Being a donor is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give to another human. I don’t encourage this from the sidelines, I am also a registered living donor and always will be. I love this company and have worked with them off and on for the last couple years. Every single design you see is drawn by hand. Give them a visit! - Jessie

“You may take notes for twenty years, from morning to night at the bedside of the sick…and all will be to you only a confusion of symptoms, which, not being united in one point, will necessarily present only a train of incoherent phenomena. Open up a few bodies; this obscurity will soon disappear. Which observation alone would never have been able to dissipate.” - French anatomist Marie-François-Xavier Bichat.
“Elite physicians from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment had based their diagnoses on the concerns and complaints of wealthy patients, for whom physical examination would have been an unwarranted intrusion by a social inferior. Bichat mocked these medical servants, sitting patiently at the bedsides of the wealthy and listening to stories of sickness. In large urban hospitals, crammed with the sick, voiceless poor, his students could diagnose and dissect on a near-industrial scale, learning to correlate symptoms in life with lesions in death. These lesions were (at least in principle) amenable to surgical intervention in ways that generalized humoral imbalances were not, and the clinical gaze of Paris medicine gave fresh prominence to surgeons and their craft. New instruments like the stethoscope, new techniques for recording symptoms like the fever chart, new statistics compiled from thousands of standardized case records - all these were used to visualize disease within the patient's body and distinct from the patient's voice.”

Beautiful post via @morbidanatomy on Instagram.
“The body of a man with his head shaved and his trunk dissected to reveal the viscera. Coloured lithograph by William Fairland, ca. 1869. Wellcome Collection.
A watercolor lithograph of the internal organs of an eighteen-year-old boy who died suddenly. First dissected and outlined using transparent tracing frames by physician F.
Sibson, and then illustrated by William Fairland to obtain such detail. Later hand-colored by Mr. Sherwin.
How are we to understand life if not carefully dissecting death with reverence and care?”

“Most importantly to me, is that the exercise of dissection was presented to us in medical school as ‘this is your first patient and you should treat that patient with utmost respect.’ This is a person who gave up their entire mortal coil so they could pass on the gift of this knowledge to you, and that is a gift to this day that I call upon. I think about that cadaver every single time I practice medicine and that is why I am a big proponent of cadaver dissection in medical schools to this day.”
