Woodstock '69
Woodstock '69: Three Days of Peace, Music and Medical Care | Jack Kelly, Myron Gittell
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
tells the story of the frantic, often chaotic, sometimes comical medical drama of the health care at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Everyone from 'hip' doctors, to Army helicpter pilots to vacationing nuns pitched in to make the hippie festival a happy rather than horrific occasion. Gives the inside story of everyting from the tragic deaths of 2 fair-goers to the mysterious birth of the 'Woodstock Baby', to the Hog Farmers using talk-therapy on the most spaced-out of trippers.

Checked out this little gem of a bookstore up in Woodstock, NY. They had TONS of signed Neil Gaiman books- I guess he visits this place pretty often! 📚☮️

This was a hoot to read. Considering a crowd of 400,000 people and widespread drug use, Dr. William Abruzzi concluded in his final report that at no time did the medical team see or treat “any incident which involved the causing of personal or physical injury from one human being to another.”

As much I as I sometimes get tired of Boomers mythologizing the Sixties, from a public health perspective, these statistics are enviable.
