Medicine in the middle ages weren't very scientific and many patients suffered horribly as a result. No one knew what germs there were, or what caused diseases and there was no knowledge of antiseptics and anaesthetics. The medicine went backwards in the Dark Ages because of the chaos, and didn't know a lot about this period (Dark Ages) and weren't wealthy enough. The patients suffer horribly in the Middle Ages because medicine were not that good and they didn't know why diseases occurred. The Christianity teach about illness saying that it is punishment from God for sinful behavior. If you had too much blood, doctors believed that you would be hot, feverish, and bad tempered. They cure you by using leeches for bleeding you. Black bile made you sluggish, slow and depressed. They would give you purgative. If you compare modern day cure and medieval times cure, you can clearly see what are the differences. It was more disgusting and the cure could murder people. And some doctors are liars and they could murder patients without feeling guilty because, they were just curing the patient! So you shouldn't be sick during the Medieval Times!!
