Class of 2003
October 13, 1999

All of these wonderful people who donated their bodies for us to learn from have given us the greatest gift possible ¼ themselves. They selflessly gave themselves to us so that we could learn and become better doctors in the future. They are the best learning tool that we have. There is no substitute for seeing human anatomy first hand. Because of this fact, these people not only gave a great gift to us medical students, but also to the whole health care system. I can't imagine what my anatomy class would be like if we didn't have these people who wanted to help us.

I appreciate greatly what these individuals have done for us. And if I had one wish it would be to talk to these individuals and find out what made them who they were: what types of jobs they had, what they enjoyed about life, just what their life was like, but most of all I would like to tell them thank you.
