They'd also have medicines. A doctor of 2021 is indeed going to give you better medical care than a doctor of 921, but that doesn't mean the doctor of 921 is useless, especially if they're using Bald's Leechbook. I bring you a compilation of medical posts as previously seen on my Middle Ages Is Best Ages Compilation.

• u/BedsideRounds has a non-exhaustive list of Stuff That Worked;
• u/sunagainstgold talks about medicine and its efficacy, as well as medical education in the Late Middle Ages;

But the star of this post is u/BRIStoneman drawing from the 9th Century medical text Bald's Leechbook:

• On the book's attitude to the treatment of medical conditions in general;
• On the treatment of infected wounds;
• On its recommendations for cuts and fevers (with bonus literacy downthread);
• An assortment of treatments demonstrating that the leeches of Early Medieval England were on to something;
• On its treatments for worms of all kinds.

Bonus: Bald's Leechbook is available in all its digitised glory here.

As ever, more insight is welcome from anyone with the knowledge, so if you'd like to type up a post of your own, please don't let this one stop you!
