    I am really interested in takes likes these because I wonder why everyone always picks the middle ages. Like I think you just mean before germ theory, antibiotics, and effective surgery, so "pre 20th century". Do you think you would have fared better in Rome? Why?https://twitter.com/evanjstern/status/1339615845576806401 …

        It is not that it isn't *correct* it is that it singles a particular thousand years out as exceptionally unscientific or something when there is no evidence to suggest that is the case. Medieval medicine advanced classical medicine, which was also humoral.

        There were huge strides made especially by people like Ibu Sinna/Avicenna as well, which is why takes like this are also a bit racist. But the other things is medicine was also not much better in the european modern period! I am not really trying to see an 18th century docror!

        Anyway it is all a bit of fun. I just find this always saying middle ages weird. Here's some stuff about medieval medicine from me if you want it.https://going-medieval.com/2019/09/05/on-medical-milestones-being-racist-and-textbooks-part-i/ …

        it's unbelievable to me just how much of our modern medical system only came to be in the last 150 years

        It's less than a century since we learned how to make large quantities of effective antibacterials. My dad lost half a lung to TB in the 1950s. A polio vaccine wasn't available until around that time either. This stuff is still *really* new.

        I've been heading down the rabbit hole of genealogy in both paternal and maternal families, and before 1900 my ancestor labourers would generally either die before 5 or live beyond 80. So yeah no IDK what that twit is twitting.

        Absolutely -- death rates worsened as industrialization revs up. In the 19th c., if you didn't kick off because of one of those lovely epidemics, then it was smallpox, or diphtheria, or scarlet fever. Or just plain old starvation.
