    I think its kinda cruel that they have Peter Cluckely’s skeleton still in the same chair he had to suffer in all his life.
    Edit: To all the snarky replies-look, if I was forced to sit in a chair my entire life-I wouldn’t want my final resting place to be in that chair. Maybe it was in Cluckely’s will that he wanted to be in the chair after he died or something. I just thought it was a bit morbid. Damn…

      I think so too I also think it’s disrespectful as hell I mean he was forced to sit there in life because he couldn’t move but to leave his skeleton in the chair for the shock value of museum visitors.Karma is going to get someone for that

    My grandpa was a ww1 vet and he was one of the lucky ones he survived from being mustards gassed, then he had a plate in his head from the war. He died in 1976 when I was a kid. I am trying to find more out about his ww1 tours. I do have his enlistment and discharge paperwork written in pencil, that I found when my parents died. But when you showed that trachea from a soldier that had been gassed I was so thankful my grandfather was one of the lucky one.

    Jacob, have you been to the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia? It is the crown jewel of all medical museums and worth a trip to Philadelphia just to see it. It is like an old time side show, but it is also a serious medical research facility.

    • @heatheral-hammadi3046
      @heatheral-hammadi3046 Před rokem

      While the Mutter is very cool, if you have never heard of Body World you need to check it out. It’s a bunch of cadavers that have been preserved by a process called plastification. They dissect them in various stages. Amazing.

    Opioids are the best, and most effective drugs for pain both yesterday and in our era. There are many in the USA that suffer from chronic pain that have had their meds drastically reduced due to oppressive regulations, which is very sad, it ruins the quality of life concerning pain patients. The honest patient that abides by the guidelines is punished because of those that don't, and because of the street fentanyl [ opioid ] coming across our southern border that is killing so many people. Our healthcare should NEVER be political, it should be practiced between the Dr. and patient, only your Dr. knows your needs intimately. God bless and heal the most vulnerable amongst us.

      I have been investigating ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal in general for forty years. Yes, ghosts usually haunt the place where they die, but that's not always the case. They can haunt an object or a possession they were attached to in life, or even a place they felt a deep connection with. And what was on the museum site before it was built? I'm going to be doing some research into it, but I would love to investigate the museum itself.

    We, my brother's and sister, play with my dad's leg. He lost his leg just below the knee. I was 6 mo. Old when that happened. He was in a truck wreck. His best friend was driving, and my dad was in the sleeper. They were traveling in the mountains of northern California. For ten years, nobody knew because his friend didn't make it. Then, after 10 years, someone got a letter from a woman saying she had accidently run them if the road. We were very familiar how the legs were made because we would go to the leg shop with dad and watch. We had fun but my dad probably didn't because we were all over that shop!
