  • Delight Or Disgust? the Afterlife of Anatomical Waxworks
    362 Delight or Disgust? The Afterlife of Anatomical Waxworks Marla Dobson*, Emma Rosalind Peacocke** Abstract How do we display the uncanny? During the Second World War the medical school of Queen’s University (Canada) commissioned artist Marjorie Winslow to make a series of wax teaching models to illustrate childbirth, in three dimensions, for the benefit of medical students. How have curators displayed these obstetric waxworks, which provoke strong feelings of disgust or of horrified empathy? Even in storage in the Museum of Health Care at Kingston, the Winslow waxworks remain concealed behind a curtain, and when they are on display, they are now far more likely to be part of an art exhibition than a medical history display. This paper uses the early history of obstetric waxworks and their display in eighteenth-century Italy to show how medical waxworks have always challenged the disciplinary divide between art and science. This historical context informs our understanding of the display history of the Winslow waxworks and of uncanny objects in general. Key words: waxworks; obstetrics; art; medicine; exhibition In Anne Radcliffe’s 1794 The Mysteries of Udolpho, the heroine Emily St Aubert is exploring the medieval castle of her villainous uncle when she pulls back a dark curtain on a shocking spectacle: Beyond [the curtain], appeared a corpse, stretched on a kind of low couch, which was crimsoned with human blood, as was the floor beneath. The features, deformed by death, were ghastly and horrible, and more than one livid wound appeared in the face (Radcliffe 1794: 348). Radcliffe’s spectacle behind the curtain incarnates her version of the Gothic, which decisively eschews horror and the supernatural in favour of the rational and the empirical.

(Karin Boye from the poem, I rörelse, translated into English By David McDuff in “Karin Boye: Complete poems”) To the memory of Hans Jörbeck and my mother ABSTRACT MRSA and other resistant bacteria- prevalence, patient and staff experiences, wounds and infection control Antibiotic resistance has become a major and serious global problem in healthcare. Limited treatment options for infections caused by these organisms can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Sweden has a low prevalence of antibiotic resistance compared to most other countries but this presents an increasing problem for society and healthcare even in Sweden. The overall aim of this thesis was to illuminate potential problems related to antibiotic resistance from different perspectives: assessing the prevalence of resistant bacteria methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) or other resistant bacteria, and associated wound types, patient and health staff experiences when confronted with resistant bacteria infection, and the occurrence of such infections in the nursing home environment. In the first study a total of 2172 patients admitted to hospital or as out-patient visit at a University hospital during one day were examined with the purpose to identify all wounds, wound types and wound characteristics, and to identify bacteria in all wounds, particularly MRSA, VRE and multi-resistant Gram- negative rods.

    Limelight Newsletter of the Kingston Historical Society Kingston Ontario Canada Volume 19 no 4 ISSN 1488-5565 April 2017 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dr. Marcus R. (Marc) Létourneau "What's past is prologue" Tempest, Act 2, Scene I, William Shakespeare While arguably an overused quote describing the impact of the past on the present, I could not help but be struck by its resonance during the first strategic planning retreat held by the KHS Council on March 26, 2017. The Kingston Historical Society has a long and illustrious past, and decisions concerning the future must take into account the Society’s impact and contributions to Kingston, both historically and today. What struck me during the conversations, and in reviewing the results of our 2016 membership survey, was the belief in the tremendous potential and opportunity for the Society but with a tempering view that the status quo cannot continue. There was a common refrain that we must ensure that the KHS is relevant and resonant to both our membership and the Kingston community; we must also ensure that we are understood as welcoming and collabora- tive, as well as open to change and debate. I sincerely want to thank the KHS membership for its honest and direct feedback concerning the strengths and weaknesses of the Society. With nearly half of the Society’s membership responding, I was per- sonally very pleased to see the members’ dedication and interest in the future of their organization. While there is still much work to do, I look forward to bringing the results of the strategic planning process to the membership in the near future.
