      No. But I did do human anatomy for a while when I was a dental student.

      No, I’ve never done experiements of dead bodies but I have been into the disection labs to have a look at some bodies. I wanted to see how the heart fitted into the chest cavity, because things look different in real life to how they look in textbooks. The technician showed me some human hearts with different diseases and a ribcage with the heart still in place and then showed me a lady who had had her chest cut open. Under her lungs was her heart. It was amazing to see how things fit into a body. It was such an interesting experience. I was telling my sister about it later that evening and she said that she bet I would have nightmares about it. That night I did have nightmares… i think it was because my sister put the thought into my head!

      Sometimes, when testing out new artificial joints, or trying to understand the muscles and bones.
