Mortuary Assistant Question:
Tell me what does your working day look like?
Answer:
I now spend my days in a beautiful Grade II Listed Building on the grounds of St Bart's Hospital, surrounded by over 5000 anatomical specimens (the oldest of which is from 1756). I conserve the 'pots' by cleaning them and topping them up, and I also arrange them and catalogue them. I'm helping to design a new public website and working on some very interesting Public Engagement projects to really bring Pathology to life (excuse the pun…) I have a unique seminar series coming up which includes a lecture on the death of Marilyn Monroe, a vampire evening (complete with ingestible blood) which is also to coincide with National Pathology Year's blood month (November) and a talk from Joanna Ebenstein of the blog 'Morbid Anatomy' who is coming all the way from New York.
