The opportunities to attend post mortems are not what they were – when I was at medical school back in Addenbrookes in the mid 90’s, we went to PM every day, apart from Grand Round day, to see the specimens from the morning. We were grilled, but we saw so much, and learnt so much.

I doubt many current medical students ever go to PM. So here’s a great Flikr stream of pathological specimens taken from patients who succumbed to lung cancer. The photos are remarkable, and cover a wide spectrum of disease. Well worth a look.

About DundeeChest 3.0

Born again, phoenix from the flames of DundeeChest and DundeeChest 2.0 comes DundeeChest 3.0. The idea was to provide the medical students of Dundee University Medical School with some support for their respiratory block. Now the students have DundeeChest 4.0 for all their undergraduate needs, and now DC 3.0 is a repository for all things post-graduate. The old undergraduate material is still hidden in here, if you want it.
