Gunther von Hagens

Was the program 'Anatomy for beginners" or 'life and death' Anatomy for beginners was on SBS around last August just wondered if they were repeating it.

Either way I found it fascinating viewing (but a bit late)

Edit: Just looked it up 'Life and Death' will have to remember for next week - 10:30 SBS

Yep just checked it myself.
Next week's episode is to do an autopsy on a cancer victim.
It might put a few smokers off ciggies

AUTOPSY - LIFE AND DEATH - CANCER
In this four-part series, anatomist Dr Gunther von Hagens and pathologist Professor John Lee perform a series of autopsy demonstrations which reveal what disease really looks like and how it works. In this episode they take a look at cancer. They illuminate the difficulties of diagnosing and treating a disease that is a result of the body's own cells multiplying uncontrollably. Von Hagens dissects a woman who died of bowel cancer to reveal the site of the primary tumour and the other parts of her body that it affected. He also reveals the silent spread of tumours in the frozen body of a woman who died from breast cancer. (From the UK, in English) (Documentary Series) (Part 2) MA (A,N)

These have been on before - very confronting.

The guy with the hat looks like a Gestapo doctor out of a nazi concentration camp.

Not very good viewing.

G'day All, the difference is between watching it in your wherever and actually being there, you cannot smell it, I always found the first cut the hardest to watch anyway best leave the rest of it alone cheers Dennis

Watched one of my favourite shows on SBS last nite,The Pizza Boys!!!!
Fell asleep whilst the news was on and woke up just in time for one of the wierdest shows Ive ever watched,Wilfred.
An aussie show about a girl,her boyfriend and her dog.Twist is she sees the dog as a dog,but it is a bloke in a dogsuit.The dog aint to happy with the boyfriend shagging his master.The boyfriend talks to it like its the ex-boyfriend.
What a laugh,all sorts of weird stuff going down as the dog and the boyfriend try to go one up on each other.A must watch for me next week.

Bloody good thing that 'smellovision' was only a fanciful idea.

Dead bodies stink, live ones when being operated on, aren't much better..

Had to shoot (as in video) a few procedures, puke.... I can almost cope with the blood and guts, but the stench is, beyond description......

Everyone who works in any medical area needs a very big medal and buckets of gold, (and lots of hugs) to cope with their working life...

On one job, where we had three studio cameras back to a switcher, two of the three 'cameramen' passed out....

Made a training video once on vasectomy.

Spent an entire day in theatre watching guys get their balls cut up.

G'day Folks

Dr Gunther Von Hagen, the man behind "Plastination" which is/will be the next great medical teaching tool, the series is very fasinating and instructive. the engineering behind is brilliant,there was a travelling Display of this in Sydney early last year from memory.
