[post_page_title]Medical procedures that could kill you[/post_page_title]
Back in the medieval era, even the most eminent doctors had neither the knowledge nor the tools needed to actually help with more complicated conditions such as epilepsy. In fact, physicians commonly used a procedure called “trepanning” which sounds more like torture than treatment.
Doctors would drill a hole in a patient’s skull to expose the outer membrane, which they thought would relieve the brain of the pressure that was causing the illness. Most patients, however, would simply bleed to death because the procedure was conducted without any sedation or anaesthesia. We wonder why.
