AT THE BEGINNING OF ANATOMY, I HAD A HARD TIME SEPARATING THE IDEA OF A MORGUE FROM MY MIND WHENEVER I ENTERED THE ROOM.
THE CADAVERS WERE NOT YET CLASSROOM LEARNING TOOLS, BUT ONLY DEAD BODIES.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING A LOT. ACTUALLY, IT’S MORE LIKE VOCALIZING MY DISLIKE FOR GROSS ANATOMY.
I HATE IT. I REALLY DO.
I HATE IT.
I HATE IT.
PHEW. IT FEELS GOOD TO WRITE THAT — THERAPEUTIC IN A WAY.
EMOTIONALLY, I’VE BEEN JUMPING ON AND OFF THE BIGGEST, SCARIEST ROLLER COASTER OF MY LIFE.
SOMETIMES I FEEL CONFIDENT, EXCITED, PROFESSIONAL, AND SHALL I DARE TO SAY, SMART?
MOST OF THE TIME, THOUGH, I FEEL VERY SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT, OVERWHELMED, OUT-BATTLED, OUTSMARTED, OUT-WITTED, AND TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY OUT OF MY LEAGUE.
Carrie Zinamen, Weill, Class of 2002
THE SHEER VOLUME OF MATERIAL AND THE REALITY THAT THE PERSON ON THE TABLE WAS ACTUALLY AT ONE POINT A LIVING, BREATHING SOUL OVERWHELMED ME. I REMEMBER FEELING UNSURE OF MYSELF, MY CONFIDENCE RATTLED TO THE BONE …

IN THE COFFIN LIES THE CADAVER WAITING TO BE USED.
THE SIX INTERACTIONS (FROM TOP LEFT, GOING CLOCKWISE) ARE THE CLOSEST I COME TO UNDERSTANDING MY FEELINGS TOWARD DISSECTION.
