Doctors In The Early 1900s Had To Endure Creepy Medical Training You Won’t Believe

Dissection is a dirty job, but I suppose someone has to do it. Good on the brave souls that carry out this messy, disgusting job, as some of the most important achievements in modern medicine were discovered through human dissection. Still, this doesn’t make the act of dissecting a human being any less creepy.

Based on these vintage pictures from the early 1900s, it seems like surgeons back then really loved their jobs. They posed around the bodies they dissected like it was a fellow member of a grim fraternity. Oh, what a time to be alive! (Or dead.)

We’re cool with smoking cigars in the dissection room? Cool, cool.

It’s funny because surgeons had no souls!

Something tells me the dude from West Virginia is the most twisted.

This is secretly just a picture of the ViralNova offices on a Monday.

Again, I can’t stress how important this time was for medical science. Many vaccines and surgical practices were probably developed by these men. I just wish they didn’t enjoy their job so much.
