History of Medicine Museum

When visiting the medicine museum, I could not believe there was a set of remains of a child from the first to second century with a hole in his head. It is incredible how in that time period a surgeon was able to preform surgery on this boy. Also, it is impressive that the boy was able to survive the surgery for a couple of weeks. This shows how advance the skill levels of the surgeons were at the time period.

  4. I was also impressed by there knowledge of the human body and surgical performance. Swing remains from that long ago was really creepy though.
