New Paltz, New York, USA. The tools of medicine in the 1760s, on display at the Jean Hasbrouck House. It could be said that medicine sucked back then. Enjoy!

Beautiful capture, Thad. It could be said that in some ways, medicine sucks today too! lol I think they actually use leeches today to debride burned skin and cupping is still used with great health benefits, but not by physicians. Good luck!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
That's a 'bleeding' nightmare kit !!
S'pose they did the job good in them days!..

Great shot and contest entry , Thad.
I am still backing away from the screen it's those leeches. Good Luck in the contest!

Excellent entry Thad - love the shadows by the chair and of course the leeches!

You are too funny Thad. A good shot of pre-Doctor Welby medicine.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I think I would bypass all doctors and go find a magical elixer!

Ooo the very thought of leeches makes me cringe !
This is a very nicely arranged selection of medical tools Thad and will be a great contender in the contest. Best of luck to you.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Very nice composition and photo. Good lighting as well. Good luck in the contest, my friend. -Tanju

Nice shot. Believe it or not, leeches are still used in medicine.
When say, surgeons reattach a severed finger, they need a way of removing the old blood before circulation can restart. The leeches they attach to the finger are raised as cleanly as possible, but the ick factor is still high. Sometimes the old ways live on, right under our noses.

What luck. I've been searching for a new family physician and this fellow has the latest in medical technology at hand. Good work with this capture, Thad. Nice clarity and details in the photo.
