TTC – After the Plague

Description:

municipality. People from all walks of life were infected by fleas, rats, even their own family and friends, and developed a variety of terrifying symptoms: egg-sized lymph nodes, high fever, and delirium, among other troubling afflictions. Extreme suffering befell the continent as adults and children, Catholics and Muslims, lords and common folk alike succumbed to the so-called Pestilence.
But how did Europe’s transformation unfold? What do we know about religious, social, political, and economic life after the outbreak of disease? How did groups on the fringes-women, Jews, Muslims, the poor, the outsiders of all types-fare during this tumultuous time? And what can the art and literature of the Middle Ages reveal about the human spirit in the face of this catastrophe?
Even if they avoided contracting the disease, all Europeans were touched by its lasting effects. A young Geoffrey Chaucer, who came of age as the disease ramped up in England, wrote in the shadow of the Black Death. Without ever mentioning the affliction by name, Chaucer captured a world defined by widespread illness and social upheaval, but also by remarkable human resilience. Witness to a period of profound turbulence and vibrant transformation, the ambitious and incisive medieval writer folded the uncertainties of the age into his stories.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.

Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.

For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).

The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
