I'm living in the modern era but very interested how people live during medieval... am i weird? edit. the video is interesting.. i learned a lot thanks
@@quillinkhistory9539 If I were to fall and break my arm would it be more practical to have a doctor ask me when was I born and when I say the spring he throws up his hands saying he can't help me or the carpenter who ties two boards on either side of the break?
@@johnkilmartin5101 Well I guess the best thing to do would likely just hope it would heal by itself. The doctor won't help you and the carpenter/surgeon is not to unlikely to kill you by infection^^
@@quillinkhistory9539 I am in my early 50s and have broken at least eight different bones at one time or another. Among them are my left thumb and right ring finger. Both occurred in the military, they didn't splint the ring finger consequently it's noticeably crooked. So a few years later when my thumb broke they weren't going to splint it either until I strongly insisted. My thumb looks and works the same as it did before the break.
We should be more modest about deriding medieval medical superstitions - attitudes of doctors have not changed, many of them still think of themselves as demigods and resent patient input; most of today's medicine is "experiential" (i.e. we know it works but we don't know why); medicine still regularly peddles "cures" that turn out to be nonsense or even lethal (I need only mention ulcers, or HRT, or statins); and "iatrogenic" is a leading cause of death. By no means do I want to go back to medieval medicine. But our forebears were not stupid, they tried to make sense of the world as best they could. Just like today.

No, you're just like all the other people visiting this channel.
Thx Shrelock! Im happy you liked it :)
Medieval medicine was scary man
"Yo my man has an infection, let's bleed him so he get's even weaker"
Nice.
No its more like, "Yo my man needs a surgery, let's call the carpenter"

Avicenna Book of healing
Nonsense..That is not related to medicine despite its title, but deals with philosophy..lol
