Lions in the Desert: Pioneer Physicians in New Mexico
Lincoln Historic Site
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
If your impulse is to think that in rough, tough, pioneer New Mexico medical care was probably pretty primitive, too, maybe you should think again. In fact, the evidence seems to indicate that medical practice here in New Mexico Territory a century and more ago was surprisingly good, and in several areas pioneer New Mexico’s physicians and surgeons took a back seat to none. Is it possible that doctors in sophisticated medical centers like Philadelphia, Chicago, or St. Louis counseled many of their patients to head for provincial New Mexico for the very best in medical care? Indeed it is.
