Places in the book

A few of settings that took place in Skloot's book were John Hopkins Hospital, Crownsville Hospital, and the laboratory. The two hospitals mentioned were the destinations in which Henrietta went to in order to find out what was wrong with her. After the fact her cells were taken to Gey's laboratory and examined until finally scientists discovered that  her cells were vital for developing things the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects.
