By popular demand, we are thrilled to welcome Connor MacArthur back for a repeat presentation!
Our first presentation was fully booked by our mug club members, so we are doing things a little differently this time around to ensure everyone who didn't get to attend has the opportunity this time around. This will be a ticketed event, with a nominal fee of $5 per person. Event is free to Mug Club members, who may message us to make reservations. Tickets are non-refundable unless presentation is cancelled for any reason.
Step into the grim and fascinating world of medieval medicine in "Blood and Bone: The Macabre World of Medieval Medicine." This lecture will take you through the brutal realities of surgery, amputation, and autopsy before the age of anesthesia and antiseptics. Witness the very tools that shaped life and death—scalpels, surgical saws, trepanning instruments, bloodletting tools, and even a device designed to extract arrowheads from human flesh. Are you ready to face the bleeding edge of history?
