Body of Knowledge: One Semester of Gross Anatomy, the Gateway to Becoming a Doctor
Medical Gross and Developmental Anatomy makes or breaks aspiring doctors; more students leave medical school during this course than any other. Now Steve Giegerich puts readers in the classroom as potential doctors come face to face with their first human cadaver and dissects the factors that determine whether they succeed or fail. In January of 1999, one hundred and eighty-one students at the University of Medicine and Dentistry, Newark, began a course in Gross Anatomy. Among them were Sherry Ikalowych, a former nurse and mother of four; Jennifer Hannum, an ultra-competitive jock; Udele Tagoe, a determined Duke graduate of Ghanaian decent; and Ivan Gonzalez, a Nicaraguan refugee and unlikely medical student. For these four lab partners, the cadaver, Tom Lewis, lying on the stainless steel table remains anonymous during dissection; but for the reader, Lewis springs to life. As the students grapple with love, hate, power, and awe, Giegerich also explores Lewis's life and his generous decision to donate his body to science. Ultimately, as the students gain reverence for medicine, they develop, too, gratitude for Lewis's thoughtful gift. An ideal gift for doctors and students -- and for fans of E.R. -- Body of Knowledge will take its rightful place alongside Peggy Anderson's Nurse and William Nolen's The Making of a Surgeon.

Chapter One


At mid-morning on Tuesday, April 1, 1997, a late-model station wagon, ordinary but for the smoked glass obscuring its rear windows, turned from South Orange Avenue into the main entrance of the New Jersey Medical School parking lot. From the driveway, the car made a hard left, descending immediately down a ramp leading to a submerged loading dock.

Because the height of the dock accommodated trucks, not cars, the driver parked off to the side. Unlatching the tailgate, he slid his delivery from the vehicle. Workers in another venue might have been unsettled by what emerged from the cargo hold, but in this environment no one paid the slightest attention. Here, dead bodies were a matter of course. Every day, someone was either coming — into the embalming room operated under the supervision of the NJMS anatomy department — or going — the dock also served as the dispatch point for undertakers retrieving the deceased from the medical school's sister institution, Newark's University Hospital.

Once the collapsible gurney was removed from the station wagon, the driver clicked the stretcher into position and wheeled i ... read full excerpt from: Body of Knowledge: One Semester of Gross Anatomy, the Gateway to Becoming a Doctor ebook
