I can’t imagine the pain this man went through. God forever bless the man who invented anesthetic.
Im just amazed how well kept Henry's head is after all these centuries.
The amount of pressure on John Bradmore😳 this is 1403 and yet he, a blacksmith barber surgeon butcher came up with the idea and lit the forge and executed the plan all while keeping the prince free from life threatening infection...And then documented it all....Dr. John Bradmore, what an outstanding man.
There is but one kind of person who could narrate and explain such gruesome things with utter class and calm: The gentleman in this video.
I love the way he expresses how the monks sang “For four days!“ as if that was the worst part of the entire story. 😂
Absolutely brilliant performance, Kevin. I'm a doctor and I enjoyed every second of this. Always worth mentioning that honey is one of the oldest and and most effective anti-bacterials - possibly used by the ancient Egyptians 5000 years ago.
The prince’s young age must’ve been a big factor in his recovery; the body’s ability to heal is amazing at the age of 16. If this had happened to him at Agincourt, it would’ve been “Goodnight Vienna.”
I could not stop laughing at this man’s incredible performance and use of comedic timing. And hey, I learned something gruesome and pretty freaking cool! Bravo!
I can't imagine the searing pain the young prince must have been in during the surgery, but that instrument John Bradmore created was an absolutely brilliant invention for the time.
This dude has “cool history teacher that actually keeps students engaged” vibes
Props to the cameraman for going back in time to interview this surgeon and film this demonstration
I’m impressed how quickly the doctor came up with the tool and how brilliant it is.
Stayed on the battlefield with an arrow through his cheekbone for over an hour, at the age of 16. That is why you were King. Thanks for your service brother.
Its shocking that after those ricochets the arrow still had enough momentum to break his cheek bone, absolutely wild.
Fascinating. How the prince did not die of shock, I do not know. Great presenter and props.
God this man is terrific. His stories transport me like I was a kid.
Dear lord, the sound effects. Had me wriggling in my seat. A well deserved like for presentation
I remember when I was a kid, we went to Chepstow Castle for a secondary school trip. Kevin gave us a tour around the castle in full costume, shared stories and showed off various weaponry and how they were used. My favourite part was actually when he gave this demonstration of Henry V's arrow removal to us as a class, it was absolutely brilliant and I remember covering my eyes as I wasn't brave enough to look ha ha. That was almost ten years ago now, great to see Kevin doing well with this awesome channel! Subscribed.
Unbelievable. I remember reading of a similar injury, but the doctor chose to shove pig fat in the wound, thinking it would randomly graft onto the skin! It obviously went septic. To think this man used a decent antiseptic and invented a surgical tool, still in use today, off the cuff, is insane. They still believed humors ruled the body, for heaven's sake, and we wouldn't develop germ theory for another five centuries! The thought of this being done with no morphine though... I feel sick just thinking about the pain.
John Bradmore deservedly has a special place in medical history. What he did was nothing short of miraculous!
