Worst jobs in Middle Ages 02 The Barber Surgeon

[@jesusrestoreshearts]

An ancestor of mine was a middle age Barber. Johann (Jean) Maupetit. I'd like to think he was just a 'normal' barber and did lovely haircuts. :) This however is very interesting to see and to know. The truth is the truth...

[@Juupitrr]

At least you now know who to go to for a trim or not

"Theodoric of York, Medieval barber..."

[@lionguardant5468]

One of the things I don't think was properly impressed on the viewer is the very stark class division between the Barber-Surgeon and the physician - this barber talks about uromancy (what we would call today 'uroscopy') but that was very much a physician's job; the barber was a manual worker and not trained in that sort of thing, certainly not to the extent of humoral theory. Surgeons weren't educated at all, and a physician would never stoop so low as to perform bloodletting or amputations. There's a reason why modern-day surgeons retain the title 'Mr' as opposed to the learned 'Dr' title.

Watched this in class, quite interesting actually.

[@MegaAstroFan18]

Hirudin is what we use leeches for today, among other things. In cases like the dude mentioned, reattaching a finger, then a number of substances in leech saliva are useful for promoting blood flow back into the reattached finger, and preventing clots.
