Incredibly informative museum. Wife and I visited while staying in Chicago in late June. The museum is worth the price of admission. Four stories of historical perspective and information, telling the long, twisty tale of the evolution of modern medicine science in our global society. As a person who was born with a uterus and has also endured a hysterectomy in recent years, I am grateful for how much medicine has improved in the last 100-200 years. Having said this, I am equally frustrated at how LITTLE medicine has changed with regard to how people assigned female at birth have been cared for. Regardless, this museum is a MUST visit for anyone interested in science and medicine or even just anyone who wants to gain some perspective on how we care for each other as humans. I was particularly struck with how early scientists and doctors who endeavored to use data and evidence were treated when they stepped outside of standard practice for their time. Of note were the doctors who advocated for CHANGE, only to be rebuked by their colleagues as being “mentally ill”, “incompetent”, or just unpopular because they wanted to try something new! An example being how an emphasis on cleanliness and good ventilation, e.g., hand-washing before surgeries and opening windows for the prevention of the 1918 influenza virus. At the time, the doctors who advocated for these stark changes to standard treatment were ostracized and ridiculed by their peers, only to their ideas confirmed and implemented years later after many of them had died and suffered for their advocacy. I cannot help but think about how N95 mask wearing and clean air ventilation improvements would help mitigate the spread of the common cold and Covid-19 variants but mainstream medicine continues to rebuke these solutions. History does in fact repeat itself. I can only hope that in 200-500 years, this museum will update include our current times and how “history” was made…
