Seems like anatomy is kind of analogous to what I've been reading about taxonomy. Everyone in a given field has to learn what past anatomists and taxonomists have described, but there's like zero funding for anyone to actually do taxonomy now, and I'm reading between the lines of what you said, plus the general state of the world, that there's probably not much funding for anyone to do anatomy, either.
Sigh.
I can imagine how hard it must be emotionally, to do dissections. I was having a hard time just being at the opposite end of a lecture hall from the overhead projector where they were showing us a lumbar section with its muscles and bones. I wonder if it's any easier for students from a culture where they're not as insulated from death as we are in the US.
+1, thanks - for your insight, and for your dedication.
