Sara Mayo Hospital was founded in 1905 as New Orleans Dispensary for Women and later renamed to honor its founder, Dr. Sara Mayo; photo, ca. 1948. ~ ~ ~ |
This photo was labeled "Dr. Stone's Hospital, 1875." I don't have any information about the hospital, but I've run across Dr. Stone's name a few times. The quote below is from the book, "Journal of Army Life" by Rodney Glison and refers to a visit to the city in 1858: "I have spent most of my time in attending medical lectures at the University of Louisiana and in visiting the Charity Hospital. I, also, had the pleasure of hearing the renowned Surgeon Stone lecture and of seeing him perform several surgical operations." |
