I have been a CW reenactor. Portraying a Union Surgeon for approx. 20 years. This is part of my Medical display. It is a mix of original instruments and other items.
Thank you.Nice display. Welcome from WNY.

Yes I was at the 150th Gettysburg doing demos. A elderly lady said she had just retired from the surgical theater after 44 yrs. She told me they still use hand bone saws. I asked why. She said the new buzz saws jam sometimes about half way into a femure. They finish with a hand saw so as to not fracture or chip the bone. I had no idea that they were still using them. That is one of the reasons why I love CW medical. Again along the line you mention.Welcome to CWT from the Smoky Mountain side of North Carolina. Just jump right in and enjoy.
As a retired EMT I find that it is amazing how much medical equipment has really not changed since the Civil War. Thanks for sharing these awesome photos.
She and she is very knowable on CW medicine as one of her kinfolks was a CS doc.He is welcome to pipe in.
