I visited the History of Medicine Museum for gathering information about my SREF project. While at the museum one thing I learned was that the instruments used were tailored to the doctors that used them. This helped them gain the trust and confidence of their patients. During this time it was especially important because infection was very common and there was no anesthesia. The discussion before going to the museum helped immensely and made learning about the topic more interesting because I was in the right mindset.
While at the museum I thought being able to see the types of instruments used was very interesting. I liked how it was broken up into different sections. It was hard to tell what certain tools were used for because all of the labels were in Italian. I liked that they had a variety of different things to look at like how they drilled holes in skulls, the wooden box that carried the tools, and the EEG machine.

The wooden box and all the tools within it was also interesting to me! It was very cool to be able to connect this to my research!
ReplyDeleteIt was cool to see how the tools originally looked a couple of hundred years ago, and then compare them to what we use today. Also I found it interesting how they believed in the four different kind of liquids in the human body.
