In this episode, we’ll explore medieval healthcare and its differences from modern medicine. We’ll discuss how most practitioners learned through apprenticeships, with barber surgeons performing procedures that often led to infections. The Church played a significant role in influencing medical education, basing it on Galen's theories and establishing universities. We’ll examine how rare and expensive doctors used tools like leeches and zodiac charts, primarily serving urban populations. The poor relied on monastic hospitals, which sometimes refused treatment to prevent the spread of disease. Join us as we delve into the complexities of healthcare during this period.
