Title A name given to the resource Museum and Artwork Subject The topic of the resource Museum collections Description An account of the resource Our museum collection helps tell the story of the College, of its place in the city of Glasgow, and of Scottish medical history. Our collection also tells the story of the students, Fellows and Members who have shaped the College over the centuries. We have fascinating medical instruments and equipment used by some of the most famous people associated with the College, including Joseph Lister, David Livingstone and William Macewen. These sit alongside a varied and often gruesome collection of surgical and dental instruments which help to show the progression and innovation made in surgical procedures from the 18th century onwards.

Title A name given to the resource Bi-phasic Stimulator Description An account of the resource This bi-phasic stimulator was owned (and probably built) by the neurologist James Sloan Robertson. Although the exact purpose of the machine is unclear, it was most likely used during surgical treatment of patients suffering from epilepsy. An electrode would be attached to the machine, which would help the surgeon to locate a lesion for removal, and also ensure that an undamaged part of the brain was not about to be removed. The device is clearly handmade, and is most likely an early prototype or precursor to machines used in later deep brain recording techniques. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iFI_oDkJbTY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/91742f9ee2074036a6e5819934ffdf75/embed?autostart=1&amp;ui_controls=1&amp;ui_infos=1&amp;ui_inspector=1&amp;ui_stop=1&amp;ui_watermark=1&amp;ui_watermark_link=1" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1126">Robertson; James Sloan Mutrie (1905-1978); neurosurgeon</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 1960s Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2001/3 3D James Sloan Robertson Neurosurgery Visualization
