Why plague doctors wore beaked masks

Explore the history of the European plague doctor, and find out where their iconic outfit of a beaked mask and robe came from.
--
The year is 1656. Your body is wracked by violent chills. Your head pounds and you're too weak to sit up. In your feverish state, you see a strange-looking man wearing a beak-like mask, his body covered from head to toe. Without seeing his face, you know: you have the plague. So, where did these iconic outfits come from? Stephanie Honchell Smith explores the history of plague doctors.
Directed by Anton Bogaty.

But lemme tell u money doesn't have the power to generate that kind of dedication and sympathy to save a human life,money is something but not everything. There's surgeons in OT for straight up 48 to 72hrs trying to make someone's life better..this amount of effort is priceless, no money can repay them..

    @@Lush_Produce shut up. of course they earn well but you probably forgot to think about the fact that a doctor is one of the most, if not THE most important profession there is for us humans. Also, they have a rather lenghty studying process and it takes years often times decades to become a certified doctor in a field. on top of that you have to deal with other people, having to look and touch their sick body parts which probably is not such a pleasurable thing to do most of the time and i'm not even talking about surgeons. On top of that top, they usually work a lot and often have to be available on short notice and/or work long shits until something is completed. and on top of that, they aren't allowed to make mistakes because you better believe that customers families and themselves will not be happy if things go south so it's a lot of pressure and expectation. most people who want to be doctors don't think about the money first or second, they think about helping people and doing what they find interesting. if they'd be in for the money, they could just study business economics, be done after 3 years and earn just as big and even become a business owner. much, much easier and faster. i think it's just right to have doctors earn good money and, if it were for me, the same would be true for many other underrated jobs in healthcare like nurses, social workers, hospital staff etc. etc.

    It's kind of interesting that much of what we think of as "Dark Age superstition" was actually just people working under the assumptions of Classical authorities like Galen who were thought to be too brilliant to be challenged. (It's also fascinating how many things we associate with the Middle Ages, like these Plague suits and people never bathing, are actually from later periods that we think of as being more "enlightened." Actually, the topic of bathing in the Middle Ages would make an interesting video topic.)
