POSNA Archives - Finding Aid Updated

The POSNA Archivist has recently updated the finding aid. The POSNA collection is a record of the formation of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America and its predecessor groups, the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Study Group. Records concerning annual meetings, specialty days, bulletins, and published articles make up a large percentage of the collection. Additionally, the collection documents the achievements, innovations and contributions of many of its prominent members.

EMBASE, OVID's Database of the Month

Do you do systematic reviews or work with pharmaceutical information? You may be interesting in trying the EMBASE database while it is free through OVID this month. It is a medical database like MEDLINE that has more of a European and drug research focus, so while there is overlap, it also indexes additional titles. You will need to register for the free access.

A Physician's Bill -- Life in the 19th Century American South

This new online display from the Historical Collections of the University of Virginia's Health Science Library explores life and medical practice in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the mid 19th Century, inspired by an 1848 fee schedule drawn up by 10 physicians.

“Physician Price Fixing in 19th Century Virginia”

"What would you pay for a house visit from a doctor whose office was within a mile of where you lived? How about a dollar with one prescription thrown in for good measure? Or maybe you need your tonsils out. Fifteen dollars will do it. Have a broken arm? Ten dollars will take care of setting it, unless it is a compound fracture and then it would be twice as much. A dollar will cover the extraction of a tooth."

This was a time when "ether anesthesia had just been introduced into medicine less than two years previously and chloroform just a year earlier, so painless surgery was not widely available."
