Not too long ago, it was common for doctors to make house calls. They would visit families in the comfort of their homes and administer medicine. It was also common for doctors to be paid with commodities such as chickens, eggs, and even freshly baked pies. As a way of commemorating the many medical professionals who helped people, a large sculpture was installed on the lawn of one of Newark’s medical centers: a large medical bag with a stethoscope falling over it. The sculpture is over twenty feet high and fifteen feet wide, making it the largest doctor’s bag in the world. Huge Doctor's Bag with Stethoscope is a unique site to visit and can make for some interesting photographs to show of your trip to Newark.
