Medicine


Rowan and I went to the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds http://www.thackraymuseum.org/ which she wanted to show me [she had been with school]. It was very good, a bit gory, but a lot to learn. Last night in book group we had been discussing The Medical Detectives which was a very bad telling of the John Snow / Cholera / Broad Street Pump story. A story that the Thackray managed to tell very well in about 2 minutes on an a/v presentation.
