SGH Museum

I have never known that there would be a museum in the SGH, for I have never been there before, if not for the unfortunate fact that my mother was injured and need an X-Ray to be done. The museum encompass of artifacts from the past, where people donated them to contribute to the museum in hope that the works of the past great doctors and nurses, as well as how the ways of the doctors improved through the ages till now. I was surprised that the world's first successful operation for conjoined twins was done right here, in our heartland!! The twins were Ganga and Jamuna Shreshta, who had conjoined heads, with their brains interlocking each other's as shown in a plastic model made, by NYP!!

There was a video about their operation, and how they spend 7 months under the care of all the leading experts and caring nurses of SGH. Old saws and supports, as well as equipments were displayed, with the respective time lines that they were in use. Up on the second level, there was an old dentist chair, a portable vacuum for use in operations, AND a really cool 3D video that explains about the Da Vinci, an electronic surgical machine that helps surgeons with the skills, to make an accurate cut or sew wherever they are required. It was quite an experience and a pity that no pictures could be taken of the contents of the SGH museum.
