Nicole Angemi is one tough mother, end of story.
Wait, scratch that, it’s actually just the beginning of the story. This South Jersey mom of three has reached celebrity status for her gruesomely informative and unapologetic accounts of the field of human pathology, or (double-checks Wikipedia) the causes and effects of disease or injury. Basically, if it can go wrong with you, she’s the one to hold it up to the light and explain why, how, if and when it could happen to you. This pathologist assistant from Camden County, New Jersey, doesn’t skip a single gag-inducing detail, and as any of her 2 million followers can tell you, it is virtually impossible to look away.
Through her Instagram account (@Mrs_Angemi), Angemi tries to capture the grisly wonder of the human-machine when it’s at its worst. Often decayed, ruptured, inflamed, cancerous and broken, she shines a light on the comforting notion that we are indestructible and shows us that we are all, completely and totally…not.
“I feel like when people look at my page they want to know what’s going on. They want the same answers I do,” Angemi says as she analyzes her own macabre magnetism. “I always think to myself, ‘What led to this? How did this happen? Is this gonna happen to me? How can I prevent this from happening to me? I try not to post pictures unless I have real answers.
“The whole thing is super organic,” she continues. “I just do what I want to do. I sort of base it around what I hate about other people’s accounts. People follow my page mostly because they’re interested in pathology and what I’m showing. It’s not really about me, it’s about me teaching.”
