Abstract
A recent student article relates disrespectful and traumatizing events in a modern dissection room. This comment serves to remind anatomical educators' of their duties toward the medical students. It is the anatomical educators' duty to help students not only to become familiar with the structure of the human body but also with the emotional repertoire available when dealing with the living and the dead. And it is the educators' duty to accompany students through the dissection course experience in a manner that keeps them safe from emotional harm.Entities:
