One thing I learned at the history of medicine museum is how much our medical practices have evolved. They had glass bottles in the museum where they put their medicine. Nowadays they put them in plastic bottles and make sure everything is secure and sterile. Also, the fact that back in the day the instruments they were using werent very sterile just made me think about how many infections that must have taken place in peoples bodies. I am very thankful that in this day in age doctors have figured our how to sterilize everything.
Another thing that I found interesting was the 2nd floor. The things like DNA, kidneys, neurons, EKGs, etc were put on display and talked about how they came about and details on what the people discovered. I have learned about all of these things in school so I just found it interesting how they found ways on how to start reading the hearts rhythms, DNA, etc.

ReplyDeleteI’m glad they have made improvements over time! Being able to connect what you just learned to previous knowledge is very beneficial.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy to think back then they didn't even know about germs and bacteria. It wasn't even a concern for them and now people are very conscious and focused on cleanliness. Imagine a doctor putting their hands inside your bodies during a surgery without gloves or clean hands!
