SUMMARY:Dyckman Farmhouse: “Bled\, Cupped\, Blister’d and Purged”—Healthcare in the 18th and Early 19th Centuries
DESCRIPTION:“Bled\, Cupped\, Blister’d and Purged”—Healthcare in the 18th and Early 19th Centuries \nBy Dr. Gretchen Sorin \nAugust 7th at 6:30PM \nVIRTUAL VIA ZOOM \nRegister here \nHealthcare in the time of the Dyckman Farmhouse\, the 18th and early 19th centuries\, was dramatically different from healthcare and wellness today\, although we can see vestiges of this time in some current practices. The people of the enlightenment made some moves toward cleanliness\, but\, the lack of indoor plumbing and body cleansing\, the difficulty of finding clean water\, and the lack of sewage systems contributed to a host of health problems\, as did a limited number of effective medicines. Inspired by an exhibition developed by the Cooperstown Graduate Program\, “Health and Hygiene at a 19th century Farmhouse\,” this talk will highlight medical practices in this period and the care available to both wealthy landowners and the enslaved people who shared their households. \n  \n“Sangrado\,ventosaterapia\, ampollas y purgado”: ​​la atención médica en el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX \nPor la Dra. Gretchen Sorin \n7 de agosto a las 6:30 PM \nVIRTUAL VÍA ZOOM \nRegistrarse aquí \nLa atención médica en la época de Dyckman Farmhouse\, el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX\, era dramáticamente diferente de la atención médica y el bienestar actuales\, aunque podemos ver vestigios de esta época en algunas prácticas actuales. Las personas del Siglo de las Luces hicieron algunos avances hacia la limpieza\, pero la falta de plomería interior y de limpieza corporal\, la dificultad para encontrar agua potable y la falta de sistemas de alcantarillado contribuyeron a una serie de problemas de salud\, al igual que un número limitado de medicamentos. Inspirada en una exposición desarrollada por el Programa de Graduados de Cooperstown\, “Salud e higiene en una granja del siglo XIX”\, esta charla destacará las prácticas médicas en este período y la atención disponible tanto para los propietarios ricos como para los esclavos que compartían sus hogares.
