Sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Irv Rehman. He was an outstanding anatomist who helped train future orthopedic surgeons at the USC School of Medicine. We co-taught our first year medical students at USC, and I remember very well his devotion to anatomical teaching. He was a very special teacher.
