rigor mortis *, livor mortis**

it started with beautiful dream after long day of loneness , emptiness and dullness . it was a good start for my first day in the morgue . no coffee , no water just wash ur face ( w twa'9a w 9lee) wear ur white coat and go to the morgue. the doctor has a unique sarcastic personality with good jokes about medical students and i had my share :) (( nothing personal so i'm good )) .suddenly the resident entered the office with a file for 8 months girl died 5 hrs ago in home . so we went to the identification room then to the morgue when the story started .

it was a calm room with stealy bench lay on white floor and metallic tray with needed instruments. scaple ,scissors ,forcipes meters and alot of other stuff . and she was there warped by a brown blanket covering her body and face .after preparing we entered the room . it was cold and quite and suddenly i felt of a new feeling that i couldn't define . when the doctor unwrap the girl one of my female colleagues couldn't stand the view of the baby so she left the room .

والتفت الساق بالساق

كان المنظر مهيب حيث انني للمرة الاولى ارى جثة طفلة وقد التفت ساقيها وشخص بصرها

بدأ الدكتور شرحه عن كيفية اكتشاف ساعة الوفاة وعن علامات الوفاة ( اين ومتى) لكنني لم استطع ان ابعد عيناي عن ساقها الملتف و بعد التشريح ذكرني اسماعيل بالاية

(( والتفت الساق بالساق (29) إلى ربك يومئذ المساق (30)فلا صدق ولا صلى(31) ولكن كذب وتولى (32)ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى(33) أولى لك فأولى (34) ثم أولى لك فأولى(35) أيحسب الإنسان أن يترك سدى(36) ))

القيامة: ٢٩ - ٣٦

عسا الله يرحمها ويلهم اهلها الصبر والسلوان
