'I dissect bodies in front of hundreds of people' Read more:
I've done about 15 actual human body dissections as part of my ongoing professional training as an anatomist. You can become a bit desensitised to it, although people ask,"How do you put up with the smell?" It's one of those smells that you'll never forget. It's like death, if death had a smell. Once you start dissecting human bodies, I don't think anything else can really surprise you after that.
I set up a company and spent the first few years doing medical workshops. From there I have ended up working across all kinds of different disciplines. Now we are doing a nationally touring simulated autopsy event. It focuses on the dissection of a semi-synthetic cadaver. We get everybody from doctors and consultants to postmen coming along.
We simulate the tissue damage that you'd expect to see from the illness the individual has with special effects. It's all designed to be a problem solving exercise for the audience as they are following along.People do pass out every now and again at the shows. Obviously, we give them first aid. And we do have a crash mat. But the people who come all have some sort of genuine interest.
It took us 12 months to get a licence to use offal in the way that we do, and it's not just something anybody can do—to be able to go to the slaughterhouse, get the organs and then be able to use them at the scale that we do.
