Cut It Off! An Amputation Demonstration
October 29, 2016 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
$30
Join Atlas Obscura as they get into the Halloween spirit and turn Clara Barton’s Missing Soldiers Office into an impromptu operating theater.
Watch a Civil War medical historian amputate a gel leg using authentic 19th-century tools and techniques. The leg, made from a forensic gel and simulated bone, looks, feels, and even sounds (!) remarkably like the real thing.
