I was just watching something with doctors in it and got a flashback to a film I used to watch as a teenager in late 80s maybe early 90s about a bunch of American medical students. A mix of people and backgrounds
I remember cadavers being chopped up, coming of age type thing, maybe a death
Any ideas??

There’s this film called Flatliners but I doubt many people have heard of it…

😂

Really sorry if anybody has mentioned it already but could it be flatliners?

(Also, does anyone know the name of the bloke whose mum ran a chemist in Southampton?)

I don't think Flatliners did involve bodies being chopped up

sleezeandwineparty · 28/07/2022 23:48

Op comes back and says "oh and it's not flat liners"

I think there is a scene where they discuss what's going on during a dissection practical lesson.

I have no idea if it’s flatliners or not - only watched it once and don’t remember anything about it except Keifer Sutherland and Julia Roberts.

Just thought the comments were funny!

I want to nominate this thread for flatliners classics

JorisBonson · 29/07/2022 09:20

But is it Flatliners?

Merryoldgoat · 29/07/2022 09:20

i think you should call your child Balonz.

motherofawhirlwind · 29/07/2022 09:21

Cancel the cheque!

AbleCable · 29/07/2022 09:24

Could it be Vital Signs?

HA! Thank you for the unexpected laugh.

There's a Reddit page for this...top of my tongue

I'll try and think of more things but I'm busy cutting up pear and preparing a picky tea before my penguin bollards arrive.

I thought it was Flatliners before it was cool.

QuebecBagnet · 29/07/2022 18:00

Gross Anatomy with Matthew Modine?

justsaythanks · 29/07/2022 18:04

It wasn't a comedy. It was drama. Vague memory of there being a Chinese student maybe? It's bugging me and I kind of wish it was Flatliners as I'm now embarrassed for hazy details !

It wasn’t ER was it? Could you have caught an episode of that? Jing Mei was a Chinese student.

@QuebecBagnet I've had a glass of wine now but if I squint a bit and look through my wine glass that could be the line up !
