Thanks to Gary Duffield for sharing this article by “Revolutionary War Rarities” a podcast from the Sons of the American Revolution.

As we age, well things start to break. Check us out after a hot day in wool or after a 1 mile parade in July.

Medical issues come to the forefront of our active lives.

The following “Holiday Special of Revolutionary War Rarities” is a contrast of medical procedures of today vs. the days of the American Revolution.

Trust me, we are in better hands today!

Today we talk about some of the frightening medical devices used during the American Revolution. For the most part the medical devices used back then have absolutely no purpose with the knowledge that we possess today.

We hope you enjoy this episode and learn more about healthcare, or the lack of it, during the American Revolution.
