First-year students at the Med School were receiving
their first anatomy class with a real dead human
body.

They all gathered around the surgery table with the
body covered with a white sheet.

The professor began the lecture by telling them: "In medicine, it is

necessary to possess two important qualities as a doctor:

"The first is that you not be disgusted by anything
involving the human body". To illustrate, he pulled
back the sheet, stuck his finger in the anus of
the corpse, withdrew it, and stuck it in his mouth.
"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his
students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several
minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger
in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the professor looked at them
and said, "The second most important quality is observation."
"I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index
finger.

Now learn to pay attention."
