Anybody who finds this stuff interesting should also check out the Hunterian Collection ( http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums/history/collections.html http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums/history/collections.html ) at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. In addition to the famous collection of anatomical preparations and specimens, the RCS museum features a fabulous collection of historic surgical instruments and artifacts, including a cringe-inducing lithotomy exhibit. Three cheers for for antisepsis, antibiotics, and anesthetic!
