Yesterday I had one of the most invigorating and interesting lectures I've had in a very long time.
And it's truly rare for a 9 am lecture.
Yes, the lecturer was a self professed small man but with a terribly loud voice.
Dr. J Grieve, Forensic pathologist. The person who is goin to give us 10 lectures on Forensic Medicine.
Yes and for the ''sheer amount'' of forensic medicine that will come out in our conglomerative exam in abt a year or so - all of 3-4 questions - the way this guy lectures makes me want to actually pull myself out of bed at 7.30 in the morning to be on time for his lectures at 9. And yes...some how all 10 of them are at 9am.
In his words " No apologies for not having any handouts, No apologies for not having the lectures on the internet". Attitude I like that.
Very clean cut and professional way of handling things. I like. First thing he did with us was housekeeping matters: Be here by 9am because if he can make it on time, he doesn't see why we can't. Attendence is taken. Sit in the front rows because his stature makes it tiring for him to raise his neck at an angle to catch those of us at the back. Don't do anything to incur the wrath of the legendary 'Grieve's bad temper'. Believe me, I wouldn't want to have to incur that wrath. I still treasure my ability to hear the wind, eavesdrop and listen to gossip and the occasional heart sounds and bronchial breathing .
So basically yesterday he lectured us on the importance of identification of the dead, living body and people who have conveniently lost memory of their own identity. you know the works. Then he went on to tell us how scums of the earth made use of major disasters eg. tsunami, 911, train crashes to fake death and claim insurance policies.
" Ladies and gentlemen, the destituition of humanity that we see today is not because of any religion or ethnic group, it's because of people like these..."
Not verbatim that quote but the gist of it.
Destituition of humanity.....
what a lyrical way to describe our daily existence.
If only 9am lectures could be like this.
