Day 3
Went to Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons which have collection of over four centuries .It was so exciting since I have never been to a scientific museum . As we started the tour the lady showed us John Hunter s collection it was a lot of collection . Although they said two third of his collection was lost during the war. So at the museum they heard one third of his collection which was fascinating bones,skeletons,skulls and dried preparation. I also learned that John Hunter did his experiments on animals before he does on human being. Which shows he believes that its not that we have to go for surgery all the time , but we can heal naturally or use other option to regrow to the origin. I managed to see historical surgical and dental instruments together with modern surgical intsruments and technologies. As to conclude as John Hunter had many followers to learn from him. He managed to build a big estate which was built into 3 parts ,one for students to learn and if u where luck he woul take you upstairs to see his museum. One of the funniest thing was he was always receiving all the dead bodies all famous people for his collection maybe behind the back door. I wonder how did manage the smell
