In the Middle Ages, surgeons were not considered medical men: they did not receive professional education, were in the same guild with barbers, and earned several times less than physicians. In addition, the methods used were such that death sometimes seemed preferable to patients over treatment. Surgery began to change for the better only in modern times.
It is about this period in the history of surgery that we will tell in the new episode of ‘How It Was.’ You will hear the story of Jan de Doot, the man who cut out his own bladder stones, and Daniel Schwabe, who performed the first stomach surgery. You will learn why the founder of scientific anatomy Andreas Vesalius disagreed with both physicians and the church; how an accident helped the military surgeon Ambroise Pare to abolish the barbaric practice of treating wounds with boiling oil and hot iron; and how King Louis XIV’s bottom propelled surgery into the modern age.
