DCI Consumers traveled to Frederick, MD to tour the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. It was a somber, but interesting, trip to the past. Our Docent Jake was very informative; he explained each exhibit and readily answered all our questions. After viewing what soldiers had to endure in the way of “cures”, it made all of us very happy for our clean, modern, hospitals. The medical professionals from that era did make some great medical advancements that have been useful. Some fun facts: soldiers loved to drink coffee; there were amounts of time when they were not fighting so the time was spent playing cards or mending clothes (can any of you guys sew?). If you have not had chance to visit this fascinating museum, take time this summer to visit!
