The history of medicine in the British medieval period! This video covers what people thought caused disease, their approaches to treatment as well as the major diseases of the time.

It is a great overview of the period in general, and the contents required for the Edexcel exam board specifically.

It's season 2 of History Skimmed! This is the first of 5 videos. The next, on Renaissance medicine, will be out soon. Probably.
