  1. Hello, I am trying to purchase or view the series the anatomist for a research paper at school. I am unable to access it online. I live in the US. I am looking at the history of autopsy particularly the renissance era. Any advise I appreciate. Thank you

  2. for some reason or other I have always found it fascinating to endulge in viewing this type of subject, perhaps I have a morbid curiousity about the subject,or I just find that the human body is fascinating in it's design and would like to know how it all works.I am therefore drawn to this German pathologist Gunther whatever and quietly watch his programmes on disecting human bodie parts for our enteertainment. I have to say though at one time I would NEVER have been so brave. J.H.

  3. I actually participated to "the anatomist" shooting in Rome, in September 2001 (it was 9/11!!!), as a scholar in History of medicine. I never managed to see the documentary. The director and co. never bothered to send a copy... Is it possible to have a copy of it? If necessary I can pay for it! I would be grateful if you can let me know as soon as possible. Regards, andrea carlino
