Comments on: The Doctors’ Mob Riot https://www.damninteresting.com/curio/the-doctors-mob-riot/ Fascinating true stories from science, history, and psychology since 2005 Wed, 25 May 2022 23:00:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 By: jarvisloop https://www.damninteresting.com/curio/the-doctors-mob-riot/#comment-74443 Wed, 25 May 2022 23:00:11 +0000 https://www.damninteresting.com/?p=376#comment-74443 I have read that Nazi surgeons used Jews et al so that they could prepare incredibly detailed color drawings of the bodies’ interiors. Even today, surgeons occasionally use “the book” to save a patient’s life. However, they use it with great reluctance and many moral qualms because of the origins of “the book.”

(I am not positive, but I think that I had read that the Nazi surgeons sometimes performed vivisections.)

He furthered medical research by providing the most detailed drawing and diagram of the human heart than what was available before that time. They say that it was doctor’s were actually encouraged to study a corpse should they ever get the opportunity.

And John Jay, future cheif justice of the Supreme Court, was knocked out by a rock. How would you like to beam a judge in the face? Ah, gotta love mass chaos :P

And it was one huge coincidence that the medical student picked this kid to mess around with.

I wish that sentence had been:

“In the morning Governor George Clinton called out the funk! And many doctors boogied and got down.”
