Dissection Room at a Medical School, Bordeaux, France, 1890
Photographer unknown, Gelatin silver print
The study of anatomy separated laypersons from physicians. The public was excluded from the anatomy hall, which was the inner sanctum of physicians. This photograph comes from a type of formal album produced at the end of the 19th century. Such albums heralded the rise of medical schools and hospitals as places of learning and healing.

It may not seem like it now, in the midst of all this pain, but things will get better. And it may not seem possible, with all this heartache, but you will look back and smile at the memories that are tearing you apart right now. The things you went through, both good and bad, will give you reasons to grow in the future, not only to grow, but to laugh, to smile and to feel love all over again.
