Biographie de Janis Ann Parks
Janis Ann Parks, RN, worked in various clinical environments from intensive care to drug and alcohol recovery and she maintains a keen concern for medical ethics and patient outcomes. She's been a long time resident of Augusta, Georgia, a city well known for its annual Master's Golf Tournament, but also home to the Medical College of Georgia, an institution dedicated to educating physicians since 1828.
Her heightened interest in medical history began when she read an account of the grave-robbing slave, Grandison Harris, whose job it was to provide cadavers for anatomy classes. Special collections in the Greenblatt Library at the Medical College provided the opportunity to research information about medical practice in the Antebellum South.
