Pirate Medicine! Healthcare and Scurvy on the High Seas
The Poor Historians: Medical History Misadventures - A podcast by Dr. Max, Dr. Aaron, Dr. Mike, and Alba
We'll keep the drawn out "Arrrr's " to a minimum. Let's take a look at pirates and medicine. Quite surprisingly they had some progressive ideas when it came to taking care of the ill. We'll talk about early experiments to discover the cause of scurvy, pirate healthcare plans (no, really), and why you should eat oatmeal only on Tuesdays. Bonus: Max is recovering from laryngitis so his voice is extra sexy. Support the show ----- PHPod Merch Store (CLOSED) ---...
