Medical students hold service to tribute cadavers
By Jessica Drummond and Juliana Chan | February 15, 2001The lab coats were neatly hung on the far wall of the Medical School's gross anatomy lab. The operating tools were put away almost two months ago - yet some first-year Medical students had some unfinished business. On Friday, with a tinge of formaldehyde still lingering in the air, about 90 first-year medical students walked back into the now-empty dissection room to pay respects to people they never knew, but bodies they knew all too well. It was a memorial service dedicated to the group of people who donated their bodies for study by Medical School students.
