''I use the model primarily for patient education and there is rarely a day that goes by that I don't use 'Old Slim' for explaining costochondritis, TMJ syndrome, joint function, or some other anatomical process. My patients enjoy seeing the three-dimensional image and can appreciate my explanations much better than with a chart or diagram. My son is starting medical school in the fall and you can be assured he will have one of your models by the first day of Anatomy.''--James J. Booker III, M.D., Wytheville, Virginia, reviewing the 35'' model*
