A video shows both an autopsy in progress and a freshly dissected body. It captures choreographies and singing performances by the participants in a course that took place in Malta.
The video, illegally distributed, was made during a break during an anatomical exercise abroad on bodies donated for study and training purposes. Even the Italian Society of Forensic Medicine and Insurance distances itself: "The behavior captured in the video is reprehensible and foreign to medical-legal culture" In Italy "it has never happened that decorum in the exercise of a professional training activity has so clearly failed", says the president of the National Federation of medical orders, surgeons and dentists (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli. And he hypothesizes "disciplinary measures against the doctors who participated", the provincial orders to which the doctors are registered will be the ones to evaluate. Italian society of forensic medicine and insurance: 'Reprehensible behavior' and 'foreign to medical culture' The course appears to have been done in Malta; Simla says it organizes them "exclusively on national territory"
