Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Regional Anatomy in Its Relation to Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2 There has been a great deal said of the importance of anatomical knowledge, which is universally conceded to be the foundation of the study of medicine. As a teacher of anatomy, I have used all my influence to impress this on the minds of students, assuring them that the best book on anatomy is, and always will be, the body itself. In the curricula of the colleges and universities this is emphasized by a compulsory course in the dissecting-room, and each candidate for a degree is obliged to dissect three parts - the head, and the extremities, with contiguous portions of the trunk - at least once. From the knowledge gained by these dissections, and from lectures and textbooks, a student is supposed to acquire the information necessary to enable him to work intelligently and beneficially in his profession. He is expected to learn anatomy from his three parts. Considering the facts that the first part is generally wasted in acquiring the methods of using the instruments; that all the parts are seldom carefully injected with proper preservative; that the student rarely has the opportunity of seeing the viscera of the cranium, thorax, and abdomen in situ, much less of examining them and noting their size or structure and their relative positions to one another and to the cavities which contain them; and that often the value of the opportunity is not estimated until it is lost, it cannot be a matter of wonder that students look upon anatomy as one of their chief difficulties, and that only a few continue its study after graduation. There are many practical obstacles in the way of obtaining better and more abundant material for such research; but, after some years experience, I am forced to acknowledge that, even if these obstacles were overcome, the distaste for the actual labor of dissecting, which, besides being exacting, is associated with much that is revolting, and even hazardous to health, would deter many students from gaining that practical knowledge from personal observation which would enable them to recognize the different tissues by the sense of touch as well as by the sense of sight. In a crowded lecture-room only those who are very near can see the demonstrations so as really to profit by them.
