Dr. Alanna Skuse

The hat down and suddenly you've got ears attached, which is amazing. We should bring those back. Look, I'm an elf. But we need to move on to a different discipline, which is the apothecary. I don't know if I pronounced that correctly, but these are pharmacists? Yeah, basically. So they come from the pepperers and the spicers, who are medieval. Did you say those two words again? Pepperers and spicers. So they import pepper and spices. Oh, wow. Pepperers and spicers.

Heillä on esimerkiksi lääkärit. Heidän pitäisi laittaa preskripteja, joita lääkärit kirjoittavat. He tekevät sitä, mutta he myyvät myös omia lääkärit ja tekevät omia lääkärit. He diagnoosivat, myyvät, heillä on omia pieniä kaupoja. Kyllä, niitä on paljon.

Kyllä, se on vielä printissa. Se on saanut enemmän lisää kuin Grey's Anatomy. Voi! Mitä se on kutsuttu? Kolpepperiturbo. Kolpepperiturbo. Kolpepperiturbo. Kyllä.

Elina, kuka on järjestäjä ja mitä hän tekee? Järjestäjä on Valentine Great Rakes. Mitä nimiä! Sanoisin, että aloittaa hyvän nimen ja saa vielä paremman nimen. Hän on irlandilainen. Hän on yleensä uskonnollinen. Hän tuli Irlannista vuonna 1665.

Hän käsittelee ihmisiä niin, että esimerkiksi jos sinulla on sydäntä, hän käsittelee sinun sydäntäsi, ja sitten hän käsittelee sinun sydäntäsi, ja sydäntä tulee sinun sydäntäsi. Hän on erittäin populari. Hän käsittelee sinun sydäntäsi!

Ehkä. Kyllä, mitä Coppa laittaa herbolle, hän on vain krippi naisista. Olemme aina puhuneet lääkäristä ja lääkäristä, koska he ovat niitä, jotka ovat jättäneet paljon kirjoja.

But the vast majority of medical treatment is being administered by women. Kind of noble women or women of the kind of middling class who give medicines to their servants and their families and their neighbours. And they do extraordinary medicine. They do all the kind of basically giving you a hot toddy type medicine. But they also, some of them will do bits of surgery, like treat quite serious illnesses. The noble women will do this? Yeah.

One of the most famous women of this era would be Hannah Woolley. Hannah Woolley is kind of like Martha Stewart or someone like that. So she's not noble. She pulls herself up basically by her bootstraps. Her husband dies and she needs to make some money. So she does one of the first commercial remedy books. And it's really, really popular and she ends up publishing loads of these.

Cock water is a cure-all medicine for fevers and things. You make it by mashing up a cockerel. And then you distill the water from the cockerel with raisins, the milk of a red cow and ambergris. And ambergris is whale phlegm, right? It is. Yeah, hyper expensive, incredibly expensive. Hard to find. Hard to find, because you need a whale to literally wash up on the beach. Sometimes just the ambergris will wash up on the beach. Beautiful. Yeah, and it's for fevers and things. Okay, so it's like cow poll.

Kind of, it sounds like chicken soup. It's creamer chicken soup. The other cures of course would be oil of frog. Oil of frog. Oil of frog. And puppy water, I don't want to ask. Puppy water can either be puppy wee or water in which you've boiled a puppy. Oh god!

Midwifery is a funny profession because some of the midwives are professional midwives. They're making all their money from it. They do a lot of births. And some of the midwives are like your auntie that has seven kids. So there's always mostly men trying to get them to make it more formal, but they're quite resistant to it. And the most famous one, I suppose, from this era would be Jane Sharpe.

Yeah, Jane Sharpe's great. We hardly know anything about her as a person. She's kind of mysterious. But she writes this big midwifery book. It's like 400 pages, but it's really good seller. And it's very frank about everything, which I think is why people bought it.

You may, you may. Okay, Alana, you've got two minutes, off you go. Okay, so there's this big emphasis on the market, and this is what I usually talk about, is that commercialisation is driving medical specialism and driving people to get better at medicine.

Mutta meidän täytyy myös muistaa, että tämä on syntynyt paljon yhteiskunnallisesta terveydestä, jota me nyt tiedämme. Olemme nähneet rikkoa, ja meillä on yhteiskunnalliset terveydenhuoltoja siellä, mutta meillä on myös asioita kuten turvallisuus. Koska monestiinit, jotka ovat tutkineet ihmisiä, eivät pysty tekemään sitä enää.

Ja siinä on vähän kaosia noin 70 vuotta. Ja sitten Elisabeth, kuten Elisabeth I, tuntee, että hän täytyy laittaa tehtäväksi tehtäväksi tehtäväksi tehtäväksi tehtäväksi tehtäväksi.

The other thing we have is hospitals. And that's again driven by war, because the civil wars, you need hospitals for people. It's a whole propaganda thing of who has the best hospitals. So you get more hospitals being used as training centers and more hospitals in general. So at the end of the 17th century, you get new hospitals or expansions of hospitals like Chelsea, St. Thomas, Guy's, Westminster. They're all produced during that period.

So we have quite a lot of hangover from that time in the good as well as the horrible stuff that we always think about.
