Someone may invite you to attend “pathology rounds” or “the pathology seminar”, or some such event, emphasizing how few pharmacy students are ever interested and what a great learning experience it is. You may overhear that they only review cases of patients who have expired. This is because, after the case review, the associate professor who heads up the pathology department is going to lug out a large stainless-steel tray full of the fixed and sliced organs of the recently-decreased.

I would suggest that you get the pale/flushed episodes, dry heaves and meditations on the horror of the dead body out of the way before you go, because you are going to have to stand on a chair to see anything over the heads of all those tall medical interns.
