Impact of Grossing on Everyday Life as Residents in Medical Settings

This study explores how the process of grossing impacts the daily lives of residents in medical settings, focusing on the dissection and examination of food specimens received from Second Cup. A baked good resembling a breast with cherry filling was dissected without weighing or inking, providing insight into the residents' experience. The almond-flavored specimen was chewy, soft, and pink, offering a unique look at how gross descriptions are utilized in medical practice.
