The wonderful Magneto Electric Machine which can cure toothache & haemorrhoids.

Found at the @rcpmuseum.bsky.social today when researching my half term storytelling.
(Just wondering how I can work it into the story, I’m sure I’ll think of something!)

I’m storytelling for the #RoyalCollegeofPhysicians this half term and I went along for a visit. This damaged book dates from before the Great Fire. It looks as if it was chewed by a rat but the damage is really the result of shrapnel from the blitz in ww2

What’s common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders.

The audience is the most important part of a storytelling show.
