Perhaps... but in India, the policy is different or perhaps not enforced. Unlike in Australia.

The hospital director which happens to be the chief surgeon was also there in the OT, he is the one who instructed me to snap those photos for discussion later.

besides.. in my school's anatomy/dissection lab, one can even record a video of the entire dissection procedure on the cadaver.

I dont know about other medical schools outside of India, but the above practice are common here. Hell, I've even got 2 human skulls (real skulls, non of that plastic stuff), pelvises and several other types of bones (both male and female) in my room that I am currently using for my forensic medicine study.

Is it? In Manipal, there's strict no photo policy throughout hospital, unless with patients' consent. The no photo policy also applies to anatomy lab. Heck, we can't even bring hand phones which have camera.

I doubt they care about it, the vast majority of them neither know how to use a computer nor even care what an internet is, since such things are a luxury in most parts of India. (unlike patients in Malaysia)

Besides, most of the patient gave their permission for us to take the pictures of their ailments. Most of them are already grateful for the doctors that treated their illnesses to refuse.

It is up to us to use it, weather while presenting them in a public medical conference, lectures, awareness campaigns or even in an internet forum such as this.

permission given, why would we want to limit the spread of knowledge to others?

Well, i think that the permission was given based on the understanding that the pictures will be used solely for academic purposes, among health professionals. This is, after all, a public domain, and it's not an appropriate place for sharing such pictures. I am sure that your professors dun simply show the pics to any Tom, d***, and Harry.

Imagine this, pictures of you undergoing orchidectomy got leaked into the internet. How would you feel?

BTW, the purpose of you posting such pics is to "scare off" potential medical students who are afraid of seeing such images. Can it be considered as "academic"?

Also, pls respect the dead. They had donated their bodies to become cadavers so that medical students can learn anatomy better. They are not tools for you to scare people off.

therein lies one of the many differences between the developed world, and the 3rd world......

i am now being pedantic, but there is a distinct difference, legally, between giving permission for pictures to be taken for private, professional, and public use........

case in point being the yb elizabeth wong pixs..........

but i guess it doesn't matter in the india context.......

Again, pls dun generalise. Such practice is unacceptable in Manipal, which is part of India.
