Body of Work: Meditations on Mortality from the Human Anatomy Lab Tapa blanda - 2008

de Christine Montross

In this hauntingly moving memoir of the relationship between a cadaver named Eve and the first-year medical student who cuts her open, Montross provides an uncommon perspective on the emotional difficulty a first year medical student can face.


Resumen

A "gleaming, humane" (The New York Times Book Review) memoir of the relationship between a cadaver named Eve and a first-year medical student

Medical student Christine Montross felt nervous standing outside the anatomy lab on her first day of class. Entering a room with stainless-steel tables topped by corpses in body bags was initially unnerving. But once Montross met her cadaver, she found herself intrigued by the person the woman once was and fascinated by the strange, unsettling beauty of the human form. They called her Eve. The story of Montross and Eve is a tender and surprising examination of the mysteries of the human body, and a remarkable look at our relationship with both the living and the dead.
