Looking for a fun, all-weather activity for the whole family? The Museum of Health Care’s new indoor wheelchair-accessible tour offers an intriguing account of the shocking, odd, and amazing history of medicine and health care in Canada. From amputations and autopsies to smallpox and syphilis, you’re sure to be astounded. Learn about a time when a bottle of whisky was the only anesthetic available, and people with tuberculosis were thought to be vampires. Don’t believe it? Come see it for yourself. This exhibit tour provides a unique in depth look at disease and pathology, medical treatment and discovery, and the role of volunteers: three very different but monumentally significant aspects of health and heath care. The activity begins at the Museum of Health Care in the Ann Baillie Building at 32 George Street. Tickets are $5 per person (Children 14 and under free). Please make reservations by email at tour@kgh.kari.net or call us at 613 548-2419 and visit www.museumofhealthcare.ca.
