The taboos of the morgue's corpse keeper included: Taboo 1: Don't go and join in the fun when you see a patient being rescued. [Taboo 2: If you find a patient's family member throwing the items of a deceased person into the trash can, don't throw your own trash onto it.] [Taboo 3: Do not go out to see a cat when you hear it meowing at night, whether you are a patient or a family member.]
The morgue was usually located in the basement of the hospital or in the area adjacent to the operating room and emergency room. In addition to the mortuary, the basement of the hospital might also include a parking lot, equipment room, medical record room, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine department, canteen, and library. Therefore, not all basements in hospitals were morgues. They had other functions and uses.
The salary levels in the morgue were not uniform. Some documents mentioned that the salary of a morgue attendant could reach 1600 yuan per night, but some people thought that the price was too high and that two to three hundred yuan was more reasonable. In addition, there was a document that mentioned that the monthly salary of the mortuary staff was only 2500 yuan, but the hospital's income also included bonuses, benefits, and other benefits. If they did not make any mistakes, the mortuary staff could receive a bonus of more than 2000 yuan. Together with other benefits, their monthly income could reach more than 4000 yuan. In addition, there was a document that mentioned that there was a job offer for a mortuary security guard on 58 City. The salary was 9000 yuan. However, these search results did not provide a clear answer, so I could not determine whether the salary in the mortuary was high or not.
The morgue guards were usually the staff in charge of mortuary work. The morgue was a place for hospitals, funeral parlors, and other places to store bodies. It required someone to be on duty 24 hours a day to handle daily work. Therefore, the personnel guarding the mortuary had to be on standby at all times to ensure the normal operation of the mortuary.
The nurse did not need to enter the morgue. Under normal circumstances, the hospital would directly contact the staff of the funeral parlor to deal with the body of the deceased. The nurse's responsibility was to treat and care for the patient. It might involve the patient's hospice care and the final disposal of the body, but now, nurses were generally not required to do so much. Therefore, the nurse did not need to enter the morgue.
One morgue scary story is about a morgue attendant who heard strange noises coming from a supposedly empty drawer. When he opened it, he saw the body's eyes were open, as if it had just woken up. It sent chills down his spine.
One morgue horror story is about a morgue attendant who heard strange noises at night. When he went to check, he saw a body's arm had moved on its own. He was so terrified that he ran out and refused to go back alone.
One way to confirm is to check reliable news sources. Reputable news organizations usually fact - check their stories before publishing. If there's no mention in the major news, it might be a false story.
The doctor dared to go to the morgue at night. Although the hospital morgue was a place to store the bodies, the hospital would send someone to guard it at night to prevent criminals from stealing the organs from the bodies. Criminals usually chose to commit crimes in the dead of night, and the hospital would not deliberately bypass the morgue to ensure the safety of the body. Therefore, doctors would bravely enter the morgue at night.
