Doctor Mike and Mortician React To “Six Feet Under”
Переглядів 2,092,410
3 роки томуCaitlin Doughty is the creator behind the UKposts channel “Ask A Mortician” where she normalizes death and educates her audience about what happens after… well… you know. Being the brilliant mortician she is, I thought it would make a lot of sense for us to not react to a medical drama, but a death drama, so we watched HBO’s Six Feet Under. Despite my years of medical training and experience, there isn’t a lot I know about what happens to the human body after it dies, so Caitlin enlightened me to things such as what happens to prosthetics, the smells of a mortuary, and what happens to your various orifices.

@@johnpeace971 I hope you do know that average lifespan doesn't mean people died at that age. It means there were so many that died in childhood that the average got lowered. Most who lived to adulthood would be between 60 and 90 when they did back then too. Higher average lifespan just means not as many die young.

Their conversation about seeing random bodies vs someone you know is so real. When my boyfriend died, I spent some time with his body shortly after. And it was an incredibly eerie, but also heartbreaking experience. There's something about the way a dead person looks, particularly with the eyes. It was so uncannily sad to look into his eyes, and for the first time know that nobody is looking back at you. He didn't look asleep, he looked dead. He died with his eyes open wide. And I'll never get that image out of my head. But still, I don't regret it. I got to spend one last intimate moment with him.

well, I can think of at least one subset of patients he's failed to do that with... of course, from his perspective, they were already sick and not complying with treatment, so he might just consider it a lost cause there. Because if he wanted to effectively prevent those people from becoming corpses, he'd tell them, "just exercise and eat healthy and try not to worry about your body size" (be pro-HAES) instead of assuming weight loss doesn't work for 95% of fat patients because they're ignorant, lazy, or have no willpower (even when his own guest at the time was like "no, it's systemic factors"). I don't know how many corpses he's created with that kind of mentality.

My aunt died very recently and I immediately went back to work at the “body farm” at my school and the first donor I put out I actually sobbed because all I could think of was this was someone’s family that died just like my aunt. Luckily my anthropology teacher was there with me and told me it didn’t mean that I was “weak” but that I was feeling normal emotions that would pass. Seeing a dead body is always strange but I guess I had gone callused to it until I lost someone very close to me.

Doing the job you and your peers do is hard, and feeling sad once in a while is actually good. Humans are adaptable social creatures and as such we are usually afraid of death but can be trained to put those emotions aside. I think its entirely natural to feel sad and cry when someone close to you dies. Working with dead bodies or studying death... i dont think youd be able to stay sane unless you found a way to separate your feelings and your logical nature. I dont know what you do or what your job really entails but id strongly suggest having a professional to talk to. Not because you'll go crazy but rather so that you have a way of dealing with your own thoughts and dont get depressed

Before my Mother passed away, she left strict instructions on what was to be done. She didn't want to be embalmed and no open casket or church service. We respected her wishes, but when she did pass, my sisters and I washed her body with oils and water like they did long ago. The most intimate moment, taking one last care of her. Washed, dressed and did her hair one last time. We were able to respect her wishes and help our grieving at the same time.

My grandmother washed and laid out the dead as part of the job of being a minister's wife. Here's a fun fact: houses that were built before the invention of the funeral home had one of the interior doors hung with what are called "coffin hinges." Instead of having to remove pins to get the door off the pins are fixed and the door is lifted off the pins and then set on chairs to put the coffin on.

I really appreciate how the mortician lady addresses that it's okay not to react a certain expected way when faced with the death of a loved one. When my grandpa died, I was entirely unable to cry, yet I was grieving. As opposed to when my cat died, where I basically broke and couldn''t stop crying for 10 days, and was completely hysterical. When you love someone, your reaction to their passing can vary as much as the relationships themselves did, and that's okay. You're still grieving, just in your own way.

The only advice I ever give to a friend or family member who has lost a loved one is to slow down. The way we speed through the entire process from the last breath through the burial or cremation doesn't give people enough time to deal with their emotions. I'm not sure exactly what it's like in other areas, but in Tennessee and most Southern states, the bereaved are expected to play host and comforter to guests and other people who come to pay their respects. We typically go to the funeral home on the same day or the next after someone dies. We hurriedly make plans while still reeling from the shock of death. We book a time for visitation and the funeral. It all usually takes place in the matter of a couple of days. Rushing through my dad's funeral process left us without the chance to just take our time with his body and each other. I can't remember even seeing my brothers. We were all children and we were smothered by grieving adults who were leaning on us for support in their pain instead of the other way around. Now that I've experienced more loss, including my husband, I take things much more slowly and relaxed. The "that's just their shell" mentality has never sat right with me. I know their spirit, soul, life force, or whatever you believe no longer exists, that is still the earthly physical representation of that person. I remember looking at my mother's hands and just memorizing everything about them. Her body grew me, sustained me, and held me and all of the wonderful things mothers do. In the Christian bible, humans are referred to as body and spirit/soul. Just because one is no longer alive doesn't mean their body means nothing to their loved ones. Anyway, that's my long-winded way to suggest that you should slow down, take your time, and, if possible, spend time with their body. It has helped me tremendously. It may not work for you, but offer the opportunity to the others who loved the deceased. Also, regardless of your age, make a plan for your funeral. Just picking out a casket helps tremendously. ❤

It really is wild how different and personal the grieving process is for people. I thought I was going to be a wreck when my grandmother passed away. I was sad and cried some but was holding together better than I expected. Then, a few weeks later, as I was alone and cleaning out her house I pulled out her night stand and a pile of tissues that had fallen behind it kind of tumbled out. I don't know what it was about this little reminder of when my grandmother was alive with a simple act of sitting in her bed and blowing her nose but I just broke down and started sobbing and couldn't stop. I had thought I was over the worst of it after her funeral but it didn't actually hit me and feel real until that moment.
@godrickstockwell1505 3 місяці тому
Grief is weird. My friend Jeff has a really good way of describing it, "Grief is like a ball bouncing in a box and inside that box is a button that causes distress when it's hit. At first the ball is really big so it presses the button almost constantly. Over time the ball shrinks so it doesn't hit the button as much. Sometimes though it can hit that button out of nowhere and it feels just as raw as when that button was being pressed all the time."

When my husband died, I was allowed to see him almost straight away, and he looked exactly the same, just paler. It looked like he was sleeping, and I swear it even looked to me like he was breathing. He was room temperature, not cold, but not his usual warmth. The next day he looked exactly the same, but he was extremely cold. They had moved him to a refrigerated part of the hospital. I was surprised he didn't look any different from the day before. I expected something to be different. After that I wasn't allowed to see him again and he was cremated after a week. I'm glad I got to spend some time with his body. If he had died of covid, I wouldn't have had the luxury. He wasn't the first person I saw dead (his mom had passed seven years earlier) but my entire life had been planned around his continued existence and I'm not done dealing with his abrupt removal from the rest of my life. He enjoyed both of you guys' channels. I remember seeing him watch this video back when it first came out and I'm glad I finally got around to watching it too.

They appreciated we tried to still have fun with her while we had her, teasing each other and joking around.

It looked like a lie, and I swore to myself I would not end up like that - death is death, I understand covering up any wounds or gore but let me be pale, geez. 💀

I went to a funeral for a friend in high school as well. Unfortunately she overdosed. I hated seeing her in that box. She looked like she could be alive aesthetically, but all of the life was gone. She was such a vibrant soul in life. So the lack of her personality and the juxtaposition of the perfect face was so jarring to me I understand it can help for some to view the body but I dont ever want to go to an open casket funeral again. And mine will not be either, keep the pretty boxes, chemicals, and make up away. I just want to decompose naturally and return to nature

People brought their dogs along and everyone was in wellies. She said it was lovely. Also nothing was done to the body. Sorry for the tangent it juat sounds like you wanted something natural.

Recently my cat died and when we found her rigor mortis has set in and the experience was very enlightening. Holding my cat before you can feel all the idiosyncrasies of life skin moving, lungs breathing, muscles flexing. Holding the corpse it was very stiff, all those little processes had become still. It kind of felt like an overly hard cushion is the best comparison I can find. There was a noticeable difference between alive and not the body I had found was very much in away not my cat even if it was her body. We buried her under a tree sapling in the backyard wrapped in a towel for a shroud. Something to note for people outside the death industry is we are very disconnected from what goes into laying a person or pet to rest and I really do feel that being part of that process did a lot to help me move on. Just my thoughts on what will hopefully be my closest experience with the difference of alive and not.

We lost my beautiful grandma last year, she was my best friend -- my everything. She cut my cord when I was born and I was adamant I was going to be with her as she left this world. For 7 long days and nights I sat by her (only leaving her to go to the toilet or to shower), waiting for her to go. It was traumatic to see someone I loved go but I would do it again and again to know she wasn't alone (and she's no longer in pain). What Caitlin said about the body seeming like a shell was my reaction after she had passed. That lady who had now stopped breathing, and her heart stopped pumping was not my grandma anymore, she was a body. Her laugh, her smile, her voice were now figments only in my memories. I felt so guilty at the time that I felt so disconnected to her body but now, a year later I understand that it was my coping mechanism and in the long run helped me be at peace and grieve. Thank you for validating my feelings with that response -- I often wondered if something was wrong with me to feel that way...

When my dad's father passed, I wanted to see the body, but the adults wouldn't let me since I was 7. He was cremated right away. I took that death pretty badly, although it was not my first loved one to die, because I just wanted to see him one last time. to be honest it was knowing he was already ashes that made me burst into tears for 3 days, not really the fact that he had died (we all knew it was coming). When my mother's father passed, it was open casket with night-long wake. It was my first time seeing a dead body in a casket, all dressed up and embalmed. Seeing him like that, I felt at peace. That wasn't my grandpa anymore. It had been, but no longer. I don't think I even cried at the funeral, because although I had been sad upon first hearing of his death (it was an accident, not an illness, so unexpected) I felt numb up until the day of the funeral, and then I just felt peace watching over the body all night, knowing that wasn't him anymore.

When my best friend died, the viewing was emotionally difficult, but it was indeed good closure. She didn’t die in a “traumatic” way, a heroin OD left her braindead and she was ultimately taken off life support. However, she lived rough for years and essentially already looked like a corpse when she was still living because of her addiction. Her funeral director took care to make her look presentable; not alive, but much easier to view. I understood that she was no longer there, but I appreciated very much that someone treated her with the final dignity she deserved.

@ScrewgeMcF_ck 3 роки тому
While she may be for doing what’s beneficial to the environment, she doesn’t really rally against embalming as a practice. She’s said there are circumstances in which she’d recommend doing so (i.e. transporting the deceased over long distances, extended viewing/visitation durations). Overall, she really just wants a world in which people’s previous wishes regarding their final resting circumstances to be upheld fully. If a person would prefer being embalmed after death, she’s all for it being done. So long as it’s specifically been made clear by them before their death. Her biggest issue, however, is with the more traditional and/or capitalistic ways in the funeral industry. The misinformation that bodies HAVE to present in one way, otherwise the family supposedly doesn’t really appreciate their loved one(s) enough to spend more money. The way they knowingly prey on the already grieving, manipulating them into spending even more money on things their loved one(s) never would’ve wanted.
@Tippel3 3 роки тому
The whole embalming thing happening in the US is so strange to me. It's really, really rarely done here. Actually I don't know anyone who has ever been embalmed or anyone who has ever asked to that being done to the dead family member or whatever. Embalming here really just happens if there is a good reason for it or it's necessary because of i.e. long transportations etc. On the other hand, graves here are also taken down after 20-25 years (because the soil just did it's thing and the body is gone), except you really want to keep it and pay for another 25 years and then rinse and repeat the process or just let the dead be dead and give up the grave. Some people like to make a family grave, basically a double space and you can bury 4 corpes in there, while I have seen more names on one gravestone, so they basically re used it for their family instead of taking a new one (not possible everywhere) Imagine keeping all the graves forever, eventually you'll just run out of space (even in the USA). It will hit a point where you have more space that is saved up for the dead as for the living. At least I am told that graves in the US aren't taken down and re-used, I don't know if that differs in the states or what.

@@Tippel3 Yeah, here in the states we have what’s known as a “perpetuity clause”. This means, once our burial plot is paid for, we stay there forever. Which sucks, because certain areas are running out of space. I love the idea of shared family plots. Some places like New Orleans, Louisiana still uphold that practice. But most places in the US have made it illegal to have shared family plots.

@@ScrewgeMcF_ck perpetuity is a strange concept, especially when imagining the future. Not just the problem with running out of space, what is inevitable. But also how are you going to give any kind of land to someone forever? Maybe in 200 years another war changes country lines, cultures, land etc etc. A grave for 4 people can be made/bought everywhere here, you just need to know from the start because the first 2 bodies will get buried way further down. Just actually re-using the same one and do it again isn't possible everywhere. But I always remember my grandma saying: don't bury me deep down, I don't want to be forced to face someone elses buttcrack for decades 😂😂 That actually gave us a bit of trouble as she was the first person that ended up getting buried there and it was kind of a macabre tetris, just to make sure my grandma doesn't need to look in someones elses buttcrack 😂

Yeah... it's usually never a good sign when results are in, they're unreleased in your EMR, and the doctor wants to have a chat in person to "go over the results." But it did go well once lol
