Question: Which Texas hospital has an exhibit with more than 100 bronze casts of famous people’s hands?
Answer: Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. In the 1950s, orthopedic surgeon Adrian E. Flatt began making plaster molds of patients’ hands to prepare for surgery. Later, he expanded the practice to examine the hands of other surgeons and, eventually, famous athletes, prominent politicians, and other celebrities. The collection includes models created from the hands of Walt Disney, Dwight Eisenhower, Mickey Mantle, and Dr. Seuss.
