Elizabeth Blackwell (3 February 1821 – 31 May 1910) was the first female doctor in the United States and the first on the UK Medical Register. She was the first openly identified woman to graduate from medical school, a pioneer in educating women in medicine in the United States, and was prominent in the emerging women’s rights movement. She attended Geneva Medical College in New York. She was accepted there because the faculty put it to a student vote with the stipulation that if one student objected Blackwell would be denied. The students thought her application was a hoax – and wrote to the faculty saying that they would welcome the new applicant and promised her gentlemanly treatment. When Blackwell started showing up to the classes, the all-male student body lived up to their promise to the letter. Blackwell is said to have stated that if the instructor were upset by the fact that Student No. 156 wore a bonnet, she would be pleased to remove her conspicuous headgear and take a seat at the rear of the classroom, but that she would not voluntarily absent herself from a lecture. On 11 January 1849, Blackwell became the first woman to achieve a medical degree in the United States, and graduated, on 23 January 1849.[1]

The Edwin Smith Papyrus is an Ancient Egyptian medical text on surgical trauma. It dates to Dynasties 16-17 of the Second Intermediate Period in Ancient Egypt, ca. 1600 BCE. The Edwin Smith papyrus is unique among the medical papyri that survive today. While other papyri, such as the Ebers Papyrus and London Medical Papyrus, are medical texts based in magic, the Edwin Smith Papyrus presents a rational and scientific approach to medicine in Ancient Egypt.

The Edwin Smith papyrus is 4.68 m in length, divided into 17 pages. The recto, the front side, is 377 lines long, while the verso, the backside, is 92 lines long. Aside from the fragmentary first sheet of the papyrus, the remainder of the papyrus is fairly intact.

It is written in hieratic, the Egyptian cursive form of hieroglyphs, in black and red ink. The vast majority of the papyrus is concerned with trauma and surgery. On the recto side, there are 48 cases of injury. Each case details the type of the injury, examination of the patient, diagnosis and prognosis, and treatment.The verso side consists of eight magic spells and five prescriptions. The spells of the verso side and two incidents in Case 8 and Case 9 are the exceptions to the practical nature of this medical text.

Category: MicroscopeEstimated Date: 1750Name: Culpepper MicroscopeManufacturer: Lincoln Description: Brass, original lacquer finish, l4.25 inches high, objective cover, eyepiece protector, 3 extra objective, drawer in base, original case, slide holder for base, original ivory mounted slides, signed Lincoln in base. The invention of the microscope was one of the earliest truly revolutionary discoveries in medicine and the world in general. Microscopes progressed from simple lenses to more complex forms. Typical of the craftsmanship of the pre 20th century era, a great amount of esthetic charm was incorporated into all of the designs. The Culpepper microscope is an elegant device. It has considerable magnification capability and an attractive design. This was replaced during the 19th century with more practical devices and the invention of the binocular microscope.
