Today, getting sick usually means a few days in bed, some medicine, and recovery. In medieval times, even a simple infection could quietly turn into a death sentence.

In this video, we explore why illness was so terrifying during the Middle Ages. With no understanding of bacteria, no antibiotics, and little real medical knowledge, people relied on bloodletting, prayers, herbs, and superstition to survive. Doctors often made things worse, while hospitals were places of suffering rather than healing.
