U of Hawaii Med School Guest Stars in ABC's 'Lost'

The University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine provided the set for a flashback scene in an upcoming episode of the ABC series, 'Lost.'

Producer Jean Higgins said that the Burns School's state-of-the-art lab facilities were just what was needed for the scene. "We really needed a very advanced-looking lab," she told a reporter for the Star-Bulletin of Honolulu.

The School facilities used in the shooting included a second-floor laboratory, the gross anatomy lab, and interior and exterior passageways. (Any 'bodies' that appear in the 'Lost' episode will actually be manequins. Cadavers were removed from the gross anatomy lab, and the area was sterilized, before shooting began.)

The scenes shot at the Burns School will be used for a flashback sequence involving the 'Lost' character Juliet, played by Elizabeth Mitchell. It was not clear when the episode will be aired.
