For those who read my previous article, time to redeem the diaphragm and celebrate what it can do! I would just like to point out that a google search reminded me to tell you all I’m referring to the thoracic muscle and not the contraceptive method or any other diaphragms in the human body that...

As per any day when we are conducting post-mortems in the mortuary, we started by getting the people out of the fridges and loading them onto the struts... Continue Reading →
