It’s cool to see the cadaver but I’m just curious and creeped out as to what the other side looks like. Its too freaky

I know this has been done before but if you don't mind, could you do a video on the lungs? Specifically what consuming cigarettes or vaping does over time. I'd like to see your pov on it.

To think that the “specimen” was a human being. He love, he was loved. He had dreams, some unfulfilled. He gazed into the stars and pondered the meaning of life. He has moments of ecstasy and moments of dread. And now his head is sliced in half and on a YouTube video. Life is strange.

I started having bad sinus problems awhile back and recently found out I had a deviated septum. They don't think they can fix it, and it's not from trauma, so I find it ironic that this was recommended to me. Loved it!

Im a 13 year old and i watch these videos because it fascinates me that one time these were people! And not just because of that, I like learning about the human body! I think i want to study this and do this when i grow up! I know at first is going to be hard since I have NEVER worked with a human body of course, and its a little freaky but I think going to be my profession! Thanks for showing these things and thanks for educating us! 😁✌🏼

How do you cut the head so perfectly without loosing the tissues🤔

[randycarlos]

Bro..do more of these!! I'm so fascinated of the inside of the human body

I’m 73 and have always had a deviated septum, (both sides), there have been surgical attempts at fixing this. The process seems relatively simple but the problem is a bit deeper than one might think. The reason is that the septum tissue has a memory and seems to want to grow back to it’s previous deviated state after surgery, thus negating the effects of the operation. I had a last attempt at fixing this problem about 10 years ago with one of this countrie’s best surgeons, (Melbourne, Aus.). He has fixed one side up, the other side appears to have grown back, so I guess I can live with it. I maintain that the cause was probably a very difficult forceps birth, however the surgeon prefers to keep an open mind on that , it seems that the surgery, to be successful has to virtually crush the septum into submission . It has not been a very pleasant condition to live with breathing wise and I would advise anyone with the condition to try and get the best surgeon on it but be aware of the hazards of the tissue growing back.

I was born with a deviated septum.
It's pretty mild though, I just can't breath out of my left side very well lol

[RandolphCrane]

I had this operation done, and it was very different from what is said in this video. First of all, my septum deviation occurred naturally, probably inherited from my mother who had the same issue. It was severe as well, and I actually couldn't breathe well because the "thorn" it created blocked the air flow. This was not due to trauma.
Then, the procedure was that the doctor removed a part of my septum, straightened it, and put it back in, which, to my knowledge, is the usual modus operandi when it comes to such surgeries.

[nolancummings]

Could you do a video on the human eye? I’m still confused on how it works

[lwfrtnx]

I 'm a phnemonia patient for 4 solid months and I really am happy with this video.

[katietaylor]

I had a deviated septum! Sometimes for no apparent reason, I would be unable to breathe through my left nostril. Completely blocked. Did a scan, and yup - deviated septum. The doctor said it was probably a result of falling on my head or face when I was a toddler. I had it surgically corrected in my twenties. It hurt like hell and I temporarily lost my sense of taste, but it's all healed up now and I can breathe properly again. So yeah - surgery's definitely worth it even if you look like you stole Sir Ian MacKellan's nose for the first few days. :p
