EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Francisque Crotte Treating a Patient with Tuberculosis using Electricity" takes us back to the early 20th century when medical science was on the brink of radical breakthroughs. In this scene, we see a female scientist and doctor, Francisque Crotte, standing on a platform surrounded by an intrigued audience. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Dr. Crotte prepares to administer her innovative treatment for tuberculosis (TB), a disease that plagued countless lives during that era. With determination etched on her face, she holds up two discs connected to wires - symbols of her groundbreaking application of electricity in medicine. As the patient lies before her, hope fills the air. The crowd watches intently as Dr. Crotte carefully places the discs on strategic points of the patient's body, aiming to harness electrical currents for healing purposes. This portrait captures both the bravery and curiosity of those involved in medical experimentation at that time. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases like TB. Through this image, we are transported into an era where innovation met desperation in search of cures. It invites us to reflect upon our own advancements in medicine while honoring those who paved the way for modern healthcare practices.
