Reminds me of those barbecue aprons.

It doesn't say "#1 Pathologist" anywhere on it, does it?

Dag, Lynne beat me to the "arm and a leg" joke.

I wouldn't look in the bucket either. :( I'm guessing it's one of those yellow buckets from the labour room; if so, um...eww.

Yes, but there might be confusion about whether the one UNDER 21 is 22 or if it's the one ABOVE that is 22.

it might seem trivial and dumb, but for the sake of adding a few more numbers to the door it's worth it to avoid doing the wrong procedure on the wrong body. it's not like the body can correct a doctor who mixes them up like a live patient can [most of the time]

besides, maybe they got a linear pack of numbers - which would be useless if every third number was removed so they just put them all on the doors.

Excellent as always!

Well, when one deals with death daily a little humor probably goes a long way towards retaining your sanity. I mean, in a job like that you are smacked in the face with your own mortality every day. We all do what we can to improve our situations.

I wouldn't like to be the 13 th body on 6-6-06

did you notice that there are 3 numbers on the door one for each person 3 slots for 3 people so they numbered them that way . where they that slow not to figer out that the person under 21 was 22 or above 21 would be 20?

Oh yeah, once the five or twenty years are up they're all incinerated - I mean that I wonder what happens to the samples that still have to be stored for years, when their storage place is abandoned?

That symbol, hand-drawn under the number 13, is too cool.

Thank you for responding Jason.
This job is quite serious and they seemed to treat it as an order for pizza.

Thanks for the info Seventh! They incinerate medical waste when they're through with them in the 'states, I assume they do the same in England...
