Having spent 3 years as a Medical Photographer, 2 of them in the Air
Force, at Wilford Hall Hospital, and having spent MANY hours taking both
stills and movies in surgical situations (including organ transplants),
I can say without a doubt that a photographer, sent officially to
DOCUMENT anything, has a LOT of say as to how the setting is worked.
And in the alien autopsy, there is NO indication of any true examination
of the alien.  An autopsy of a human that died from natural causes would
be more through.

They're more consistant with someone following a script.

Even in a non-critial case, FAR more care would be taken than was shown
in the AA case. It's just NOT realistic.  And you will NOT see
round-bottomed stainless steel bowls in a medical setting, they're far
too easy to tip over.  Medical trays and bowls are flat-bottomed.
