Victorian Medicine at Bellevue House
Curator Rowena McGowan from the Museum of Health Care joins Bellevue House for a one-day only event on Victorian medicine in the time of John A Macdonald. She will give a short presentation at noon on the medical innovations and beliefs that John A Macdonald would have experienced during his lifetime, including dramatic changes in disease theory, surgery, and opioid use. From 11:00 – 14:00, there will be a small pop-up exhibit with medical artifacts which can be explored and in some cases handled by visitors.
