EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of brave medical orderlies during the height of the bubonic plague outbreak in China, around 1911. The orderlies are dressed in long coats and gloves, and their faces are covered with masks or cloth, providing a stark contrast to the chaotic scene behind them. The bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, was a deadly disease that swept through Asia and Europe in the 14th to 17th centuries, but this outbreak marked one of the last major epidemics in China before the discovery of antibiotics. The medical orderlies, who were often the first line of defense against the disease, worked tirelessly to care for the sick and prevent the spread of infection. They would have been responsible for taking temperatures, administering medication, and disinfecting patients and their surroundings. The use of protective clothing and masks was essential in minimizing the risk of infection for both the orderlies and the patients. The photograph offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by medical personnel during a pandemic. The bandages and medical supplies visible in the foreground suggest that the orderlies were treating patients directly, while the chaotic scene in the background underscores the urgency and intensity of their work. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by medical professionals during times of crisis and the vital role they play in protecting public health. This historical photograph, taken in China around 1911, is an important record of a significant moment in medical and public health history. The image is a testament to the resilience and dedication of medical orderlies during a time of crisis and serves as a reminder of the ongoing importance of effective disease prevention and control measures.
