I had my first day on clinicals yesterday, and as luck would have it, there was autopsies scheduled. Our group of five went down to observe. What an experience. The subjects were both in their midtwenties and killed by a drunk driver. We had the opportunity to do assessments before the bodies were opened and then able to see the actual results to the underlying organs or structures. The injuries were extensive and wide ranging. There wasn't a single organ in the first subject's body that hadn't been damaged. It was a tremendous learning opportunity on so many levels that it will take a while to process.
Is this a common experience for those of you in paramedic school ?
