Medieval Surgery Was a Nightmare And Most Patients Didn’t Survive

Imagine being fully awake while a surgeon cuts into your body.
No anesthesia. No sterilization. No mercy.

In the Middle Ages, surgery wasn’t healthcare — it was controlled violence.

Barber-surgeons amputated limbs with bone saws. Red-hot irons were used to seal wounds. Skull drilling was considered treatment. And even if the surgery itself “worked,” infection usually finished the job.

In this episode of Medieval Uncensored, we explore the brutal reality of medieval surgery:
– Why patients were fully conscious
– Why barbers performed amputations
– The terrifying tools surgeons used
– Battlefield surgery and survival odds
– Why infection killed most patients
– And how rare survival actually was

This is dark history without filters.
No romantic myths. No school version. Just what really happened.

🎧 Perfect for listening while doing something else — disturbing, calm, and factual.
