The Ghost In The Machine
Yes, another medical slide, and to my untrained eye it appears to be a torso / spine.
The post's title just came to me in a flash, and it's worth having a read of the Wikipedia article. The title is a phrase coined by the Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle to describe the Cartesian dualist account of the mind–body relationship. Koestler shares with Ryle the view that the mind of a person is not an independent non-material entity, temporarily inhabiting and governing the body.
It's also an Album by The Police, which has my fave track of theirs.

X-Ray Specs
Using my pair of Acme co X-Ray Specs, I can confidently diagnose this patient as having Dave's Syndrome.
Or having swallowed a Balloon animal.

Right. The medical slides.
Quite unsettling.

You know that phrase "Organised Chaos"? I struggle to see any organisation here.

X-Ray Ted
OK. Right.
An X-Ray obviously, but umm...no other info available.
From a set of assorted medical training slides, so I'm guessing it's a human. Child perhaps?

[ Sharp intake of Breath ]
Yes, it looks like an acute case of "Dave's Syndrome". Potentially fatal, but with a hibernation phase of 60-120 Years.
Bonus - Breaking Bad, as played by the gentlemen of Downton Abbey
