Strange Stories From Medical History

1. Strange Stories From Medical History

3. We live in strange and often troubling times, that goes without saying, but in some respects it’s always been this way… We here at Typerse thought we’d dig through our extensive collection of content to find some strange stories from the history of medicine to prove it, and maybe to lighten up your day just a bit too! For whom the bell tolls. The 18th and 19th centuries were, in some ways, a time of innovation when it came to medicine, but we hadn’t quite got everything right just yet, and on occasions we made mistakes. Although such occasions were rare, one such mistake was an unfortunate number of instances where still living people, thought to be dead, were buried alive. As a potential solution to this problem, a number of designs were conceived for safety coffins. That is, coffins from which the prematurely buried could ring a bell located on the outside of the coffin to alert passers by that they were still alive. Left vs right. Although the left vs. right debate usually centers around politics, it’s not the only occasion where the two sides were at odds. One of the many bizarre beliefs that stemmed from the middle ages was that sperm from the left testicle would produce baby girls, whereas sperm from the right testicle would produce baby boys. Since it was considered more desirable to produce a male baby in order to have an heir, many men had their left testicles removed.
