Live-blogging never lost love, from Blue Angels in the backyard to penguins on the Equator
My Donor
My husband, Chief Resident in Internal Medicine Newton-Wellesley Hospital
I considered at first whether even to publish A Divet and a Button. It turned out to be– by many hundreds–the most-read post on this blog. I have had very touching feedback after writing about the experience of meeting the medical students who worked with my beloved husband’s body. One person told me of having been haunted for years by not knowing concretely what it meant when a family member had donated his body for medical research, and said it brought her some peace to learn more.
One of the students posted “My Donor,” her account of that amazing afternoon.
In her spare time, Stephanie works full-time, and then some, as an attorney. She has published articles and delivered talks in arcane fields like forensic evidentiary issues, jury instructions, and expert scientific witness preparation. She attended law school near the the banks of the Charles River and loves that dirty water; she will always think of Boston as her home.

Getting a chance to meet these students, and reading what one of them wrote, was an incredible, hopeful experience. This is exactly what my husband wanted: for other people to learn every step of the way.

This is absolutely amazing.
