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.
