Cadavering

Had to buy a new computer and so we were dark for a while.

As freshman in dental school we had to take anatomy two mornings a week. 6 teams 8 cadavers. 50 all male white students. The cadaver given to our team was the smallest of the lot. Major vessels would look like a hair. It challenged us and improved our study of detail.

We respected the cadavers, made no nick names, etc.

My Mother lived close to the anatomy class and on Monday noons, I would go over to her house for lunch.

I was always starved but on one visit Mother served leftover turkey sandwiches.

I could not take a bite, after a morning of cadavering !!
