BEING A MEDIEVAL DOCTOR: (SPOILER: IT WAS HORRIBLE) | TO FALL SLEEP TO

What was it really like to be a doctor in medieval Europe? Forget wise healers with herbs. This video reveals the brutal truth: the humoral theory was completely wrong—health depended on balancing four "humors" that didn't actually exist. Doctors prescribed bloodletting that removed pints of blood from already sick patients, often killing them. They examined urine colors to diagnose imaginary diseases. The Black Death killed a third of Europe (30-60 million) while plague doctors in bird-beak masks did nothing effective—their treatments were bloodletting and purging. Surgery happened without anesthesia or antiseptic technique—50%+ mortality from infection alone. Medical school taught astrology instead of anatomy. Trepanation drilled holes in skulls. Cautery burned tissue with hot irons. University-trained physicians were worse than folk healers because aggressive treatments killed patients who might have recovered naturally. Medieval medicine was elaborate, expensive, confident—and almost completely ineffective while actively harmful. 😴 This video was made to help you sleep.
