Political pollsters would have declared the 2008 Cadaver Ball a winner long before election results were in. With the theme "Doctor the Vote," last weekend's event at the Opryland Hotel featured original videos and live music and dance numbers by medical students, while Dean Steven Gabbe, M.D., portrayed Al Gore as the peace(prize)maker uniting the Democratic candidates.
