Gosh – I’m really flattered, thank you! Actually, there’s something about that part of London – so many interesting features.

I read your review before I visited and it inspired me to go 🙂 It’s such an amazing place isn’t it!

Your photos are great too – I struggle taking decent photos of displays.

Absolutely terrifying isn’t it – I’m SO glad to have been born today and not back then, absolutely horrific what patients had to endure! Thanks for reading and I’m glad you found the post interesting.

Totally gruesome, I am so very grateful to have been born now rather than back then – it really would have been torture to endure any sort of operation!! xx

So glad to have been born in the modern day. No anaesthetic of any kind during surgery, and the poor guy wasn’t even allowed to marry or have a life, I suspect. Your photos are great, especially the opening one and the operating theatre.

But I have to say that sanitised reenactments are just as gruesome as the operating tools that look like torture implements! Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

Oh I know!!! Interestingly, leeches are still used today as treatment for reconstructive surgery across England!!! I know, I had to laugh, honestly!

I don’t think I could handle leeches or how surgery was done back in the day. I got a good laugh from hearing about the treatment of hysterical ailments too.

It’s an amazing little place. I know, I was shocked – to not even wash, it’s madness in today’s understanding of germs and hygiene. It’s well worth a visit though, and I hope you make it to see it for yourself one day 🙂

Yeah it’s horrific isn’t it, I am incredibly grateful for how far medicine has come. Imagine what it will be like in another 100 years!!
