史密森尼新展回望美国医疗史:从水蛭处方到第一颗人工心脏:「先勿伤害」长期展出

史密森尼国家美国历史博物馆的新展「先勿伤害」(First Do No Harm)已于11月6日在 Washington 的博物馆东翼二楼向公众开放,长期展出,免费参观、无需预约通行证。

展览的起点是医疗手段的变迁:从水蛭处方、上门出诊,到彻底改变医疗、让更多人获得救命治疗的前沿技术。展览同时呈现医疗体系的成就与短板,以及两者如何共同塑造了美国人的健康。

展览以三个个案开场,其中之一是科学家 Maurice Hilleman,他参与研发了约40种救命疫苗。展出的馆藏实物包括:1969年第一颗植入人体的人工心脏 Liotta-Cooley;1928年 Alexander Fleming 实验室的一份青霉素菌种样本;Jonas Salk 1950年测试脊髓灰质炎疫苗用过的注射器,以及一瓶2021年的辉瑞新冠疫苗;诺贝尔奖得主 Allan M. Cormack 1963年用于确立 CT 扫描理论基础的原型扫描装置;还有20世纪80年代至90年代初艾滋病时期的抗艾药物。

博物馆希望观众带着三个问题看展:医疗的进步由谁推动、谁从中受益、谁曾被落在后面。国家美国历史博物馆位于 1300 Constitution Ave. NW,每天上午10时至下午5时30分开放,12月25日闭馆。(来源:史密森尼国家美国历史博物馆)

Smithsonian's "First Do No Harm" Traces American Medical History From Leech Prescriptions to the First Artificial Heart

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History opened "First Do No Harm" to the public on Friday, November 6, on the museum's second floor east wing in Washington, where it will be on view on an ongoing basis. Admission is free and no passes are needed.

The exhibition traces how healing practices evolved from leech prescriptions to house calls to cutting-edge technologies that revolutionized healthcare and expanded access to life-saving treatments, examining both the triumphs and the shortfalls of the medical system and how they have shaped the health of Americans.

It opens with three case studies, including scientist Maurice Hilleman, who helped develop some 40 life-saving vaccines. Artifacts on display include the Liotta-Cooley artificial heart, the first artificial heart implanted in a human, in 1969; a 1928 sample of penicillin mold from Alexander Fleming's lab; a syringe Jonas Salk used to test the polio vaccine in 1950 and a vial of Pfizer's 2021 COVID-19 vaccine; a prototype scanner Nobel laureate Allan M. Cormack used in 1963 experiments that helped establish the theoretical foundations of CT scans; and HIV and AIDS drugs from the 1980s and early 1990s.

The National Museum of American History, at 1300 Constitution Ave. NW, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and closed December 25. (Source: Smithsonian National Museum of American History)
