Anatomy was our initiation to medical school. We came fresh from college-bright-eyed, dedicated, and ready to work, vve thought. And then the fun began. After a brief speech by Dr. Bocabella about how we shouldn't worry about things academic, off we went to meet our cadavers. Remember how gallantly we offered our dissecting partners the honor of making the first incision? What a beginning for a career of .. great medical healing! ln the days and weeks that followed, we found out what a ding-dong practical was, and how long a written exam could be. And can we ever forget those lectures by Dr. Curtis, briefly reducing three-dimensional anatomy to a two-dimensional blur on the blackboard? We learned that Dr. Miranti, with Dr. Net- ter's help, could explain lust about everything there was to anatomy, in about eight hours or so. But most of all, we I learned anatomy. When sophomore year rolled around, we had a new depart- ment head. We now faced what some called the double jeopardy course-sophomore clinical anatomy. lt turned out to be a re-hash of first year anatomy, and suffered from or- ganizational problems. But the review was helpful and only mildly traumatic. As we look back now, what can be said about the value of what we went through in these two courses? The answer seems obvious-to treat patients one must know how patients are put together. And many of the acts we will be performing as physicians will be based onthe anatomy we learned in our first months in medical school. E.
