    I wonder why they refer to them by their religion, Hinduism, rather than by their nationality? Should children this young really be considered of a certain religion when they are not old enough to have experienced or read about any other religion? I think not.

    Looks more like a dissection than a surgery.
    Anybody wash their hands then?

    The 2nd sister died about a year after the first, also of tuberculosis.

Dr. Mary Walker

from U.S. National Archives

  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    On June 10, 1982, a US postage stamp was issued to honor the humanitarian acts of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (1832-1919), who risked her life to treat the sick and wounded during the Civil War. She was the first woman to serve as an Army surgeon.

    In 1865, on the recommendation of General Sherman, Walker was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. However, 51 years later, new criteria for receiving the medal disqualified her. Walker refused to return the medal and wore it every day until her death in 1919. In 1977, an order was signed by the Secretary of the Army to reinstate her award. She is the only woman to ever be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

    First Day of Issue ceremonies were held in her hometown of Oswego, New York on June 10, 1982. (Scott 2013)
