The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland Museum

Bill writes: The third medical museum I went to was the one belonging to the Assocation of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. As with the Hunterian Collection, this too was started with the collection of an individual--Charles King (1888-1965). It has items ranging from 1774 to the 1990s.



I'm still deciding whether these three museums were uplifting or depressing. Uplifting in people's attempts to alleviate suffering, and depressing that there was is so much suffering. Somebody pass the ether, please.
