Medicine today may feel precise and trustworthy, but in the not-too-distant past, medical practices were steeped in superstition and danger. From trepanning to bloodletting, ancient civilizations used bizarre and often harmful methods in their attempt to heal. In this documentary, we dive deep into the strange and horrifying world of ancient medicine, uncovering the weird rituals, remedies, and surgeries that once defined the medical profession. Learn about the liver rituals of Mesopotamia, the use of crocodile dung in Ancient Egypt, and the eerie practice of bloodletting in ancient Greece and Rome. Join us on 'Weird Histories' as we unravel the most bizarre medical practices of the past, where the line between healing and harm was perilously thin.
