yea its not just with models exported from med either. Happens with pretty much any .3ds file ive found.Think its a problem with blenders 3ds import.

What i did for a work around is downloaded wings3d which is free also. Export as 3ds import into wings3d... then export as obj and import that into blender.

Works except the orientation of the model gets switched and my model ends up on his back....
