In the realm of healthcare, the act is an age-old practice that transcends time and borders. From Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's poignant portrayal of a "Sick Carnot. " in 1893 to Ned Kelly seeking solace in the Gaol Hospital at Melbourne, these snapshots encapsulate moments where lives hang in the balance. Amidst the Irish Famine, an engraving captures a female nurse delicately checking the pulse of a young girl confined to her bed. The monochrome photograph serves as a stark reminder of human suffering during this harrowing period. Giuseppe Garibaldi, flanked by Doctor Partridge, stands resolute in another black-and-white lithograph from 1862. Together they navigate treacherous times with unwavering determination and medical expertise. The timeless tradition continues with oil paintings depicting doctors attending to their patients' bedside. Whether it be tending to sick women or swooning girls, these skilled physicians offer comfort and hope through their healing touch. Dr Washington Epps immortalized on canvas becomes our trusted confidant as he gazes back at us from May 1885. His portrait reminds us that behind every great doctor lies compassion and dedication towards those under their care. Even historical figures like G. Washington find themselves vulnerable during their last illness; attended by Drs Craik and Brown, they rely on medical expertise for salvation. From centuries past emerges Dr Philemon Tracy's enigmatic visage captured around 1790 - his contribution shrouded in mystery yet undeniably significant within his era's medical landscape. Finally, Sunday at Chelsea Hospital transports us to February 18th, 1871 - a moment when soldiers receive vital care amidst camaraderie and resilience against adversity. These glimpses into history remind us that regardless of time or circumstance, taking pulse remains an essential aspect of healthcare.
