There's a big difference between a frog and a human when you're talking about ethics. At the beginning of the class our professors stressed what an amazing gift the donors gave us by allowing us to study their bodies. I think one of the main fears was that a student might do something stupid and post a picture of themselves in the lab to Facebook or Twitter with some part of a cadaver's face going unnoticed in the background. No family needs to see their loved one after embalming and two months of dissection.
And while it would have been nice to take pictures to study from home, the atlases do a better job of displaying that information clearly. A picture of your cadaver's open chest wouldn't be of much use. It would require thousands upon thousands of photographs to be useful, so there's no sense doing that yourself if you can just [buy a book](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1604067454/sr=8-1/qid=1398407148/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1398407148&seller=&sr=8-1 "my personal favorite") with the work already done.
The quality of the images in Gray's for students is second to none. That said, you should just get the atlas that those images are taken from http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Anatomy-Anne-M-Gilroy/dp/1604067454/
Having done a lot of anatomy, I would say that if you need a textbook, get Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy and also get the Thieme atlas. The text in Moore's is better than Gray's, and the Thieme atlas is unmatched, even by Netter.
Much appreciated!
I actually plan to study medicine myself, and I've seen the flashcard flow chart. From your post, I take it you recommend beginning with zanki, and thus relying on Pathoma and Sketchy?
It'll be a few years until I'll start studying, but I've been thinking about—as a primer—doing Incremental Reading on these first.
Dunno what you think about that?
