Try your hand at Medieval medicine
Here's your chance to try to diagnose and cure patients
as if you were a doctor in the Middle Ages. There are
three patients for you to cure. Read about their symptoms
and then decide what treatment to prescribe. If you like,
you can read more about the symptoms and healing methods of
the time.
First Patient
Your patient has black and blue blotches
all over her body. You are fairly certain it is the plague.
What treatment do you prescribe?
1. Apply sterile egg whites.
2. Give the patient a treacle.
3. Swaddle the patient and shave the sign of the cross into her
head.
