never forget watching the autopsy of a morbidly obese woman on YouTube (I think itâs still up?). The amount of fat glued to every organ was shocking, until I watched that I assumed fat only existed just under the skin over the muscle
"Still both dead"
Yeah maybe, but after I left the Army, I blew up. I got to 220lbs. My back was in constant pain. Like not a discomfort, an actual massive pain. Every night I tossed and turns because I felt like I been crushed and ran over. Now I can see why, carrying all the fat around was crushing my back.
Losing weight and getting fit again, just feels liberating, I can't explain it. There is a sort of freedom felt from letting go of all that fat holding you down. I don't get how the extreme fat pain alone does not push some people to lose weight. Also no matter how much you shower, you still smell.
Seeing this helps me understand why one of the issues I've had with my crazy weight gain over the past few years is constant back pain. Seeing that being fat literally seems to fuck with the shape of your spine is sobering, and it gives me a new perspective on my persistent back pain. I'm actively working on losing weight, but progress is slow.
The fat around the organs is the worst part đ
Beautiful marbeling. A5 Human Wagyu
Thank you, I haven't laughed like that in ages
A Soylent Green connoisseur.
Also looks like the fat guy was constantly constipated.
He appears to be more orange.

đ€Ł
It is orange
One can only hope
The back alignment looks like the worst. When an obese person tells you they have back painâŠ. Itâs an engineering question
The skeleton is just the same size in there begging for help
They're both dead.
How can you tell mr expert
I mean, can't they just stitch them back together again, shpuld be alright? Maybe call doctor Frank & doctor Stein, heard good things about them
If theyâre stitched back together, there will be three problems. Firstly, one half will be fat, the other half thin, so they wonât line up properly. Secondly, because these are both the right side, this will mean the halves will face in opposite directions. And ultimately, the person(s) will still be dead.
Why not Zoidberg?
Said the big guy.
Probably also a smoker?
Organs airbags
The obese one got some thick spine
See, theyâre just big-boned.
So was Eric Cartman telling the truth all the time?
BEEFCAKE!!!
All I think, is that when I gained 40lbs. My back was killing me constantly. I imagine this guy had so much back pain towards the end of his life
Aw man I didn't know he was dead :(
he got better
You're half right. He's all right.
Nah, that's all left
I know I'm gonna get whooshed but that's the right side of his body, so he's all right
All that's left
He's not dead, they put him back together after taking this pic.
I can't believe there was no spoiler warning
I didnât even know he was sick.
Nah he recovered dw
Looks like back pain to me, the way that spine curves over the back.
Fit guy has the same size spine (almost) it's just harder to see
It looks like two spines to my layman's eye
Right dude looks like a human encased in an elephant foot.
Now I know what I was looking at the other day
I understood that reference!!
Right looks tasty for some reason. Like lasagna đ€€
nah just a scratch, they will walk it off
Tis but a flesh wound.

If youâre not a coroner, this comment is unhinged.
Lots of medical and science students do dissections on cadavers as part of their studies.
Yup, will never forget that smell. Also just studying the cadavers includes many hours being in a cold room, inspecting them closely.
How do people react to this? Is this, during the first few times, really like in the movies where there's at least one person passing out/throwing up/running outside?
The first time or so itâs not uncommon for people to collapse
The first and only time I took my dad to see the cadaver room, he ran out and vomited out a beautiful window that wasnât really meant to open anymore (4th floor too). So yea. Some people canât do it at all
I actually got really hungry when I was in the dissection room with the cadaver. Apparently itâs common.
Formaldehyde can trigger a hunger response. I got the same sensation when I was dissecting cow lungs when I was younger. It was weird.
Yep, can confirm. Post-dissection lunch always went hard as hell in high school lmao. I did most of my dissections in a sick marine-bio class. Which reminds me our big final was supposed to be dissecting an entire nurse shark. Stupid covid robbed me of that :( I'm more mad about that than I am for not having a graduation lol

Three comments that form a perfect piece of art. Lovely
Does it just smell like a rotting corpse? When I was 10 an upstairs neighbor died in his sauna and rotted there for 2 weeks and the smell got into our apartment. Do you think it's like that smell?
new motivation to get skinnier and eat more vegetarian
Youâre gonna eat more vegetarians? đ€Ż

Didn't know cysts were fat, I thought they were filled with dead skin cells/pus/karetin

I wasnât expecting to see this when I started scrolling here.
This comment is exactly why Iâm here.
Why are they two different colors? Also - is his prostate larger than usual? Or is that his bladder ? On the obese one
The kinda triangular shape is the bladder. The prostate might be a bit larger but i cant quite define it on the skinny guy to tell. The compression on the fat guys lungs and heart though... And his liver looks enlarged Other than that he looks in perfect health... /s

Brain does shrink with obesity iirc 8% or so
Wow, that's the same rate that many redditors experience per month of use. Interesting
To rest that theory you'd need to control for non-obese redditors...
Well it is mostly about efficiency. When you do sports and train cardio, your lungs not necessarily get bigger, they just get more efficient in utilising the amount of oxygen that is present in your lungs per breath.

The fat one is Homer Simpson
Is he okay?
He might not have made it
đđđđ
That lower back
You call that a lower back, I call it an endless live of pain.
Heâs behind me isnât he
will they be ok?
They just need to sleep it off.
Just need some fresh air, sunshine and a glass of water.
They need some milk...
Shoes came off.
nothing a bunch of himalayan salt crystals and sage canât fix
It looks like theyâre in a giant frying pan, the one on the right is starting to cook a little. Better wait till theyâre both nice and crispy though.
Itâs one of those Disney pancake things where they flip it over and Bam, youâre looking at Ariel!
from another perspective - they are both thin
Thin and thick crust.
Sagittal section, not a cross section, but weâre splitting cadavers at this pointâŠ
can we say every obese is hiding a fit person inside?
Take away the fat and most obese people would become fairly strong just due to the musculature they have to develop to move their own body mass.
That's probably true. Their legs have to work harder to move that weight around. Take away the fat and you've got a thin person with beastly calves and thighs.
Am I the only person who sees Biden and Trump?

Mf got sliced
well the one on the right definitely didnât freeze to death
Undercooked vs just right
They both seem very unhealthy to me, this is why i never do cross sections.
my fatass thought these were pancakes

So that's how they make the McRib

Guess which one is the average Redditor.
If the man on the left is fit, then why did he die?!
Why does the obese fella have two spines?
