    Who was the physician who extracted a bullet from Andrew Jackson’s shoulder after a duel? What exactly is congestion of the brain? And was a simple dentist and druggist really a Confederate spy?

    Let us write you a prescription that is sure to keep your boredom at bay. Philadelphia has long been on the “cutting edge” of some of our greatest advances in history and the medical field is no exception. Join us as we explore the final resting places of important medical men and women and hear their stories of pioneering medical discovery and practice. They may rest in peace but their ideas and contributions are still important even today.
