Macphail Homestead, 271 McPhail Park Rd, Vernon Bridge, PE
Price:
Free-will donation
In an upcoming talk to be presented at the Macphail Homestead in Orwell, Dr. James Moran will draw on a collection of correspondence between Macphail and Osler stretching between 1909 and 1919, examining the “McGill Connection” between two famous physicians who had more than just Montreal in common. Dr. Moran is a historian of medicine and mental health at UPEI. He is currently finishing a book called Madness on Trial: A Transatlantic History of English Civil Law and Lunacy. Like Sir Andrew Macphail, he loves Montreal, but prefers to live on Prince Edward Island. This is the annual Sir Andrew Macphail Memorial lecture, co-sponsored with the Prince Edward Island History of Medicine Society and held on Macphail’s birthday, November 24. Start time is 7:00 pm, preceded by a cash-bar reception at 6:30. Admission is by free-will donation.
