Bicycling, its casualties and remedies
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that offers a glimpse into the history of family medicine. The image showcases the popularity of bicycling during this era, but also highlights the unfortunate accidents and injuries that accompanied this newfound mode of transportation. Intriguingly, the engraving depicts various scenes where individuals have suffered broken bones or other injuries while cycling. A doctor can be seen examining a patient's arm fracture with a keen eye for treatment options. Nearby, an inventive double appliance catches attention as it promises to cleverly cure collar bone fractures without pain. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in our pursuit of leisure activities, there are risks involved. However, it also emphasizes how medical professionals were quick to provide remedies for these casualties. The illustration was originally featured in "The Family Doctor and Peoples Medical Adviser" published on August 21st, 1886. As we admire this historical print today, it prompts us to reflect on both the progress made in healthcare since then and the enduring human desire for adventure and physical activity. Bicycling has evolved significantly over time; now equipped with modern safety measures such as helmets and protective gear. Ultimately, "Bicycling: its casualties and remedies" encapsulates an important moment in history when society grappled with balancing popular trends with health concerns—a timeless struggle that continues to shape our lives today.
