M&M (Museums and Medicine): The National Museum of Civil War Medicine with Kyle Dalton

Welcome to the first of a series of episodes taking a deep dive into some of the most interesting medical museums in the world, starting here in the U.S. with our friends of the show at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.   Kyle Dalton will join us from their ranks to take us behind the scenes of the museum itself, and to discuss varied topics in medical history as they relate to the U.S. Civil War. 

Our conversation included everything from amputations to Civil War era CPR as well as when to remove a bullet, how strange items end up in the museum, and what the postmaster of yesteryear had to do with sex, in a tasteful manner, of course.  No, really. 

There's much more in this interview.  Check it out!
