About the Author
Thank you for visiting my site! I am Samantha Gilchrist, I am a student at Northern Virginia Community College and I created this class for my History 111 class. I chose the topic of surgery because I am studying and working in the medical field and always found ancient medical and surgical practices fascinating. This site only offers a broad explanation for some of the many amazing medical procedures done in ancient civilization, but I hope you all enjoyed it and learned something new!
