One of the more fascinating characters was a doctor and his nurse. Joseph LaBolle had some rather interesting medical instruments.
Yes...saws....for a variety of things generally associated with amputations. Need an eye?
Even then, doctors seemed to know that if you made tea with old, dried small pox scabs and drank it, you developed some resistance to small pox.
And...if you need a tape worm for anything, he seemed to have plenty.
This was quite fascinating! After looking at the equipment and chatting about how it was used, I won't complain anytime soon about a colonoscopy.
