Around the Department
Brittani Thornton, Autopsy Technician, with samples of the Pathology Museum Specimen Collection. Known as “The Road Show,” these specimens are used to teach medical students gross pathology. The collection was started in the early years of our Department in the 1930s, initially in buckets with “odiferous” formalin on shelves lining the hallways, as Dr. William Bradford recalls. These were later encased in Plexiglas containers and the collection expanded to include neuropathology rarities.
