  • this is what I tell people I'll do when I'm older; then everyone asks "WHY!?"

  • i wanna do this SOOOOOOO bad when i get older!

  • My baby does this for a living <3. Well, he doesn't cut open the body but he takes pictures of it, and if there's bullets, he pulls them out and cleans them off.

  • Wait how did I get- OH MY GOD THE SIDEBAR.

  • I went to an autopsy last term for an intership...never forgot the smell. Terrible but respect for the people who do it everyday.

  • @Evelyness06 Hey what does it smell like, does it smell like when a person is sweaty and has not showered for a month or does it smell worse than a dead dog :-(((

  • @shv90210 If only it smelled like a dead dog..its a smell that i'll never forget. I guess you can say its like being in a room with alot of rotting dogs except its all coming from one person. Pretty gruesome:(

  • @Evelyness06 Oh GOOD GOD How the fuck did you stay one minute in that room, I commend you for being so brave, I'm a man and would be too scared to even enter that building much less that room. Oh God that is Gruesome indeed Its really hard to see that when we die that's what become of us, hope the super rich elite takes note of this. I commend you again your so brave I admire you a lot :-)

  • Do you have any full length videos?

  • Mmmmmm liver

  • It may b noon UP Eternal Make'tClear "t'Spirits"cuz when lost turn2ghost4Earth

  • Well, WAS Real Life....if Already Started Another 1,000 Here, is "1" WAYUP!

  • yup the smell is the worst part...especially the corpses that are bloated, rotting, and have black stuff leaking out of their mouths...THE HORROR!

  • Great video. Kathy's humor remains gentle and respectful. She goes out of her way to let law enforcement be able to tell the family that the decedent could not have been saved. During over 30 years as a pathologist, I have only seen one colleague show disrespect for human remains -- he no longer works. And viewers -- if you are considering suicide -- remember that 99% of people in good physical health who failed serious attempts were glad, 1 year later, that they failed. Peace and health.

  • mission accomplished guy....

  • I saw a real autopsy, wasn't so bad.

  • Wow... amazing. Thanks for the video.

  • eeeew

    

  • disguesting -___-

  • Organs are weighed and dissected. if an organ is too big or too small, then there is a problem and dissecting, testing to find out why.plus look for any physical damage, illnesses, possible poisonings etc within those organs. standard procedure.

  • i dislike it....bt still like like it

  • eeeeee

  • "It's the smell"

    -Agent Smith

  • USDA choice

  • Theres an autopsy on liveleak.com from start to finish. It is truly unwatchable(if thats a word)

  • Hm, not exactly your average high school biology dissection, eh?

  • lol like a butcher shop

  • oh my shit why am i watching this

  • hahaha

  • It's just like a butcher shop!

  • ewwwwww

  • I like the smell...NOT!!!

  • Wooooah . . just found out that I made comments here before that I didn't even know about. :/ Yippee for getting hacked.

  • This is what I want to do when I get older, I'm currently enrolling in forensic classes.

  • I can tell most people on hear are liberals or at least very sheltered. Ive gutted and skinned many animals while hunting as well as seen surgeries. Only one real time through observation window. Point is, once you cut em open. They almost all look the same. I dont mean to dis anyone but when you actually do or see this stuff regularly, its not that disgusting. But i do understand that psychologically, seeing a dead person is harder to cope with than a dead animal. Not so much me though

  • @ishootme I don't think liberals vs conservatives is an appropriate comparison. I think it's between squeemish and desensitized.

  • massive damage, it got massively damaged because of the knife =p

  • I commend MEs like Kathy who go to medical school to take on unpleasant jobs like this one. Determining causes of death is a necessary evil in the world of forensics and crime solving.

    Perhaps it's a bad comparison, but it's like the trash collectors who come down my street once a week - I'm grateful these people do that job because I would never want to.

  • you can't die and come to someones office :)

  • I find this video difficult to masturbate to

  • @orgixvi3

    LOL

    dude, ur funny :P

  • can you all shut up.ur r interupting my erection at this video.......lol

  • Wow - People who do these jobs are AMAZING. Nothing but respect! And to think, we make heroes out of idiot actors, musicians and professional athletes and overlook the people who do these kinds of things.

  • @GuyWithGuitars1 well said =D

  • Can someone tell me were to sign up?

  • "You have to not let your job interfere with your cooking." LOL!

  • can any one tell me what can be learned by taking out the brain of the deceased?

  • @dfg297lpopdirk physical injuries, forms of dementia, cancers,  tumors and so on

  • Ok that lady is way too perky as she cuts and dices a real man's brain up. Making a cooking joke? Really? Disgusting.

  • @britt6333 People who do that type of work MUST humor themselves or they will go nutty. it may seem insensitive but when enough bodies come in,especially children, it is extremely hard on them. they have to have a wall around them, also after so many yrs, the job becomes very routine. it's like she said, preparing dinner. Just the way it is sweetie

  • I automatically started breathing with my mouth, and realised that after about 2 minutes. Fuck... Lecter's dream job and paradise.

  • @TheUnstoppableKitten plz get hit by a bus

  • @TheUnstoppableKitten stop messaging me and die geek.

  • How many years of college would I require to get the same job she has?? Please someone answer!!!

  • @TheUnstoppableKitten ps i hope you die and your organs are all weighed harvested and then donated to the person you hate the most.

  • @TheUnstoppableKitten there is actually something called consent for organ donarship.I would never ever give my organs up for donation,incase a jackass like you needed it.

  • @rossm21uk Can a jackass like me has your organs then? (^_^)

  • @1029Itachi hmm ,go on then ,just my liver though.

  • @rossm21uk Okay! I need a new one cause my old one got beat by alcohol! Thanks! (^_^)

  • those doctors are psychopaths!

  • @zorilaz why? they play a significant role in determining a cause of death, what they do can also determine if someone goes to jail or not.

  • Thats how I want to die, one bullet when i cant hold my shit anymore.

    but I want my body left alone.

  • @MTHKITEBOARDS Lol. Why does it matter? Your dead anyways. Hehe

  • so just because of the angle of shot they decide its suicide

  • she's tough!!

  • This is so interesting! I've actually considered a future career in this!

  • She took a damn pic.of his ass! Lol

  • This is the field that I'm looking to go into.

  • Brotha Lynch Hung, now eat.lol

  • @donkiepuncher123 youre a mean cruel heartless asshole! the energy you give out will come back at you! you must have a miserable life you miserable heartless asshole!

  • 3:53 is she talking to the corpses!? :S:S

  • I find that stupod how they said it wad a suicide just by the angle because what if his head was tilted while he tried to fight or run away

  • He probably died trying to kill someone else.

  • mmmm.....i once ate hunan bisep in naples, my mouth waters when i see human disection, if they are already dead what is the harm in eating human meat? We are all just meat and bone, no diffrent than cows or ants for example.

  • @chessinfantry I wanna eat Kathy!! *SLURP* I wanna eat her all night long

  • @chessinfantry That is creepy as fuck bro.

  • aside from the head, did you saw some bullet whole on the lower part and open it to investigate the cause of its death?

  • she better get paid in 7 figure value...

  • if u know how much money these ppl get ull dive into poop....

  • why didn't they check his hand for gunshot residue so they can rule out homicide

  • @sweet868jbjb It's not their job to do that. Their job is strictly to do an autopsy, occasionally they'll take swabs but its out of their juristiction to do that without supervision of the CSI who's currently working on the case.

  • she's a cannibal

  • trying to find out what caused death ? erm it was a bullet to the head 

  • i hope i dont loose my lunch.

  • This lady is sick! She's making jokes about cooking and cutting up a dead body. I'm sure the dead guy finds her hilarious!

  • It humors me that ignorant people have the nerve to state that this trained medical professional is performing an autopsy incorrectly. Weighting and dissecting organs is standard practice in all autopsys that reveals vital information. A two minute google search would prove this. In fact this trained professional has gone through much more rigorous schooling than most if not all other " medical doctors"

  • @AlexTubed BORING! most of us just wanna see people sliced and diced, fuk ur dumbshit buzzkillington...yeah, sad but true i like this world >: )

  • @chessinfantry .....

  • that's unFAPable. just saying.

  • @tinpanalley89 maybe for you. but for some people i know >.>

  • A complete autopsy is required. In the USA, a defense attorney will ask, "How do you KNOW that the decedent was not dead of a heart attack? How do you KNOW that the decedent did not have cancer / cirrhosis and take his own life?" Even if the cause is clear to the pathologist, these ways of confirming (or refuting) our impressions promote justice and always clarify. "The dead do have voices -- through us."

  • worst place to be in a zombie apocalypse

  • seriously? all the retards who posted comments about her procedure of weighing are not near as smart as her, she had to go to college for a good 12 years and she makes way more than you think, and she has a reason for doing each and everything thing she did, and if you wanna know the details about it look it up! you might actually learn something for a chance!

  • Performing autopsies look so interesting how much do they make a year (cash)

  • 533 people don't know how important a medical examiner can be in bringing justice

  • I'd rather be burned up completely than have to go through this

  • i hope they dont do that shit to me

  • WHY WOULD YOU WANT A JOB LIKE THIS?

  • @Zero14811111 cause sum1 gotta solve these cases, just be mature about

  • what the fuck>?? was all thaT slicing necessary? Thats place looks more like a meatshop than a lab anyway. Suicide,no fucking way.

  • what the fuck>?? was all thaT slicing necessary? Thats place looks more like a meatshop than a lab anyway.

  • This process allows for the dead to speak when they are no longer able to. Being in this field myself I can not name the countless instances where Law Enforcement and other agencies have declared situations "natural" or "Suicide" then, when the facts come back to show that it was done at the hands of another. Just to show you never know until you really look at the evidence at hand. Not to mention state laws require Autopsies on at least nine types of deaths. No if's, and's or but's about it !!

  • oh god...i live in northern virginia D:

  • Alright, so they cut up his organs, mashed up his brain, ripped apart his bone, and in the end- all they took was an x-ray and found out what you could've figured out if you just looked at the guy. Looks like she couldn't get enough play-doh when she was young and this is some form of compensation.

  • @bnynn

    You do realize that some murders are made to look like suicides, natural causes, accidents, or even unknown causes? The forensic pathologists try their best to find out what the real causes of deaths are, even if those deaths would appear to be suicides or another category. You may think they are just mashing up his brain and whatnot, but every step they do has the potential to find the truth. In the case of this man, it was suicide.

  • @bajramovic92 Can you explain how inaccurately chopping a brain is going to solve anything when in the modern age we have scanners!?!? It makes no sense at all. Unless you can testify how ruining the body of the man some people cared for is suppose to help? Look, 2:00 tell me what that looks like to you. I can't justify shit from it. Theres NOTHING you get from slicing up a brain. maybe looking down a digestive tract for drugs, but a brain? NOTHING. Shes fucking retarded.

  • @bnynn

    Oh, jeeze, dude.  I'm sorry. I didn't know that you're a doctor like she is. Sorry again.

  • There's a fireee startin' in my heart!

  • i want to make out with her fleshy lips XD

  • @rossm21uk  just because theres a bullet in someones head doesnt mean thats how he dies.

  • @ashleeinsanityy Oh yea, I like to shoot my friends all the time with some .22's.. OHH we got tones of bullet wounds and we're still fresh! They just go away after you rub them a lot with rainbow powder.

  • well lol after watching this im certainly not allowing an autopsy on myself after death, this is inhumane, so just because your dead you perfect body is destroyed by these people, murderers are bad and they shoot the gun but these people are the ones doing all the damage, and they get paid for this!!!

  • i give all props to ppl who chose to work in this field.. for skittish ppl ...like me we need u! i cant tell u how long it took me in my 32 years to even hold raw chicken..i still cant hold a fish.

  • this my dream to become a mortician......London in two years

  • This is my dream job and I don't think it sucks. These are actually the kind of people who speak for the dead and without them, the dead won't have anybody to argue their case and would just be one of the many who died for nothing and whose right to justice has not been provided.

  • what do they do with the gentles ( maybe molds for dildo's)

  • fuck u curry

  • i know this kind of shit finds the cause of death and maybe the murderer but this is inhumane even if the person is dead

  • this women is a DUMBASS. of all the occupations in the world she chose this shit. It probably doesnt even pay well. She could "help people" in millions of different ways if thats what she really wanted to do.

  • And you just might be wrong ... You should research the actual pay scale, education requirements and positive aspect of this profession.

  • And you just might be wrong ... You should research the actual pay scale, education requirements and positive aspect of this profession.

  • Oh Man ! I was eating ! :L

  • this is a very difficult autopsy bill. but it is good to know

  • i find this video difficult to masturbate to

  • @veeragandersucks lolololol

  • I really laughed (even though it wasn't appropriate) when she said that at 1:44 you must not let your job interfere with your cooking....

  • I actually plan on going to school to become a Medical Examiner.  I think I'll be able to handle. I hope so at least.

  • Hmm. Bullet in the head. d'ya think that killed him? HmmI dunno - let's cut him open and see! Dooh K. Yup that did it. Sew him up again.

  • this is shit

  • How can they conclude that it was a suicide just be determining the angle of entry? I think they're reaching.

  • @mindsaglowin

    Not really. If you are pointing a gun at someone and shoot, the angle of entry would be quite different from when you commit suicide. And if you are found in your home, with a gun in your hand, doors locked, it is pretty clear it is most likely a suicide.

  • 2:21 McDonalds delivery :S

  • Looks like a butcher shop! Gross!

  • Amazing.

  • ok this guy got shot in the head,lets rip out his heart and weigh it for clues.

  • @rossm21uk They have too, duh

  • @rossm21uk It's a standard procedure for ALL autopsys

  • @Kurisuchianu89 Are you fucking stupid?

  • @bnynn A person that gets shot in the head doesnt have to be alive at that certain moment.. He/she maybe died days/weeks before. And fucking stupid? Nope :)

  • @Kurisuchianu89

    You don't even need to cut open a human body in order to tell how long the body been dead. You just need to look at the skin and judge by its paleness and stage of decomposition. dumbass. And who the crap shoots a dead body fresh from the street? that's why I call u fucking stupid.

  • @bnynn Still, there is a possibility where a person could have been for example being poisoned to death before getting shot... Are you aware of the sick world we actually are living in? This shit does happen..

  • @Kurisuchianu89 Do you think smashing up a brain is suppose to give much evidence? Admit it. shes fucking stupid LOL. She WEIGHED his organs. Its like shes trying to sell them to some type of organ bank. I mean seriously look through the video again, what can you gain from what she just did there? All you gained info from is that x-ray and that hat. shes so stupid...

  • @bnynn And what do you know?

  • @adam11mpls All anyone needs to know is a basic study of the biology in a human body to know that inaccurately mashing up and weighing organs isn't going to get you anywhere.

  • @bnynn I think she knows what she's doing, because of her long study and comitment to her job, I don't think you know what you are saying, and I also think you're a dumbass

  • @fonsvanhalsema Boy, you've got everything summed up there don't yah? Yeah, SHE may know what she's doing but IS it the most thought out way of doing it? You also have to consider this from a moral standpoint because how the fuck do you think they're going to bury that body that's all in pieces like that? You have to understand that autopsy is a multidimensional topic- its controvertible due to the many faces it has. You're just forcing your side of the fence on my lawn.

  • @rossm21uk HAHA so true.. funny lolll

    

  • @rossm21uk ur so fucking true i dont like it wen they do that, rip up the whole body for sumthing so obvious, its unethical ! there shud be a law for this shit

  • @rossm21uk its called being thorough and following state regulations

  • Come on they had to remove all of his organs just to find out whether he was SHOT OR NOT....i'd never allow them to perform an autopsy on my family members. knowing what's the cause of death won't make a person alive again so I don't really see any point in all that

  • Thats why I dont eat meat!!!

  • I WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR!!!

  • I think I can smell this man through my computer

  • Really? Did you just ask "Did he die?" Let me say this... did you not watch the video? I've never seen one person live through their own autopsy! Come on... use some common sense here people!

  • @aramsey1971 , You should also apply common sense when you think that guy was serious asking if he died or not... It was a joke...

  • @aramsey1971

    You don't get the joke :p?

  • That's the kind of work I'd like to do as I'm not fainting if I see a dead body being cut up for the authopsy but I have have one problem.....I'm extremely sensitive to bad smell

  • @jlh945 Derp.

  • I want to do this

  • @jlh945 Believing or not is irrelevant. This is how things are done, legally. Do you actually know the reasons why an autopsy is performed?? If not, I suggest you get an education or at least google it. I bet you are one of those religious fundie fucktards.

  • @jlh945 You're either a kid or a complete idiot.

  • makes you wonder how many murders are ruled suicides

  • Omg,my dad said watching stuff like that about seeing body cut up would help me become a doctor,and I shouldn't be afraid,

  • What the fuck your brain's weight have to do with anything ?!

  • An autopsy is most easily performed with a shotgun.

  • 2:00 can u sent sum of that to my house i wanna cook it and eat it yum yum omnomnomnomnomnom

  • She is right, Its about telling how the person lived, what the last moments were like right before they died. I've been doin this for 2 years and you have to make sure that it doesnt get to you.

  • wow idk why i cant handle seeing this, doesnt scare me it just makes my body feel weird thinking about what my brain looks like...i could never do this for a job.

  • how was he shot? in the head with a gun

  • There cutting up to make a meal.......brain soup

  • Awesome job!!!!

  • "cu guys tomorrow" **** no !

  • I want to smell it.

  • for some reason having "splash shield" written on her screen made me lol. Thn again I've disected rats that have been kinda mushy so I can imagine some of the bloats these guys have to slice can be a bit slushy; it's probably an accurate enough name.

  • she cooking dinner

  • shes lovely so how does such a job like this she can do

  • wow
