Worst Medieval Jobs

Out of all of the worst Medieval jobs, I could not be the Barber Surgeon. That would be the absolute worst job ever. I could not use the tools. Being in the twenty first century, it seemed so unsanitary and unsafe. Using the color of the urine to tell whether some one was sick does not seem to be very accurate. I could never insert medicine six inches into someone and then force the medicine into their butt or mouth. I could not perform the amputation or deal with the problems that the people had. I also could not deal with the leeches or the worms. I think I would be sick almost every single day.

I also could not be the Wise Woman. I could not make the worm stew or kill the eel. I get the chills and sick to my stomach even writing about it. I could not prepare the remedies to give to people. I think that the worst part of that job though, is being the patient. Now, I would never even consider using the treatments. During that time period, I would imagine that it made sense to them, but the result could not have been great. I do not think that putting a ring of worms around your neck would heal a sore throat.

These videos had many awful jobs, but the worst were the one that dealt with medicine and treatments. It seemed that it would worst for the patients though. Urine was involved in many jobs. If I spent seven to eight hours every day around it, I would probably get used to it over time. I am just so glad that I live in the twenty first century. Those jobs were horrible.
