I've read it, but I've read so many (well, three or so) books about med school anatomy that I'm not sure which is which? is she the one who was at Brown and went into psychiatry? if that's the one, I really liked her writing. I've also read a book by a journalist who spent a semester in the anatomy lab with students at Emory (I think it was Emory) but I can't recall the title/author. and I'm sure I've read a third book on the same subject but don't recall any other details...obviously it was the least memorable book on the subject

yeah, she was the one from brown. i thought it was an interesting book, but it got old after a chapter or two. i feel like she found profound meaning in everything, and come on, life is just not like that.

Wow, great article! Thanks OP...
I had no idea that sometimes memorial services are held as a way to thank the families. That's really, REALLY cool. Is that just G'town, or do most schools do some form of this?

based on the places where I've interviewed, it seems most schools have some sort of memorial service for the donors and their families

Here at Downstate, they told us that we will be having a memorial service for our bodies...we are all looking forward to meeting the families to thank them for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
