High Tech in Its Day
Healthcare technology’s latest and greatest will be on display next week at HIMSS in Orlando. Before covering that, I wanted to take a look back 150 years or so ago at what was then high tech. A friend who collects medical antiques shared these pictures. I wouldn’t want to be a patient back then. Just think, they didn’t have EMRs ;)
