Personal Narrative: The Anatomical Gift Program

Improved Essays
I was awarded the opportunity to attend an event hosted by the University of Vermont Medical School. It was held in recognition of the Anatomical Gift Program. In celebration and expression of gratitude towards organ donors and their families, the medical school courteously organized a day of education appealed to students who exemplify an interest in medicine.

The experience comprised of a demonstrative and informative exploration of the cadaver lab. The exposure to the deconstruction of the human body, and the unwonted circumstance of physical interaction with human brains, hearts, intestines, skeletons, and cadavers offered insight that is unattainable in a traditional classroom.

Two cadavers were present, and in haste and inattention,

    In addition to dissecting organisms, I also learned about various parts of the human body, from those in the skeletal system, to those in the cardiovascular system. Through both of these courses, my passion and knowledge in science and medicine grew.

    Each year, members of the community gather at the HAPpy Museum, a night full of exhibits by Human Anatomy and Physiology (HAP) students. The exhibits show how beautiful and delicate the human body is. Instead of making it another assignment, Dr. Heavers encouraged students like myself to “curate” the museum and gain both valuable education and valuable leadership experience. The students connected with prominent community figures, advertised the museum, and ran the event. Presenting and enriching the information changed me more than reading the information out of a textbook would have.…

    According to organdonor.gov, every 10 minutes, a new person is added to the organ transplant list (“The Need Is…”). That’s 144 people each and every day. With the help of human cadavers, those 144 people can be helped and be given the opportunity for a more prolonged life. Mary Roach uses her book, Stiff, to inform people of the impact that their body and organs can have on so many people’s lives.…

    Mary Roach, in her 2003 non-fiction book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, offers captivating insight into what happens to bodies once they are donated to science. Roach sheds light on the sometimes dark history of cadaver usage and medicine, raising important questions about ethical and moral concerns related to those actions taken for the sake of increasing scientific knowledge. From being used as crash-test dummies to practice for anatomy students to populating body farms in the name of forensic science, human cadavers have been put to use in many, and often shocking, ways. However, the general public is unaware of what happens beyond those medical school dissections and the extreme other uses--such as plastic surgery experiments…

    The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act includes these types of transplants; kidney transplants, liver transplants, pancreas transplants, intestine transplants, heart transplants, and lung transplants. In addition to organ transplants, tissue may also be used, for example; the heart valves, bone, skin, corneas, and connective tissues. Donating organs and/or tissues after death is a selfless act that can save countless lives. In April of 2007 there were approximately 96,000 people on the organ transplant waiting list (Gaines, K. (2007)). Unfortunately not all of them were able to receive the transplant simply for the reason that there is not enough organ donors.…

    They call them “Tap-taps,” the brightly painted open back trucks that transport passengers through the dusty streets of Haiti. A traveler taps the side of the vehicle to board, pays, rides and then taps to jump off at a desired destination. For one particular man who sat with his face covered by a towel, that destination was the Diegue clinic in Port-au-Prince. All I knew from intake was that this patient was here for a foot issue. I noticed the adult sitting uncomfortably, a towel wrapping his foot, as his eyes scanned around the room.…

    Most little girls dream of being a ballerina when they grow up, I was the little girl who dreamed of medical school. Anyone who was brave enough to ask got my vehement no when asked if I thought that the college, subsequent medical school, and training would be too much school or that I would get bored. I decided very early that to be a doctor was one of the most exciting things that a person could chose to be and my fantastic pediatrician was the initial spark for this love of medicine. The care that I could see him exhibit in his daily operations as well as the ease at which he interacted with patients and parents alike inspired me. His knowledge was fascinating and I longed to have that level of understanding of the human body.…

    There are volumes that do specialise in discussing medical museums which include more human tissue, as opposed to other human remains that a wide variety of history and archaeological collections hold. Many of these important texts are written by Dr. Samuel Alberti, who once was the Director of Museums and Archives at the Royal College of Surgeons and currently works at the National Museums of Scotland (NMS). These texts, such as Samuel Alberti’s “Morbid Curiosities: Medical Museums in Nineteenth-Century Britain” and “Medical Museums: Past, Present, and Future” focus on the human remains and other objects that are part of medical collections, but they are not analysed from a technical care point of view. The focus is more about the history…

    I looked down astonished at the beating heart before me. The surgeon attempted to clarify the procedure he was performing, but I was too busy trying to detect the clear string he was sewing in and out of the heart. I was in awe of his comfort with teaching an undergraduate student how to successfully execute a coronary artery bypass surgery, as if he knew I was interested in that specialty. He explained the condition of the patient and while I did not understand the terminology, I nodded with the satisfaction that one day I would. It was the first time I had observed an open heart surgery.…

    I walked into the operating room, bile rising in my stomach as I saw all the shiny sterile equipment. Fear is a small price to pay for knowledge, but at this moment, I weighed the possibility of oblivion. No, I had gone through too much to back down now. This exploratory surgery was supposed to give me more information than the MRI and Catscan that I had months earlier.…

    Having a deep-rooted interest in diseases and gross anatomy has always been a challenge to explain to people. They always ask, “Why would such a nice and intelligent person be interested in such a morbid and repulsive thing?” I would simply respond, “disease affects everyone in one way or another, aren’t you curious as to what’s happening inside of you?” My fascination with pathology extends far back into my childhood, when I was in and out of the hospital being treated for a peculiar set of symptoms. When I was finally diagnosed with gastroenteritis, abdominal migraines, and cluster migraines at the ripe age of 11, I had no idea what any of those words actually meant.…

    Shaguphta Shaikh, the assistant professor of the department of anatomy at Somaiya Medical College writes about how cadaveric dissection is an integral part of medical school, but has recently turned heads about ethical concerns. As a medical professional herself, she acknowledges that ethics do not come to mind for many because they focus on the bodies' potential for research and training purposes. Throughout history, cadavers have been a taboo subject and now with technological advances that could replace cadaver dissection, society is once again questioning if cadaver dissection is respectful of human life. This piece acknowledges the argument that cutting open a human body lessens the value of human life, but Shaikh argues that proper etiquette…

    A few months ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to visit the Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier, California with my IB Biology class. Here we were able to interact with premature and stillborn babies to learn about their development and also to examine and hold the organs inside of a human body. For example, I was able to hold a human brain, heart, ribcage, liver, and so on. I was fascinated with the concept that these organs had once been inside a living body, and that they had been the reason that person had been alive. I especially took interest in the brain, because of the knowledge and information it had once possessed.…
