Montross, Christine, - Body of Work: meditations on mortality from the human anatomy lab.

NY, Penguin Press, 2007. 1st ptg. VG in VG DJ. When Montross met her first cadaver, instead of being disgusted, she was utterly intrigued by the person the woman. once was. They called her Eve. This is the story of Montross and Eve, the student and the subject, and the surprising relationship that grew between them. A mesmerizing glimpse into the day-to-day life of a medical student. Montross who was a poet long before she became a doctor briings an uncommon perspective to the emotional difficulty of the first-year medical student, the dispiriting task of remaining clinical and detached while in the anatomy lab and the struggle with the line you've crossed by violating another's body when you leave.
