Doctor Reviews BRUTAL Medical Devices

Doctor Mike and medical historian Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris examine historical medical devices, arguing that many were logical for their time but often ineffective or harmful.

They also highlight how treatments like bloodletting and mercury for syphilis were based on flawed theories, while some practices, like urine analysis, have modern equivalents.

Doctor Mike argues that many horror movie injuries are medically plausible, but some are exaggerated for effect.

The video also notes that many leaders, like Winston Churchill and Jimmy Carter, died from natural causes, while others like Shaka Zulu and Patrice Lumumba met violent ends.
