Museum of medicine
The way the museum of medicine was presented was extremely interesting and captivating. I had never thought of medicine practices as bordering the line of art. Our tour guide explained how different practices developed into art such as the feet seen in the lower level of the museum. Along with the transformation of medicine practices into art, the separation of religion and medicine throughout the tour was also engaging. She talked of how physicians would find the cause of the disease (Divine, natural, ect.) and then treat it with the same principle, such as divine with divine. In modern day, we use more logic and scientific facts to diagnose and treat. It was great gaining a new perspective on the practice of medicine because I never fully understood the different paths it divided into through the course of history.
