Description
This portion of the exhibit, Illuminations: Revisiting the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition of 1901, provides a fascinating glimpse into the general state of health care and medical technology available at the turn of the century. What could attendees at the Exposition expect in terms of hygiene and health care? Were restroom facilities provided, and were they kept clean? Were doctors and medical equipment available on the grounds? Who drove the ambulance that carried the wounded President McKinley?
These pages contain some interesting and less well-known facts about maladies that befell Pan-Am goers, what attendees could expect in terms of health-care and hygiene, the medical equipment available at the time, the caregivers who tended to visitors, and information about other health-related events that occurred on the Exposition grounds.
