M&M (Museums and Medicine): The Old Operating Theatre Museum in London England with Monica Walker, PhD

Poor Historians: Misadventures in Medical History

While we've discussed numerous famous Victorian era surgeons, we haven't taken this deep of a dive into their facilities. This week we bring you a conversation with Monica Walker, PhD, all the way from London, England.
This episode runs a bit longer than the others but that's just where the interview took us. So many neat tidbits. We'll talk about some of the common surgical procedures performed in the Old Op Theatre, some of the famous surgeons who practiced there, and Dr. Walker will give a fascinating account of what surgery in that space looked like. There's even a story about a surgeon who liked to bring body parts home with him when he went on vacation--as you do. We think you'll really enjoy this interview.
Please note that the museum itself is under renovation at the moment and will re-open on April 1st, 2023 for all of our fans to visit if they should so choose.
