Noah JohnsonThe anecdote of Doña Tomasita Canales, showed that the medical "professionals" of the time did not have all of the answers. Don Pedrito Jaramillo someone who is not a "professional" ended up having the solution. This anecdote further illustrates the wild west nature of the medical world. #Hist416
Brandon Morgan@NoahJohnson Both Santa Teresa and Don Pedrito demonstrated the ways that the professionalization and modernization of medical understanding and procedures didn't account for marginalized people. In what ways were their curing practices a mode of resistance and avenue for medical justice at the turn of the twentieth century in the borderlands? #Hist416
