Hey guys, looking for a little advice here on a disturbing situation.
I'll spare as many details and get right to the point. A student in our class (we're M1s, doing anatomy this semester, but that's another story) has recently disrespected his group's cadaver both verbally and physically. Once I overheard him making jokes about the cadaver's pubic hair. Another time he made fun of the time when his group wasn't careful about flipping the cadaver over, smashing the head into the dissecting table.
I kept my mouth shut for the time being but I really am wondering if I should go to our school's administration and let them know what's been going on. This student has acted very unprofessionally in a number of ways inside and outside of class and has demonstrated a total lack of empathy for anyone for a period of multiple months. However, since it's a well-known fact around school that we hate each other, I'm concerned it'll just look like I'm trying to take revenge. And I suppose to some extent I do want revenge, but I also see this person as someone who's going to be a terrible doctor, potentially make our school look bad someday, and most concerning of all, harm patients.
Any advice on what I should do? I can already guarantee direct confrontation will not be successful with this individual, but if you see it as the best/only option let me know. Thank you.
