Ep. 22 Medical History: Soutra Aisle, Ancient Medical Practices and Wild 19th Century "Cures"

Send us a text

 We are back with a brand new episode, talking all things wild in medical history and archaeology!

Belle begins by telling us of an incredible medieval hospital in Scotland which has had some fascinating finds relating to healthcare. Belle also gives us some insight into ancient medical practices - some of which we still use today! Raquel then goes on to discuss her favourite topic... lead poisoning! As well as the outrageous medical practices and "cures" that were around in the 19th century, while also having a chat about some pretty gross finds that the team have found during excavations in Melbourne, Australia. 

This definitely is not an episode to be missed... but we warned, viewer discretion is advised as some of it is pretty gross!  

As always, we love it when we hear from you! Send us an email, a message or find us on Instagram and YouTube to let us known which part you liked the most, which medical practice you found was the most outrageous or any new topics you think we should discuss in the future!

We love you guys, and all of your support!
