Quirky Civil War Medicine Stories to make you chuckle!

In this podcast, we are joined by historian Dr. Nicolas Hoffmann who recounts a slew of quirky Civil War medicine stories that will have you rolling in laughter. Let’s go! Over the last few months of this podcast, we’ve had the opportunity to learn about tiny pill-sized endoscopes that can be swallowed and controlled on their path through the digestive tract by the healthcare provider. We’ve heard about the prospects for a universal flu vaccine whose chemistry would be consistent from one year to the next whose efficacy could be better than 90%. A smaller, less expensive tool for targeted genetic sequencing. And many other amazing innovations. In other words, things are happening really fast. But today, our thought is a little bit different. We’re going to try to juxtapose history with what is currently happening in an effort to demonstrate exactly what those changes are and how fast those changes are going to be.
