Nurse, Hand Me That Hacksaw



Where can you find WWI military health posters, chunks of John Wilkes Booth and James Garfield, the bullet that killed Lincoln, photos and drawings of the effects of battlefield surgery, dentistry equipment from the 1700's, and stories about a Civil War general who made annual visits to the amputated leg he donated?

The National Museum of Health and Medicine, of course. Bring the kids!

Sounds like a fascinating albeit slightly morbid romp through history.
