Wild West Wednesdays in Wichita, Kansas continues to be captured in these pictures that bring to mind what Cowtown is all about while experiencing how life might have been in the 1880's. Healthcare was a concern then as well as it is in our modern lives. Healthcare practices that were known and shared came from family and friends then medical doctors, dentist and last but not least...the dreaded mortician. It may not be pretty, but a very necessary part of every day living included trips to the pharmacy/apothecary, doctor, dentist and end of life services.
Cowtown's Medical Center is in a two story building with the pharmacy on the main floor with the Dentist's and Doctor's office upstairs.
Now for the not so nice, but shouldn't be completely ignored...behind this door is a sobering location.
This isn't one of my favorite places. Next week's post has got to be so much better.
Back to December festivities. Back to blogging.

It does spur some thoughts on health care, or our current idea of it anyway. We sure could use some of their common sense perspective. We just want to take a pill and forget about it. Thanks for the interesting photos! Merry Christmas to you
Amazing -- these pictures make me feel I've really stepped back in time -- sort of the feeling I get when we go to Williamsburg. Thanks for your sweet visit today -- I always enjoy hearing from you -- wishing you a most Merry Christmas!
