In this episode, we dive into the history of human dissection, kinda EW I know but bare with us!  From the meticulous practices of ancient Egyptian mummification to the controversial role of dissection in medieval Italy, we uncover how these traditions shaped our understanding of anatomy and how women were involved in this process as well. Join us as we delve into the evolution of medical education, from secretive domestic autopsies to public dissections in anatomy theaters, highlighting the ethical complexities and societal impacts along the way!
