The case of disease

Diseases scare us, the moment we think about them, we think death. We are afraid of death, yet it is inevitable. However, the way you die might be totally unexpected.

Cadavers provide an interesting model for understanding the body. An interesting phenomenon is that the cadavers tend to have other pathologies or problems going on with them that weren't the cause of their death. A hypothetical example (for the sake of confidentiality) is, the cause of death was throat cancer, however, when looking at the cadaver; there were other illnesses such as liver damage.

It is interesting to see what other things are wrong with the body; very very interesting!
