"That's all for today's class. I'll organize some surgical cases and explain them to you in a few days."
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Christine, unable to hide her exhaustion, interrupted Dior, who was dismembering frogs, mice and other small animals in the laboratory.
Smelling the blood in the laboratory, Christine couldn't understand why Dio, an 'ordinary person', showed such an extremely adaptable state from the very beginning. His eyes did not fluctuate at all from beginning to end, as if he was just dissecting some toy models
"Well, these things are really boring. Can we find a 'cadaver teacher' to teach next time?" Dio put down the scalpel, took off his bloody gloves, and prepared to clean up the house before leaving.
Upon hearing Dior's request, Christine finally showed a very embarrassed look on her face.
If she just borrowed a classroom and spent money to buy some small animals as materials for dissection practice, then there would be no problem and everyone would give her face.
But it is different for cadaver teachers. The so-called cadaver teachers are a respectful title in the industry, referring to those who donate their bodies free of charge to these medical students to learn human anatomy courses.
In modern society, few people are willing to have their bodies cut up and displayed after they die. However, medical students cannot but rely on this method to understand the human body, so it becomes a vicious circle, and every "cadaver teacher" is extremely precious.
Famous schools like New York University School of Medicine are better off, as they can barely provide enough "cadaver teachers" to teach students.
However, in those second- and third-rate medical schools, when it comes to human anatomy classes, several classes take the classes together. There are even students who have never met a "cadaver teacher" until graduation, which shows how rare it is.
So although Dior's idea is not wrong, it is simply impossible. Christian doesn't have the face to ask the school to specially provide a "cadaver teacher" for him to learn from. Even if he pays, it will be useless. It is not a matter of money at all!
"This... is somewhat difficult. Let me ask around first. If there are any human anatomy courses in the near future, you can study with the students here." Christine said uncertainly, because even with this method, it would be difficult for her to handle it. It was very rare to have an anatomy course with a 'cadaver teacher', and every medical student cherished such an opportunity. Why should outsiders be allowed to take advantage of it
If this matter gets out of hand, she might become the sinner of her alma mater, helping outsiders to take advantage of her own people. At that time, even her tutor would not speak for her.
Dio, who didn't know much about the situation, thought there were a lot of "cadaver teachers". After all, so many people die in the United States every year.
"Is this okay? But in terms of time... Can I pay to buy a cadaver teacher to study with?"
Dior's unprofessional words made Christine laugh bitterly. "It's not about the money. There are only a limited number of cadaver teachers. If one is missing, it means some students will lose this opportunity. The school will definitely not agree. And even if I let you take the class with the students who take the anatomy class, I can only say that I will try it. I can't guarantee that it will work."
Dio finally understood.
He frowned, then immediately relaxed.
"The difficulty you mentioned is that the number of cadaver teachers is limited, so it's impossible to assign one to me to learn from, right?"
Seeing Christine nodded, he continued, "What if I bring my own 'materials'?"
"Stealing corpses is illegal! Don't do that! The cadaver teacher must donate the body voluntarily, otherwise the school will be in trouble." Christine immediately persuaded nervously. She was really afraid that Dio would directly carry a corpse that he didn't know where he got from next time. That would be a big deal!
"So troublesome?"
Dio couldn't help but mutter. He was thinking that if he really couldn't do anything, he would go to Hell's Kitchen for a walk. Anyway, Matt and the others were under a lot of pressure recently, and no one dared to trouble him for the time being out of fear. However, Daredevil and the Punisher had become thorns in the eyes of the entire underworld. There were even some rumors that whoever could kill these two people would be able to replace the dead Kingpin and become the new king of the underworld.
Obviously this is a rumor directed at Matt and the other man, but the power of rumors cannot be underestimated.
It is estimated that after Daredevil and Punisher are killed, the mastermind behind the scenes will target him.
Dio didn't care. At this stage, he didn't care about the number of enemies. No matter how many came, they would die. He just didn't have time to deal with them for the time being.
"So where do the 'cadaver teachers' you are using now come from?" Dio couldn't help but ask.
"Some are private donations, and some are bought from hospitals. If some terminally ill patients who are running out of time want to leave some money for their families after they die, they will contact the hospital or school to donate their organs or bodies after death... Of course, it is still written on the surface that it is a voluntary donation, which is also an unspoken rule in the industry."
"Also, every year, a certain quota of death row prisoners from prisons will be given to various schools or hospitals."
Christine said this a little embarrassedly, but that's the fact, everyone takes what they need, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cadaver teachers who would voluntarily donate.
The reason why she said it out loud was because she was afraid that Dio would do something stupid.
"Death row inmate? Will his family agree?"
Dio shut up as soon as he asked the question, obviously he asked an idiotic question.
Of course, those who can be allocated as "indicators" are all lonely people, the kind that no one would care about even if they died. It's a good opportunity for them to make some contributions, which can be regarded as atonement.
It's not that humane, but it's not that cruel either. At least they will be truly respected after their death.
"I understand. Leave this matter to me. However, I hope you can communicate with the school in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Dio suddenly seemed full of confidence.
"Do you really have a solution?" Christine was surprised.
"If the quantity is not too large, it should be fine."
"That's great. I'll call my tutor right away. She will definitely be happy."
"Don't be so confident. If I get a lot, I can give the parts I don't need to your school for free. This must be made clear in advance." Dio emphasized. Otherwise, if he gets a cadaver but he is not qualified to use it, wouldn't that be making things easier for others? He is not that noble.
"Of course. No matter how many cadavers we get, you have the priority to use them."
Christine quickly assured that she was obviously very happy to be able to do something for her mentor, her alma mater, and her younger classmates.
