I'm a Pathology resident and for our party this year we have to dress like a disease. Any good ideas?

Hey.. I'm actually thinking along those same lines.. I'm a MLT working on the MT.

Anywho.. I was actually thinking more along the lines of what would be something that would leave good marks after death. (I keep phrasing it as "a good disease to die of" which is not only bad grammar but makes people give me horrified looks.) The two that are in the running for me are Ebola (thinking of blood coming out of just about everywhere) or just good ol' Black Death. Of course, any sort of pox could be fairly easy to do as well.

Although, one of my supervisors told me I could just act like myself and say I have neurosyphilis.

I don't feel so geeky anymore. :wink:

I imagine leprosy would be an interesting costume.
