Because hospitals are so central to modern medicine, we tend to assume they were a constant presence in history as well, but the hospital has been a much more fluid entity over time. For example, if a train wreck in the 1800s resulted in multiple cases of injury, only some of the victims might be taken to a hospital, and they would not necessarily be the most seriously injured. Find out why in this session where we’ll explore who went to the hospital in the past and what happened there.
