I have 'prepared' quite a few dead bodies, as in laid them out for their families (which means washing and redressing them, change sheets etc. - make sure their teeth are in properly...).. Even though they were dead, I still talked them through the procedure - just so used to it...
But... I never knew what happened after that...  |
As a medic in the army, I had to do the initial prep on a few bodies. On a cardiac ward in Hawaii once, after sticking stuffing into every orifice of a recently deceased gentleman, tying up one other potentially leaky appendage, and tying up his hands and feet, I slapped him on the thigh and asked if everything met with his approval. The SOB belched loudly! Geeze! It was a rhetorical question! I really wasn't expecting a reply!
