This week we’re travelling through time to see how surgery has been performed through the ages! We’ll head to 990AD to see what surgical innovation followed a monkey eating some musical instruments, the amazing (and odd) history of artificial resuscitation, and a brief history of how humans have reset and healed broken bones.


Elsewhere, we’re just so pleased to live in the iPad age of child entertainment whilst travelling. And: are you a ‘map of the world girl or guy’? For this and anything else, you can email us here: [email protected]
