How much does Greys Anatomy and Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes love the British sci-fi show Doctor Who? I feel the two highlights of my past five years are I got to meet (former Who executive producer) Russell Davies and I got to meet the star of (Who spin-off show) Torchwood, John Barrowman, who was in one of our pilots, reveals the prolific TV showrunner. Indeed, an episode from the most recent season of Greys Anatomy featured a Who fan who lost his ear at a fan convention while rushing to get a model TARDIS signed by Davies.

Rhimes talked about her love for the show in last weeks Entertainment Weekly Doctor Who cover story (see above). But she had much, much more to say about the 49-year-old TV institution whose new season debuts on BBC America later this summer as you can read below.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, are all the writers on Greys Anatomy fans of Doctor Who?SHONDA RHIMES: Were psychotic Doctor Who fans. Im always talking about Doctor Who over there. Even the people who dont watch Doctor Who at Greys know about Doctor Who because its all we talk about in the writers room. When we were doing that episode, it was supposed to be the all-male show, and we were talking about the things that we could never do in an episode that was geared towards the women and one was a comic convention. Then we were like, Well, if were going to do Comic Con, whats really interesting to us? And for me it was Doctor Who. We loved the idea of people fighting over a TARDIS signed by Russell Davies. We wrote it as real fans, which was great.

How did viewers react to that show? It was interesting. There were some viewers who loved it. Some of our guy viewers were like, This is great, this is exciting. And then there were some of our girl viewers who had just never seen Doctor Who and were like, I dont get it. And I would just say, Well, you have to watch it. Because its got all the good stuff in it.

When did you start watching Doctor Who? Id never seen the original, old-timey Doctor Who. Id heard about it but Id never seen it. I probably picked it up around season 2 [after its 2005 relaunch] and then went back and watched season 1 and really loved it and have been an avid fan ever since. I own all the DVDs and I own the books that Russell wrote about it. I got up in arms about Matt Smith [replacing David Tennant] and then fell in love with Matt Smith, just like everybody else.

So many TV shows have referenced Doctor Who recently. Is it a show which is generally beloved by TV writers.I think it is. I mean if you have any feelings for sci-fi, you know the show and you love it. Im not even a giant sci-fi watcher. I liked Buffy and I liked Angel and I liked Battlestar butI hate to say this because Ill probably get some lettersIve never seen episode of Star Trek. But if you are at all interested in television thats taking chances then, yeah, I think you like it.

Its completely different from anything thats on network television here, or even on cable. Im not even sure it can exist on American television in the way it exists on British television. I think there is a freedom of storytelling and a leap of logic that Russell is willing to take and Steven is willing to take that Im not sure network studios here would get on board with. I think thered be a lot of questions. Doctor Who travels through time? It would just get strange for them.

Steven Moffat told me that he felt one of the big differences between the new Doctor Who and the old one is that the new version is more emotional and is thus more female-friendly.I dont know if its more female-friendly but Steven Moffats Doctor Who feels like its told from Amy Ponds point of view, which is a departure from the way Russell did it. I think its interesting and I think it works. Youre sort of rediscovering the Doctor all over again.

You know Karen Gillans leaving the show, right? I know. Im very upset. When I heard she was leaving I tried to hire her. I think shes really, really talented. But apparently shes doing a movie next, so we couldnt get her.

‘Doctor Who’: ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ creator Shonda Rhimes talks about her ‘psychotic’ love for the Time Lord

Beth Cavener Stichter was intrigued by the notion which is the basis of Hippocratic medicine: a person could be emotionally and psychologically evaluated by their level of fluids. According to ancient Greek Humorism, the traditional four temperaments: sanguine, melancholic, choleric, and phlegmatic were caused by imbalances in the four bodily fluids (humors): black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood.

Sanguine – Too much blood – Passionate, Bold, impulsive
Melancholic – Too much black bile – Depressed, anxious, moody
Choleric – Too much yellow bile – Irritable, hostile, bitter
Phlegmatic – Too much phlegm – Passive, introverted, rational

This intrigue led her to create ‘The Four Humors’, a work which was displayed at the Claire Oliver Gallery at Art Miami.

The newest latest episode of The Midnight Archive--Ronni Thomas' fantastic documentary series centered around Brooklyn's Observatory--has just gone live! Entitled "Dealing in the Obscure," it features Morbid Anatomy Library Scholar in Residence, star of TV's "Oddities", and good friend/partner in crime Evan Michelson waxing poetic on the pleasures of time travel through material culture, why some people are drawn to darkness, and her own uncannily beautiful collection.

To watch the episode, simply press play in the viewer above. More on the episode, in the words of director/creator Ronni Thomas:

The Midnight Archive - Ep. 14 - Evan Michelson - It is a pleasure to have Evan Michelson, owner of the NYC epicenter of the odd 'Obscura Antiques' and star of Science Channel's "Oddities"' as a guest on our series. In what is certainly our most abstract and experimental episode, she quite eloquently puts into words why some of us are so drawn to certain objects, the dark, and the disturbing. Her house is, as she puts it, a literal library of the strange and esoteric. Each artifact houses a special story and emotion for its possessor. So enjoy a very psychedelic and surreal episode of the series and please make sure to like our facebook page for random tidbits of macabre history and events around the world! And be sure if in NYC or visiting to check our Obscura Antiques in the East Village - you will not be disappointed!

Emily Evans of AnatomyUK gives us an exclusive look at the Day of the Dead Skull wallpaper she recently designed.  This unique wallpaper was developed specially for Barrio Central and Barrio North, two wonderfully colorful Latin bars located in Soho and Islington in London.

Emily extensively researched the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition and sugar skull representations before designing the perfect skull for the wallpaper pattern.

This high quality wallpaper is meticulously screen printed by hand using metallic gold ink on peacock, charcoal, and raspberry. The gold ink makes the pattern shine brilliantly under a variety of lighting.  This wallpaper is stunning in person, so if you’re in the London area, stop by Barrio Central or Barrio North (in the toilets) and see it!

Designed by Emily Evans. Made in London, UK.

Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has revealed that Eric Dane's McSteamy a.k.a. plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sloan is checking out of the show.

Leaving

"We're a big family here at Grey's with a long history together and Eric will always remain part of our family," she said in a statement. "I wish him the best and I look forward to watching him as he continues to steam up the big and small screen."

Indeed, it was Eric's decision to leave the show after six years to pursue other opportunities.

How will McSteamy exit the show after making such a memorable entrance (um, he came out of the shower with just a strategically placed towel!)? Shonda did not spill the beans on the details but an insider dished that Eric will return for several episodes of the upcoming Season Nine to get a proper send-off.

For those keeping count, Eric is the latest to leave the show in the wake of the Season Eight cliffhanger finale. Chyler Leigh, who plays Dr. Lexie Grey and Kim Raver, who portrays Dr. Teddy Altman, will also not be returning to the show. The rest of the cast however are coming back for two more years.

Eric Dane's McSteamy To Exit Grey's Anatomy

Greys Anatomy star Eric Dane is hanging up his scrubs.

After six years aboard the hit ABC medical drama, CNN's confirmed that the actor will not be back for the shows ninth season will be leaving the show.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes told TVLine in a statement, [We] did not come to this decision lightly, but after much consideration and conversations, he and I have decided that this is the right time for his storyline to end."

Dane, who played Dr. Mark Sloan, thanked Rhimes and the cast of "Grey's" for the memories in a statement of his own. "I am extremely grateful to everyone at 'Grey's,' ABC and Shondaland for the experience," Dane told TVLine. "It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes."

Danes leaving is just the latest high-profile departure from "Grey's": The actor's fellow cast members Kim Raver and Chyler Leigh also exited the series after its eighth season finale in May.

"Grey's Anatomy" returns on September 27.

The doctors who will graduate from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest will have an edge over their peers when it comes to understanding anatomy as it relates to their patients.

Because of a partnership between the radiology department at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital and the medical school, all donor-cadaver-patients are completely imaged before they are transferred to the anatomy lab.

This allows students a complete picture X-rays, MRIs, CT scans of the patients they are dissecting in class.

We teach anatomy in the most progressive way that a medical student could receive, said Brion Benninger, M.D., vice chair of the anatomy department for Western University of Health Sciences, COMP-Northwest.

Not every medical school has an anatomy lab, and those that do often use generic images, not ones directly from the donors being worked on, Benninger said.

This method of teaching anatomy is important because a family physician cannot dissect a patient to discover the illness, he said.

Instead, they use images.

Imagine if youre a student; youre assigned to table three, dissecting that particular body, Benninger explained. When you hit the chest, you say, Wow, look at that heart, its much bigger than I anticipated. These vessels dont look the way theyre supposed to classically be in the book.

Students may look at the imaging from that body and see firsthand what that heart looked like on an X-ray or other image.

That sort of imagery, you never forget it. Never, Benninger said.

072612_mark_sloan_featuredDr. Sloan will make his final rounds this fall! Are you devastated?

Greys Anatomy is seriously losing steam well, McSteamy, to be exact. HollywoodLife.coms sister site TV Line is reporting that Eric Dane is checking out of the hit ABC medical drama after more than six clothing-optional seasons. But there is some good news: Dr. Mark Sloan will return to Seattle Grace at the beginning of season nine to wrap up his story line.

I am extremely grateful to everyone at Greys, ABC and Shondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run, Eric tells the site. It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes.

Shonda also spoke to the site, clarifying that Erics exit was a decision they came to together.

Personally, I cant say Im too surprised to see him leave. When Lexie (Chyler Leigh) died on the eighth season finale, Sloan was devastated not to mention he was suddenly without a love interest. (And whats the use of Sloan if he isnt plowing someone in the break room?)

But rather than focus on the sad news of Sloans departure, lets remember the good times and by that, I mean the doctors first appearance during the second season finale. (That towel should have been credited as a special guest star. For real.)

Are you devastated by this news, Greys fans? Or do you agree with me that its the right for Sloan to complete his rounds? Drop me a comment with your reaction to this life-changing news.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Shocker: Eric Dane Announces His Departure

Grey's Anatomy fans will have to say goodbye to McSteamy! The infamous Mark Sloan, played by actor Eric Dane, is reportedly leaving the hit ABC series, much to the dismay of female fans everywhere.

We last saw Sloan in a hospital bed close to death at the end of season 8 and, although creator Shonda Rhimes hints that this isn't the last we are going to see of the dreamy doc, a statement from Dane himself proves otherwise.

"I am extremely grateful to everyone at Grey's , ABC and Shondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run. It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes," Dane says in a statement to TV Line.

At the end of season 8, Dane's character was clinging to life after a horrible plane crash that killed his love, Lexie (Chyler Leigh). E! Online spoke with Rhimes after the finale, who said, "They're still out there in the forest, and we don't know if they are going to be OK," she teased. "We left it open for a reason becauseI hate to say this, but just because you saw people alive at the end of the finale doesn't mean they're going to be alive when the season starts up. We are completely jumping off into the unknown next season."

Rhimes also claims that Dane's decision to leave the show was a tough one. As "one of the most beloved characters on the show," Dane had many conversations with Rhimes before they finally decided that it was time for McSteamy's story line to end.

The ninth season of Grey's Anatomy begins Sept. 27 on ABC. We can only imagine what will happen this season!

Eric Dane Announces Exit From 'Grey's Anatomy'

I am very excited to read the new and wonderful looking book Dissection on Display: Cadavers, Anatomists and Public Spectacle by Christine Quigley, who many of you might best know as editor of the wide-ranging blog Quigley's Cabinet. I have not yet had a chance to read the book, but we are all in luck, as friend of Morbid Anatomy Bess Lovejoy--author of the forthcoming Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses--has kindly offered up a very detailed and thoughful review of the book special for the Morbid Anatomy blog.

Lovejoy's review follows; you can also find out more about the book--or purchase a copy of your very own--by clicking here.

Dissection on Display: Cadavers, Anatomists and Public Spectacle
By Christine Quigley
Mcfarland, February 24, 2012

Most of us have never seen a dead body, let alone witnessed the dissection of a cadaver. But for centuries in Europe, Britain, and America, public dissections were highly social occasions. In the candlelit, damask-draped anatomy theatre of 18th century Bologna, townspeople jostled medical students and high-ranking officials during a two-week-long dissection that took place as part of the annual carnival. In 16th century Britain, hundreds crowded around to watch the dissections of executed criminals. And in early 19th century America, the most fashionable strata of society (men and women alike) attended public dissections for a chance to “see and be seen.”

In her new book, Dissection on Display: Cadavers, Anatomists and Public Spectacle, scholar, author, and blogger Christine Quigley traces the hidden history of anatomists who perform for the public. Not all of the men she profiles are known just for their dissections: some, like 17th and 18th century Europeans Frederik Ruysch and Honoré Fragonard, did the dirty work in private, then displayed the exquisitely-crafted results to the public in the form of art and illustration. Many of the names Quigley profiles will be familiar to Morbid Anatomy readers, though others -- like Thomas “Mummy” Pettigrew, the 19th century London antiquarian who unrolled mummies to entertain his guests – may be fresh discoveries.

Using a series of thematically-grouped vignettes, Quigley explores anatomists as demonstrators, educators, collectors, showmen, and more. Some of the book’s most intriguing passages deal with the lessons that public dissections were supposed to impart: not just about the workings of the body, but the workings of God, and of justice. Even more than a chance to gain medical wisdom, public dissections were often promoted as an opportunity to witness the glory of God in the functioning of a corpse’s entrails. Sometimes they were also seen as a chance to exult in the final stage of  punishment meted out to a criminal. The mutilation of the corpse was thought to deny the deceased a chance at Resurrection -- thus condemning him or her both in life and afterlife.

Quigley also touches on the racial and sexual undertones that have long troubled the study of anatomy. One of the book’s most disturbing sections profiles French naturalist and zoologist Georges Cuvier and his quest to uncover (literally) the mysteries that lay between the legs of Saartjie Bjartmaan, also known as the “Hottentot Venus.” Bjartmaan – a young Khoisan woman from South Africa -- entertained audiences in early 19th century London and Paris with the enormous size of her buttocks. Some whispered that Bjartmaan was also blessed with a similarly enormous labia minora, and like other scientists of the time, Cuvier was fascinated by such rumors. After Bjartmaan’s death, he detailed her dissection in a medical journal and preserved both her brain and genitals in greenish glass bottles outside his office. Thus the last shred of modesty that Bjartmaan had protected in life was unceremoniously stripped from her in death, in a way that calls to mind the brutally frank autopsy reports of modern dead celebrities.

Today, human dissection is usually hidden from the public. This cloaking began in the 19th century, when, as Quigley writes, “The anatomists withdrew behind the doors of educational institutions, and the townspeople were not invited to join them.” These days dissections occur exclusively in a medical or forensic context, and the only corpses we see are on television. No longer is the public treated to theatrical displays of their own inner-workings, as they were in the days when Andreas Vesalius kept Renaissance audiences glued to their seats.

But there have been exceptions. In 2002, the controversial Gunter von Hagens – he of the plastinated corpses and Body Worlds exhibits – staged a ticketed dissection of the body of a 72-year-old man in London. The event drew considerable attention, and Hagens faced the threat of arrest even while wielding the scalpel. Yet the room was packed, proving that our appetites for dissection haven’t waned. Quigley includes an excellent photograph of the event, notable not for the pale cadaver about to be sliced apart, but for the front row of the audience, their faces horrified, bemused, and fascinated in turn. One woman crosses her hands over her chest in protection, clutching her check and beginning to grimace. Next to her, an older gentleman folds his wrists behind his elbows and leans back as if to say “show me what you got.” Von Hagens himself is at the forefront of the image, clad in a black fedora -- his nod to Rembrandt’s “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp,” which hangs on the wall above him.

In fact, Quigley takes pains to show us how conscious Von Hagens – the most famous modern anatomist -- is of his historical lineage. (Many of his most famous pieces, such as his flayed horse and rider, quote directly from the work of earlier anatomists such as Fragonard.) This is where the book shines: Quigley has stitched together a family tree of public anatomists who contributed to our understanding of the body, but whose work often remains hidden like the organs beneath our skin. Dissection on Display is recommended reading for anyone with a healthy sense of curiosity, morbid or otherwise, about what used to happen when we were allowed to watch.

According to Quigley, the dissection was performed in Leiden’s anatomical theatre, and included an audience of townspeople that were left out of the painting. Instead, Rembrandt was paid to include surgeons who may or may not have actually been there.

At the Coney Island Museum in Brooklyn, the Phantom Creep Theater pays tribute to classic horror with its version of the spook show, a macabre entertainment popular in the early 20th century that weds Grand Guignol tradition with modern sideshow showmanship. Hosted by M.C.’s in the vein of late-night television horror hosts like Ghoulardi and Dr. Creep, the shows feature B movies, live music, old-hat magic and a total blackout in which a monster or phantom tears through the theater.
--"No Rest for the Wicked, Undead or Ghoulish," New York Times. July 12, 2012

Tonight, at the Coney Island Museum, I hope to see you for "Phantom Creep Theatre: Lon Chaney Shall Not Die!",  an ode to the 1950s spook show organized in part by friend and Midnight Archive creator Ronni Thomas. The night's series of performances, screenings and hijinx will be dedicated to the memory and work of Lon Chaney Sr., patron saint of classic horror, and will feature a live theatrical recreation of the lost 1929 film "Thunder,"which included "insidious carnies, murderous dwarves, [and] ravenous gorillas on the loose" and reputedly killed "the man of a 1,000 faces." In fine spook show tradition, there will also be an attempt to make contact with the ghost of Mr. Chaney, a chance to meet the "Hypno Corpse," varied film screenings, live music, and many thrills and screams, all for only 10 dollars.

Full details follow; hope very much to see you there!
