Program Description

Event Details

Leeches, superstition, and inevitable doom — these are the images many of us conjure when we think of medieval medicine. What we tend to overlook are the ways medieval practitioners succeeded in treating their patients. Join Reference Librarian Flannery for a fascinating look at the often misunderstood world of medieval medicine and the surprising foundations it set for today’s medical practices.
