Abstract
In this narrative medicine essay, a medical student is reminded of Communion service at her New England Protestant church when she sees the beauty of the human anatomy in a cadaver, a former teacher who offered her body as the ultimate teaching moment, in an echo of Jesus’ words at the Last Supper: “This is my body, broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
