Dr. Paul Boor joins me on Galveston Unscripted to discuss his historical fiction, The Ice Merchant. I wanted to have Dr. Boor on to discuss how bodies were sourced for medical dissection in the late 1800s, when medical dissection was not technically "legal". From the mid 1800s, medical schools in Galveston acquired bodies for research, although the methods of acquisition weren't always legal. We'll explore this history with Dr. Paul Boor, a scientist, doctor, and author of two historical fictions, The Ice Merchant and Blood Notes. Join us for an interesting discussion about medical research, science, and history in Galveston.
