Michelle Barton is a
vetinary surgeon and living history re-enactor who is passionate
about medicine and surgery from Roman to late 12th Century crusades
and Victorian times.
She has always been curious
about a great many things, but for the last 20 years has been travelling
down the path of medical history and finding it is so much more
then dry facts and boring figures.
She has given talks and demonstrations
on Medieval Medicine, Sickness In The Middle Ages: More
Than The Black Death, Medieval Arrowhead Removal Surgery,
both online and in person for the Abbey Museum of Art & Archaeology
and as a guest speaker on medieval medicine at the British Museum's
Medieval Power exhibit at the Queensland Museum. She has also presented
talks on Ancient Rome at the Cobb+Co Museum, Galen's Roman
Medics at the Australian National Museum, and as part of Gladiators
: Heroes of the Colosseum at the Queensland Museum presenting
on roman medicine and surgery for both adults and children’s
events.
Her blog Cabinet
of Medical Curiosity is new but will highlight interesting medical
historical things.
