Частная прогулка по медицинской истории Саванны

Обзор

This is Savannah's only walking tour that covers Savannah's lengthy medical history from plagues that almost destroyed the fledgling colony, to a pandemic a century later that seemingly passed over the city's enslaved population, to the foundation of a soft drink giant. Given by a working Registered Nurse the tour attempts to be an inclusive look at the contributions the city's multi-ethnic population made to medicine and the city's survival.

I'm still in our first year, and were recently featured on Georgia Public Broadcasting.

I can't update my availability on trip advisor to match my schedule as closely as I would like. If you're looking for a specific date please reach out to me at savannahmedicaltours.com

We start at the old Telfair Women's Hospital across the street from the park. While most people encounter Mary Telford's legacy through her museums, one of Georgia's first feminists made a lasting impact on women's health

Colonial Park Cemetery

Savannah has a long history of dueling, and common practice held that at least one doctor needed to be present. Your guide will discuss the implications of dueling through a case study including one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Mercer Williams House Museum

Your guide will discuss the events made famous in the book and movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil from a medical prospective.

Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace

The Founder of the Girl Scouts was famously deaf in one ear, but a fluke childhood accident left her deaf in one year, and later in life a medical tragedy saved her from a loveless marriage.

Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters

This house built by a slave trader and will serve the backdrop to discuss Savannah's place in the buying and selling of human beings and the medical implications of enslaving people and transporting them on cramped ships across the Atlantic

Форсайт Парк

Мы начинаем в старой женской больнице Telfair через дорогу от парка. В то время как большинство людей знакомятся с наследием Мэри Телфорд через ее музеи, одна из первых феминисток Джорджии оказала неизгладимое влияние на женское здоровье.

Кладбище Колониального парка

Саванна имеет долгую историю дуэлей, и по общепринятой практике требовалось присутствие хотя бы одного врача. Ваш гид обсудит последствия дуэлей на примере одного из тех, кто подписал Декларацию независимости.

Дом-музей Мерсера Уильямса

Ваш гид расскажет о событиях, ставших известными в книге и фильме «Полночь в саду добра и зла», с медицинской точки зрения.

Место рождения Джульетты Гордон Лоу

Основатель организации «Девочки-скауты» был известен своей глухотой на одно ухо, но случайный несчастный случай в детстве сделал ее глухой через год, а позднее медицинская трагедия спасла ее от брака без любви.

Дом Оуэнса-Томаса и кварталы рабов

Этот дом, построенный работорговцем, послужит фоном для обсуждения места Саванны в купле-продаже людей и медицинских последствий порабощения людей и перевозки их на тесных кораблях через Атлантику.

Джонсон-сквер

Это конечная точка тура. Ваш гид подведет итоги, предложит маршруты к другим достопримечательностям и порекомендует местные рестораны и магазины, если это необходимо.

Matthew was an amazing tour guide. Great walk with interesting medical history as well as important landmarks for the city in the past and present. Highly recommend for any one interested in history or in medicine. Matthew did a great job helping to talk to us at our level - he quickly adjusted to using more medical terminology/knowledge once we let him know we were in the medical field.
