Summary

"History of the Division of Medical Sciences" by Sami Khalaf Hamarneh is a trip back in time to when medicine met museums, specifically inside the Smithsonian Institution. It tells the story of how a small corner for old-timey medicine grew into a big display of medical history, with a focus on the people who made it happen and lots of cool old medical stuff that was collected. The book is like a timeline showing how our understanding of health and healing changed. Early doctors are mentioned, along with the start of different medical sections. The book pretty much walks you through how the Division of Medical Sciences changed from just a collection into a place where people can learn and study medicine's past.
