The Affidea Clinic in Cork city has signed a temporary initiative with the HSE which will allow patients to arrive directly at the city centre clinic without an appointment, just as they can with HSE injury units.
May 3, 2021 The patient presented after 3,000 years. X-ray and CT scans revealed first that this was not a male scribe and priest, as suspected, but in fact a woman about 25 years old, possibly a society elite from a vast necropolis in Thebes in Upper Egypt.
Moreover, the woman was pregnant when she was mummified.
The find is the only known case of an embalmed pregnant woman, according to Polish researchers from the National Museum in Warsaw, who published results of the investigation April 28 in the
Journal of Archeological Science. The discovery opens possibilities for a new understanding of pregnancy in ancient times, the development of fetuses, and the taphonomic processes of fetuses as well as uteruses.
