This program focuses on the practices of medicine in the 18th century when the treatment was oftentimes worse than the illness or injury.

Examine and compare the contents of a practicing physician’s bag with that of the modern-day doctor, participate in a mock amputation and dental extraction, review the theories, treatments, medicines, nursing methodologies, and scientific studies of the times.
