Could You Survive 16th Century Surgery?

The middle ages were a tough time, and some weird medical practices were making their way around the world. Do you think you could survive if you had it today?

Modern medicine is pretty great. Sure we can’t cure diseases like cancer and lupus (yet), but we’ve got the smaller stuff pretty much down. Of course, it wasn’t always like that. A couple hundred years ago, you’d have been lucky to survive a deep cut, let alone an auto-immune disease! So, in the interest of helping you appreciate medicine as we know it, we’re going to take you on a tour of medicine throughout the Middle Ages!
In doing so you’ll discover what the general medical consensus was at the time, how physicians would diagnose patients (hint: it involves tasting pee), and what kind of treatments they would prescribe! We’ll take a look at what doctors in the middle ages got right, what they got wrong, and most importantly, whether you would have survived a trip to see your local surgeon/barber if you’d been around! (Yeah that’s right, at one point those professions overlapped quite significantly). If any of that piques your interest, click the video above to hop into Brainiard’s brand new time machine!

I’m starting to feel bad for Brainiard, he has been through so many things.

[@anonymousblank6269]

Brainerd : stupid enough to try to get a tan after getting sun burned , eating raw meat , holds his breath till he ge ts brain damage etc. while ignoring basic science and common sense .
Also brainerd : smart enough to to invent a time machine by himself which not even a person with a master's degree in quantum physics and engineering also with years of experience can do

[@paigeeden4496]

Good at science, horrific at common sense. That's basically me.
