- **Event Name**: Myths and Miracels of Victorian Medicine. Historical Portrayals by Lady J- Janet Parnes
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: If a surgeon dropped his scalpel on the floor, he picked up the instrument and continued to use it; on the other hand, that same surgeon had access to x-ray equipment. Such is the
paradoxical nature of late-Victorian medicine.
Prepare to gasp, cringe, and chuckle, as you discover the horrifying practices and milestone discoveries that characterize turn–of-the-century medicine! Proper Victorian lady Miss Myrtle Mills will reveal its primitive nature as well as life-saving advancements.
Learn about topics that include disease prevention; homemade medicines and patented “remedies”; pregnancy protocols; and scientific discoveries such as aspirin and the x-ray. As March is Women’s History Month, it is significant that the portrayal will also include information on Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. Dr. Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from an American medical college. 
Join us for this exploration of practices that defy today’s medical sense and discoveries that helped form the roots of 21 st -century medicine.
Free and open to the public.
See you there!
