Status Updates From Bleed, Blister, Puke, and P...

Kind of love that this ends with the straw on the camels back sort of event 😵

I'm technically finished, I'll update tomorrow but this book was definetly a ride! The amount of *audacity* of the physicians/doctors/experimentalists (because let's face it, they were given the chance to PLAY doctor.) My info dumping personality was for the drama

They would go amputation to amputation without washing the saw :')

Also some people just amputated because they could. The Civil War was just one big medical experiment

Okay.
-chloroform was used as a party drug. Also they discovered it trying to make cheap pesticides
-anesthesia was considered satanic. "Men should just endure the pain." Oop

Homeopathy really came into light because people were tired of being bled dry. Also the audacity of some male physicians, telling women to forego having a midwife when they know little to nothing about child birth!
