    Recently they found an even older specimen with proof of prehistoric surgery. Some young boy, about 7, had to have the bottom of one of his legs amputated for reasons we'll never know. You'd think that caveman medicine would be so bad he got an infection and died or even bled out, but he survived. Not only did they know how to cauterize the stump, they were able to rehabilitate him. He went on to live about 9 more years. 16 seems young, but back then you'd be lucky to make it to 40, AND he was part of a hunter gatherer tribe in mountainous region. Meaning that for 9 years the other tribe members took care of this disabled little boy, carrying him unknowable distances every day, feeding him and giving him water and shelter that they aquired expecting nothing in return. They simply valued him as a fellow human. They didn't care about his "productivity" or what he could do for them. They kept him alive out of sheer compassion. Taking care of the sick, elderly, and disabled is something we've been doing since our time on this earth began. Our defining characteristic as a species is our ability to work together and help eachother, and it has been for millennia.

    the ancient nose job is actually how they replace damaged nose tissue today! there was a woman who chemically burnt a hole in her nose trying some anti-acne “hack” and the skin flap thing was exactly how they repaired it
    also trepanning wasnt (necessarily) to let demons out, it was a legitimate treatment for various injuries if there was swelling on the brain or for cases like migraines, where it feels like there’s pressure or something that needs to come out. I’ve suffered from migraines and yeah back then if someone told me digging a hole in my skull would stop it from hurting I’d be seriously tempted

It doesn't matter how smart you are if you have no real way of identifying the root cause. They could well have figured out that trepanning made people more likely to survive head injuries, and thus done it as a result of that, but there's little chance they knew that brain swelling was the thing (or rather, one of the things) they were treating. About the only conceivable way they would have found out would be by cracking open the skulls of people who died, but even then they would not have any way to identify brain swelling in a living person; they'd just have to assume based on the symptoms.

    Unfun fact: According to archeologists who found trepanned skulls of deceased Incan warriors Peru (dating back 1000-1400 AD), ancient warriors who underwent trepannation after a head injury were twice more likely to survive after the procedure than soldiers from the American civil war after the same procedure.
    Aside from the major difference in the types of battlefield injuries caused by guns, spears and arrows, another theory is that while Civil War surgeons didn’t practice much sanitation when it came to removing bullets and shrapnel during surgery, the Incan healers seemed to somewhat have a slight basic understanding of infection and had some practices and experience from performing several trepanations over the millennia (e.g. heating up cutting tools over fire or placing them in boiling water to disinfect them)

      Basically everything at the microbial level is locked in a constant chemical warfare with everything else. This is really convenient for modern medicine as if you want to kill one (say to get an antibiotic or fungicide) then you study its rivals. Additionally bacteria can only be resistant to antibiotics or viruses specialized on them, which is why bacteria went from super easy to kill with penicilin to our modern antibiotic resistance crisis which can hopefully be solved by mixing in these viruses (called bacteriophages, or phages for short in context)

    Fun fact: for a long time doctors were under the impression that feeling pain was a good thing during surgery. As a result, they made sure the patient was WIDE AWAKE and AWARE OF EVERYTHING. This misunderstanding actually slowed the spread of anesthetics when they started coming into use. Often they'd just put wood or leather in the mouth to bite down on. Amputations were judged not by who did it best, but who did it FASTEST. Reason being: the person was WIDE FUCKING AWAKE and could feel EVERYTHING. The past is wild.

  • @geekasauruswreks8789

    The second method described for cataract surgery, incision and suction of the lens, is pretty much how modern cataract removal is performed now. Obviously, with more advanced medical technology such as numbing eyedrops, anxiety medication, smaller incisions, laser incisions (sometimes), the use of a tool to break up the cataract to make it easier to suction it out, a machine supplying suction instead of a boy with good succ, and replacement of the lens.
    Sure, there are quite a few significant differences because medical technology is far more advanced. However, the fact that, at the most basic level, the method used today is the same (incision and suction of lens) as a procedure performed millennia ago is pretty amazing.

    Trepanning was actually used for a much longer time than you might expect, cavemen used it, and also it was used way up until the 18-19th century’s,
    And actually, you had a better chance of surviving it in hunter gatherer tribes rather than 18th century London, because the tribes had better method of sterilisation than the victorians did
    Also it was more effective than you would imagine.
