The “Medical Bag” tour of 19th century physicians is a salute to those who lived in a time when there were so many medical challenges, and the causes of diseases were not known. We will also explore childhood diseases and death, and the cholera epidemic of 1850. The tour is conducted in Memory of Dr. Irma West, a brilliant, prolific and historically oriented Physician, who initiated and conducted this tour for years.
