progress in medicine

The main corridors of the l'Hôpital open onto central courtyards used for parking. Convenient, but transforming those areas into greenspace would be so much healthier than the exhaust that filters into the interior space.
The museum hold many objects that hint at just how far medical practice has come. This is a table de radioscopie-radiographic basculante, part of a tilting x-ray, circa 1920.
