These ones have been operating even before there were medical schools and they do not need theatres. It's good that you've mentioned them. They were also in 'my mind'. I take it as a sign of 'slavery' that our bodies can become such a deep mystery, even despite humans being on earth across millennia.

Have heard that story too. Legend has it that it was actually Prof. Joseph Mungai. Only he could have done something like that. Interesting read on how he brought 10 cadavers from Makerere to set up the School of Medicine at THE. http://www.nation.co.ke/...8/-/nh9l7h/-/index.html
Lord, thank you!

One Prof. Sande's hair was always unkempt(kama ile ya lawyer khaminwa)...spoke to himself as he walked...could come driving in the morning, parks but forgets all that and calls his family for a car moments later. To ease pressure on their minds,some of them are consumers of some stuff before and/or after an operation, which they nevertheless perform quite well.
How does one operate on a patient like this? Those bodies at chiromo.....after how many practicals are they rendered useless and disposed off. Has there ever been a shortage of 'practical materials?' Oh good I feel sick asking this, but do tell.  If only they could use dummies.

Prof Kioy and Dr Hooker are neurologists. They do not operate. Add Prof Nimrod Mwang'ombe and Dr Julius Kiboi. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Oh good I feel sick asking this, but do tell.  If only they could use dummies. @MADE, have you met Prof Ogendo, the cardio-thoracic surgeon? Unkempt hair, etc. @kysse, the bodies start off whole and end up as skeletons. I think I had a skull, a pelvis and some metatarsals somewhere in my room... There's an endless supply of "bodies donated to science". At Chiromo, they are stacked one on top of the other for the freshers to slice and dice. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
