Historical Zeal


In addition to building a collection of historical TB medical texts (a nice addition to my medical-history library), I have started to collect some of the equipment used in the early 2Oth Century to treat tuberculosis patients. Alerted by our assistant director, Josh Fishlock, I bid on eBay for an authentic pneumothorax machine, widely used -- and mentioned repeatedly in our movie. There was actually some intense bidding, but when the auction closed, this gem became mine! I suspect you will see it again, when ON THE LAKE premieres...
