An exhibit at the McCord Museum of Canadian History, which runs until November, marks the centennial of the discovery of the x-ray. Among the items on display are a portable field x-ray machine used during World War I and one of the machines commonly found in shoe stores between 1930 and 1950 to x-ray customers' feet. The exhibit also features one of the first scanners used in North America. Dr. Denis Melançon, a radiologist at the Montreal Neurological Institute, was the driving force behind the McCord exhibit. "I wanted to show [not only] the historical and scientific aspects of the discovery, but also its medical and social applications," he says.

The symposium for physicians in the Old Bad Pfäfers in honor of the 500th anniversary of Paracelsus' was framed by an art-exhibition with art-works from eleven amateur artists. Nine physicians, one psychologist/psychotherapist and one nurse met for the exhibition in order to get involved intensively with the personality of the medical colleague, natural scientist and philosopher Theophrast von Hohenheim. New interpretations of this 'seltsam wunderlichen Mann aus Einsiedeln' and of the Taminaschlucht, the place where he stayed for a short while, were exhibited. The artists have briefly been introduced during the opening session. The importance of the 'imagination' and of the creative work of a physician are emphasized.
