Is there a female doctor in the house?





1832 Elizabeth Blackwell receives her M.D. degree from the Medical Institution of Geneva, N.Y., becoming the first woman in the U.S. with a medical degree.

The art of medicine is in amusing a patient while nature affects the cure."
Voltaire

Wow 1832 huh? How great to have a future DIL who will also be added to a wonderful list of strong women in the medical field.
