Bonnie Thompson: Prolific Producer

This week I talk with Bonnie Thompson about Anatomy and Physiology. Bonnie is the founder of an institute that allows massage therapists and others to study the human anatomy through the use of cadavers. We talk about many aspects of her work, including why she started this project in the first place? Why she chose to work with cadavers? What they add over a textbook? We learn some cool things about the abdominal region and we talk about a failure of hers with a massage client. Lastly we learn what is next for her institute.
