[Oradlist] International Museum of Surgical Science

[Dania Tamimi]

Hello,

  I tore this out of a travel magazine on one of the MANY international 
flights I had to take this year. I've been trying to hold off posting it on 
oradlist until next year when we're actually going to be in Chicago, but I'm 
afraid that I'll lose it as I move (yet again - sigh). It's a museum in 
Chicago dedicated to the history and development of surgery and related 
subjects. One of these subjects is, of course, radiology. I'm going to quote 
the magazine:

"The medical imaging exhibit contrasts the benefits brought by inventor's 
Wilhelm Roentgen's X-rays with the scandals and suspicions that surrounded 
the technology. In the "Electrical Review" of 17 April 1896, one humorist 
wrote:

I'm full of daze, shock
and amaze
For nowadays, I hear
they'll gaze
Thro' cloak and gown -
and even stays
Those naughty, naughty
Roentgen rays.

The International Museum of Surgical Science is on Lakeshore Dr. in Chicago 
(www.imss.org). try to check it out if you're going to RSNA and you have an 
hour to spare.

Enjoy,

Dania
