I had a friend who worked as a ‘transport aide’ in an anatomy lab at a medical school that was attached to a hospital. The organizations had an agreement: amputated body parts, as well as whole corpses that were either pre-designated to the med school, or unclaimed after a period of time, went to the anatomy lab so med students could learn from them. His job was to transport these items from the hospital to the med school lab.
