    People in the 14th century’s understanding of the plague was inaccurate because their reasoning for how the plague originated from and how to cure themselves from the plague were wrong. In document A, it states that the plague originated from “the constellations which combated the rays of the sun that exerted their power especially against the sea and the waters of the ocean arose in the form of vapor. The waters were in some parts so corrupted that the fish died. Causing the vapor to spread through the air in many places of the earth”. The corrupted sea wind that blows through islands are the “causes” of the plague.…

    It is not as simple as prescribing the patient a drug, and this book was about a time where physicians did not have a type of drug that could fight the plague. All these doctors had were half baked theories on the way it was transmitted and how to avoid it. Even then, when Doctor Hoffman found positive tests for the plague in patients, other doctors met that with skepticism because using a microscope was still a relatively new way of diagnosing diseases and often many older doctors did not believe in it. There was more parts to the book not outlined in this review, but for me the most important part was the way Mohr wrote about the socioeconomic classes and how everything stockpiled against the doctors and their fight against the plague. We see too often the science behind it, and how doctors advanced their technology, but the thing that is surprisingly lacking is the effect that people had in the hindrance and the advancement of the medical…

    People back then lacked general hygiene, which is understandable since, there was no indoor pluming at the time. The plague was caused by rats who carried fleas, but I think people caused the spread, not the rats with fleas. People carried the plague through trade routes, unknowingly. People could of just kept to themselves during this time, stay away from open wounds, clothes were also infected as well as, towns. If towns were contaminated, no one should be able to leave, just incase if they do have the disease, they don't spread it.…

    During the Dark Ages, the doctors, or so called “Plague doctors”, were called on for during miserable times hoping the patient would get the best out of the visit. The Plague doctors wore a long black robe up to their knees which folded on top of their black boots. They also wore a large bird like mask, the mask had glass openings for the eyes and a curved beak shaped nose which was filled with herbs to filter out the bad air (Ceffrey). Little did they know plague doctors many times didn’t have any medical training and were referred to as “empirics” – and even in one case he was just a fruit-seller beforehand (The Bubonic Plague). The treatments at the time were ridiculous and did not soothe the infectant in anyway, hence “bleeding, for example, remained a popular cure for plague victims, though it was no more effective for the Black Death than it was for any other malady,” while other doctors suggested “poking open the swellings on the plague sufferers’ bodies to let out the pus” (Currie).…

    Education of physicians was not the only advancement towards modern medicine. Many believe that those who provided patients with treatment were “forerunners of the modern pharmacists, these herbalists used their knowledge of plants to provide a variety of medicines, both curatives and preventatives” (Dunn 63). When a patient was struck with the plague, these herbalists would prescribe them medicine, similar as to how pharmacists work today. This shows how the plague influenced the field of medicine and caused it to become more modernized because herbalists developed a role very similar to the role of pharmacists today. Although medieval European doctors truly did struggle with treatment of the Bubonic plague, it caused Europe to make major advancements in medicine that would not have happened without the…

    The best advantage was that it showed the people how disease spread and how important hygiene was. If the disease would not have spread and killed a lot of people, than they would not have learned how important it was to wash hands, bathe regularly, and to keep the streets clean. The plague also caused a surplus of jobs, and consequently a rise in wages. It also caused an overabundance of jobs. With a lot of people dying it made for more jobs that people could work, letting more people have the opportunity to…
