The Trotula- a (less than) accurate guide to health
🕑 Added 2023-11-19 00:06:51 +0000 UTCIn this bonus video, Dillon and I read some sections from the Trotula- a twelfth century guide to women's health. We talk about drugging children, castrating weasels and removing layers of your skin for the sake of beauty. Enjoy!

I'm guessing 900 years from now, people will read our current medical books and have similar reactions.

Speaking as a doctor, I think all of these are unimpeachably humoral.

I'm guessing the weasel would have just as soon they killed it before removing its balls.

Never got opiates, but as an infant my father gave me whiskey to stop me crying. No ill effects that I am aware of. :)

"Bollocks, sire. Weasel and goat, sautéed in a lovely little mushroom gravy." Good to see Dillon on here, he's hilarious. You still owe him 50 bucks by the way.
