National Museum of Health and Medicine

This is a random bucket list adventure. We went to Silver Spring, Maryland to the National Museum of Health and Medicine. It is free, off the beaten path and I shouldn't have ate lunch before we went.
This is a concrete slab from a surgery floor for I believe the Gulf War.
Information about Walter Reed.
Just a human skeleton to greet you. 
This monkey went to space!  
 

Some super old medical instruments.


Some very interesting items from Lincoln's assassination from the bullet that shot him to his hair to bone fractures to his blood on doctor that tried to save him.








Rheumatoid arthritis - my GG



There was other things in the museum from lot of organs to conjoined twins and brains - but they made me queasy so I didn't take pictures. 

It was a unique experience, but that is part of our adventure! After the museum which took us about an hour to go through, we ran some errands in Rockville and got bubble tea.
