DEADLY MEDICAL TREATMENTS from history. Historical medical treatments. History of medicine doc

How DANGEROUS was the medicine of the past? In this medical history documentary from History Calling we look at some of the most famous medical treatments employed by our ancestors that we would now consider to be at best useless and at worst nothing short of murder or attempted murder by killer doctors. As we explore the history of medicine, you’ll find out what trepanning was and why you don’t ever want to be subjected to it. We’ll look at how the English tried to battle the Great Plague of 1665 with masks and herbs. You’ll hear how the practice of bleeding nearly wiped out the French royal succession and what killed President George Washington, why Elizabeth I was lucky to survive smallpox given the bizarre treatment she was subjected to, the poisons like mercury administered for centuries as though they were medicines (plus whether Abraham Lincoln had mercury poisoning), the attempts to combine religion with medicine that involved supposedly magic rings and dead bodies, the recipe for a healing ointment invented by Henry VIII, the bonkers idea that smoking was somehow beneficial and so many more. I’ll also show you some medical instruments from the past used for these murderous medical treatments, including drills for the skull and lancets for drawing blood. Stay til the end of the video and I’ll even share with you one medieval medical treatment that actually worked and saved the life of a future King of England. By the end of the video you’ll understand why doctors were dangerous in the past, including as recently as the 20th century in some cases and why the sick and injured might have been better off going it alone back in the day.
