Today was my first day as an intern at The Cushing/Whitney Library. I was so nervous and also very anxious to see what awaited me in the building. first i met with Mr.Greenberg who is the coordinator of curriculum and research support. He introduced me to all of his staff and told me about their specific tasks. then he gave me the tour of medical library, in which i got to see a lot of fascinating things. i got to see alot of books which were more then 100 years old. and i was very surprised that they were still in good condition in the care of the library staff. then we went to Cushing center and at first i wasn't expecting to see what i saw. basically Cushing center was full of Human brains preserved in jars. and it was kind of scary to me. because i never got to see these kind of things before. and the thing which really overwhelmed me was the pictures of random people who were suffering from such traumas and the thought that their brains was in jars lined up on scale was really scaring. my first day at medical library was really good.
