most of the people I work with are older pt's. A lot of them have cancer and what not.

Call the nearest medical school, from what I've heard bodies are very expensive and some school can't afford to buy them but the experience on cadavers is better than anything else.

The junior college that I go to just got a new male body in their anatomy lab. The girl that we had was gross and about 6 years old. She was all dried up and it was hard to do our lab practicals on her muscles because of that fact. The donated bodies are really expensive; according to my teacher, they're around $2000+. That's a lot. But their faces are to be always covered up and their ID not given out, obviously. The guy had a pace maker put in and you could see the wires that were wrapped around his sternum after the surgery. He also has a stent in his left iliac artery.

Teaching Hospitals, University of Arkansas Little Rock, UAMS Hospital may, since they are a teaching Hospital that works out of UA/Little Rock. Try calling the University there or emailing their Medical Department. Good Cadavers are hard to come by.
Good luck!

I know that medical universities use dead bodies all the time for their students to practice on. Check around for a local university or college that might want them.
