It was a really fun day out that tickled my taste for science and medical history, but it was also a quite moving. The patients of the theatre were all women, who had to endure the pain of primative surgery while being observed by 100+ men in the gallery.

Above is an image of the Yersinia pestis bacterium. This little bacterium, which coincidentally looks like a green cheese puff is what causes Bubonic Plague. Also known as the “Black Death” the plague killed an estimated 25 million million people in Europe, Asia & the Middle East in the 14th Century. It was commonly believe that TODAY in 1345 was the beginning of the catastrophic plague. Allegedly, according to 14th Century scholars this was due to a “triple conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter & Mars in the 40th degree of Aquarius.” We now know the actual cause for the disease is the bacteria mentioned above being carried by fleas, traveling on rats and then jumping off onto other mammals. So, in a round about way - today is plague day!
