[City Hospital, Vienna]

00:15.340 --> 00:37.010
[Camera pans around the outside of the hospital.]

00:37.010 --> 00:47.160
[Doctors are gathered around a corpse lying on a table, talking amongst themselves.]

00:47.160 --> 00:57.180
[At another table, two more doctors are cutting and organizing organs.]

00:57.180 --> 01:02.410
[One doctor slices a crescent shape into a man's chest from shoulder to shoulder.]

01:02.410 --> 01:05.790
[The doctor then slices a line straight down from the center of the crescent to the bottom of the abdomen.]

01:05.790 --> 01:11.120
[He pauses to turn and speak to others.]

01:11.120 --> 01:14.660
[Other doctors then help to pull the skin apart to expose the organs.]

01:14.660 --> 01:24.050
[Two doctors work to slice tissue and skin off of the rib cage.]

01:24.050 --> 01:36.280
[The skin is then peeled back further around the throat and lower abdominal muscles to give doctors more room to operate.]

01:36.280 --> 01:56.450
[Two doctors carefully cut through the rib cage and remove it from the body.]

01:56.450 --> 02:18.730

02:18.730 --> 02:23.270
[The doctor rinses his hands in a bowl of water near the feet of the corpse to remove excess tissue from his gloves.]

[He speaks to others preparing to work on the corpse.]

02:31.520 --> 02:45.660
[Two doctors cut out the lungs and place them on a separate table.]

02:45.660 --> 02:57.990
[The primary doctor then makes an incision in the lungs.]

02:57.990 --> 03:19.070
[The doctor exchanges words with one of the doctors standing nearby, possibly explaining the process to him.]

03:19.070 --> 03:29.200
[The skin on the face has been peeled back and now the doctor is removing flesh near the nose.]

03:29.200 --> 03:43.380
[The doctor makes several incisions into the skull.]

03:43.380 --> 03:53.570
[He peers down at the skull, then looks up and around.]

03:53.570 --> 04:03.970
[Another person hands the primary doctor a hammer and chisel which he uses to crack the skull.]

04:03.970 --> 04:15.610
[He uses the chisel to create more openings on the sides of the skull.]

04:15.610 --> 04:21.930
[The top of the skull is removed and the doctor uses his finger and scalpel to carve out the brain.]

04:21.930 --> 04:34.750
[The doctor picks away pieces of the skull from the brain and places it on the table.]

04:34.750 --> 04:46.360
[The primary doctor begins to speak to the other doctors again, likely telling them something else about the process.]

04:46.360 --> 04:49.990
[The doctor continues his explanation to the other doctors as they observe the way he is handling the brain.]

04:49.990 --> 05:16.795
[The primary doctor rubs his fingers along the different regions of the brain and turns to his left to offer explanations to others.]
