@elisabethy Wonderful topics! Concerning a few…My wifes grandmother was beaten by by her step mother while she was dying of cancer. The step mother was a Christian Scientist who believed illness came from sin. I think these folks are atill around. But I wonder if they were the norm during the Middle Ages where medicine was concerned.
@elisabethy medical humanities - myself as well.
