These Historical Pictures Communicate The Unspeakable

[@joannfuhrer3114]

I was all busy being depressed over so many suffering souls and then those adorable Japanese children in their raincoats showed up...! This was a collection that made me count my blessings...that's a good thing. Thanks!

[@amyshew1151]

I spent a year in trauma ICU - my seatbelt nearly dissected me . What helped me get through many days - on respirator or no food or drink for a year - dying of thirst - I thought of pictures of Ethiopian women carrying dying children across vast desert lands seeking the nearest aid . I would think of how dry and thirsty their mouths were and I was at least in A/C. I always reminded myself someone was having a worse day : Or never had a single good day . I had a 10% survival rating - septic 3 times - it’s now 15 years post accident . I have my issues - but all in all ? I feel quite lucky to have been born into the circumstances and time I was born and know that even with my injuries , I’m likely better off than at least 60% of the worlds population . Look on the bright side : Things can always be worse 😊

The Roman surgical tools r AMAZING. Those r some very intricate and specific tools for those times. On one hand, I feel like I shouldn't b so amazed, considering the artesians they had but when u add in the skills of their surgeons that used them...waaay more advanced than most of us realize!!

[@alicepetrofesa8797]

Some really wild and unusual photos..amazing for sure!

[@DuckReach432]

John Rogan, the 'second tallest man' looked to have almost no muscles on his legs: no wonder he couldn't walk, poor fellow. Some grim, but fascinating images.

[@lorihenrytaylor4438]

You understand that not being able to walk keeps one from developing muscle tissue in the legs, right?

[@leon-o4m7k]

its called giantism ' its very painful ' this is why hes not been able to walk !

[@Dharmadasa1993]

John was very close to the bio mechanical limits of the human body. All people this tall suffer from, or will suffer from joint problems, which is probably why he couldn't walk.

[@judithkimmerling770]

As a psychologist and researcher, these are my personal comments and more information regarding the conditions of some of the people in theses photos: This is the dehumanizing of this woman in “lunatic asylum” by 1) putting the “Inmate” number on her dress like a criminal or Nazi prisoner 2) grabbing her hair like a hunter with a trophy 3) she’s probably unconscious from drugs or beatings At that time a husband could commit his wife to a “lunatic asylum” for ANYTHING 1) if he wanted to get rid of her because he had a mistress or wanted to marry another woman 2) for not having a “subservient disposition”; ie expressing her opinion or disagreeing with him 3) for a change in her disposition due to depression It is horrific that the man with handlebar mustache was rewarded with a peerage from Great Britain for running a “lunatic asylum”. The woman in the French hospital with “hysteria” may have had “catatonia”, a condition with symptoms that include a lack of movement by “posturing“ (holding unusual body positions), or “wavy flexibility” (resisting movement). The term "hysteria" comes from the Greek word meaning "womb" or "uterus". This term is no longer termed a “gynecological illness“ but symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or depression. The woman with massive legs and feet earned her living as an exhibit in a circus sideshow. As explained, her condition is called Milroy’s disease, commonly known as lymphedema, which is now treatable but not curable. The two-headed boy’s condition is known as “craniopagus” or parasitic twin Lol. I AM the old woman with a book and a cat. 🤭

[@ButterflyTwinkle1968]

God bless. I felt a sting for the woman with lymphedema . I naturally don’t look at these things can’t stand to see Topsy electrocuted or another elephant strangled over a bridge. But, I really do appreciate your insights. Your Sincerely The ole lady with book and cat❤

[@AmazingHistoricalPhotos]

The latest line made me laugh 🐱🤗

[@terryfelkins912]

I agree with your summary of the pictures. It’s totally sad how horribly people were treated! Today it’s not much advanced! I never heard leprosy called hansons ! Who thinks this crap up!

[@denilla8034]

[@getin3949]

When you see photos of mummies with their mouths WIDE open - it happens to ALL of us when we die. It isn't because of suffering, pain or being buried alive. Your mouth most always hangs open as SOON as you die. I've seen several of my relatives now just after they've died so I am probably your BEST witness to this fact of death.
