| A new book uses photographs to tell the history of a medical school essential, human anatomy taught through dissection. We'll talk with James M. Edmonson, Chief Curator of the Dittrick Medical History Center and co-author of the new book "Dissection: Photographs of a Rite of Passage in American Medicine 1880-1930," about what can be learned from old med school snapshots. |
