Dr. Gunther Von Hagens

There are three videos which I think every first-aider, or those who are interested in first-aid should watch. Be warned though, there are autopsies being performed on all three videos.

I am a fan of Dr. Gunther's. He is a German anatomist. Using his plastination techniques, he was the creator of the world traveling exhibition "Body Worlds". 

I find that he is a very misunderstood character in the eyes of the public. People think that he is perversely satisfying himself by dissecting cadavers and showing it to the public in the name of Science. Some even say that he is doing the Devil's work. I think that people have always hated the idea of death, so they can't accept it when it is shown to them how it is like.

In these videos, Dr. Gunther, joined by the British Red Cross, will show you how the human body works, how certain injuries can happen, what the injury does to the body, and how to execute emergency actions if it happens. If you cringe at the sight of gore, now is the time to move away from this post. If not, then do enjoy these educational videos.
