Medicine became a science only a few hundred years ago, offering physicians the opportunity to save millions of lives. Unfortunately, some medical practitioners have distorted well-tested medical principles for their personal profit to the detriment of those who suffer the most.
This presentation will explore the difference between science and pseudoscience along with the risks faced by those who pursue the latter. As featured in Dr. Greenspan's book, Medicine: Perspectives in History and Art, this event includes artifacts from his quack medicine collection, one of the largest collections in the world.
