Gross anatomy

September 7, 2007

Surgeon Sid Schwab with his take:

The sequence seems wrong: if such dissection is to be done, it ought to be by those more knowledgable and honed. Absent context, it can become clutter. Cardiologists need to have the experience of holding a heart in their hands (and to see one beating in the operating room); how much more meaningful to do it later in the process. As students, it’s like a White House document dump: too much information, no hooks on which to hang it.
