About this event

Are you curious about science, architecture, artifacts, history or music? Throughout the upcoming In These Spaces project, participants will explore a diverse set of subjects using the Morrin Centre's spaces as a backdrop. Over the course of five live-streamed events, experts will talk about their field of expertise with our host.

How Surgery became Modern: Bodies, Instruments, Practitioners

Where does modern surgery as we know it come from? The answer lies in history. The history of modern surgery can be developed around three themes: first, the changes in the understanding of the body and its diseases; second, the development of surgical techniques, such as hemostatic forceps, anesthesia, or antisepsis; and third, the changing professional status of surgical practitioners from craftsmen to scientifically trained and specialized doctors. These interrelated changes occurred in the past two hundred years and led to the modern, highly technical, and scientific kind of surgery that we are familiar with today.

Guest - Dr. Thomas Schlich

Thomas Schlich, MD, is James McGill Professor in the History of Medicine at McGill University in Montreal, where he is Chair of the Department of Social Studies of Medicine. Trained as a physician, his research interests are the history of modern medicine, science, and technology (18th-21st centuries). He has published books on, among other things, the origins of organ transplantation, 1880s-1930s, and the history of operative treatment of broken bones, 1960s-1990s, and has recently edited the Palgrave Handbook of the History of Surgery (2017). He is currently working on a book about the history of modern surgery, 1800-1914, and another book on the history of the medical mask.

Voulez-vous en apprendre davantage sur la science, l’architecture, les artefacts, l’histoire ou la musique ? Tout au long du projet En ces lieux, les participant.e.s exploreront une variété de sujets avec les espaces du Morrin Centre comme arrière-plan. Durant les cinq présentations virtuelles, des expert.e.s discuteront de leur domaine d’expertise avec notre hôte Peter Black.

Comment la chirurgie est devenue moderne : corps, instruments et praticien.ne.s

Mais d'où viens la chirurgie moderne telle que nous la connaissons ? La réponse se trouve dans l'histoire. L'histoire de la chirurgie moderne peut être développée en trois thèmes: premièrement, les changements de compréhension du corps et de ses maladies ; deuxièmement, le développement de techniques chirurgicales comme les pinces hémostatiques, l'anesthésie, et l'antisepsie ; et troisièmement, le changement du statut professionnel des chirurgien.ne.s, passants d'artisan.e.s à docteur.e.s spécialisé.e.s et entrainé.e.s.  Ces changement inter-reliés ont eu lieu durant les deux derniers siècles et ont mené à la chirurgie moderne hautement technique et scientifique avec laquelle nous sommes familiers de nos jours.

Invité - Dr. Thomas Schlich

Thomas Schlich, MD, est James McGill Professor en Histoire de la médecine à l’université de McGill à Montréal, où il est directeur du département de sciences humaines en médecine. Formé en tant que physicien, ses intérêts de recherche sont l’histoire de la médecine, des sciences et de la technologie modernes (18ème au 21ème siècle).
