It likely meant getting an abscess from an infected tooth which lead to sepsis. We’re really lucky to have modern medicine.

“Suddenly” interests me the most. Not a condition or even a means, just a manner.
Like a catch-all for things they didn’t understand; heart attack, brain haemorrhage, things where someone’s fine one minute, and dead the next.

Afaik, sudden cardiac arrest is a cause of death still used today. In spanish we call it just sudden death.

Stillborn, Aged, Apoplex, Bleeding, Flux, Sores, Burnt, Scalded, Burst, Rupture, Cancer, Wolf, Canker, Cold, Cough, Strangury, Consumption, Convulsion, Starved, Drowned, Executed, Falling Sickness, Fever, Fistula, Gangrene, Gout, Grief, King’s Evil, Lethargie, Spleen, Sciatica, Teeth, Thrush, and Worms

“Cancer, and Wolf.”
What?…. What?
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Cancer, and Wolf, refers to the old common term for cancer: wolf. It was thought to be a parasite that ate up the afflicted, like a wolf.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
“Have you been bitten by or interacted with any wolves recently, Mr. Jacobs?”
“No, I’ve never actually even seen a wolf in real life.”
“I see, then we seem to have misdiagnosed you, it turns out that you have lymphoma and you’re a liar. Now take this cocaine and get out of my office.”
jeffep@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Sounds weird from today’s perspective, but actually refers to two notorious murderers that terrorized people at land and sea. You could protect yourself from either the cancer’s claw or the wolf’s tooth, but not both.

It’s ageneric term for an open hole between two spaces where there should be a wall. The two spaces might include “outside”, but could be two internal spaces (e.g. between the intestine and abdominal cavity)

Yep, and even worse, one of the classic ones is rectovaginal. Fortunately modern medicine can fix it

in college, i did a fair amount of number crunching on mortality statistics and the demographic transition. here’s some numbers i remember from the 1700s: life expectancy: 40
life expectancy at age 20: 72

I’ve spent more time than I care to admit reading Wikipedia entries on significant people from past centuries. Way too often their life story is full of disease and death. A dozen siblings. All of them suffer the same disease in childhood. Half of them don’t make it to adulthood. Mother dies during childbirth. Father struggles making money from their creative work, dies in a duel. Subject cared for by wealthy uncle. Is affected for the remainder of their life by the childhood disease. Repeat for the next generation.

Apropos “Cut of the Stone”. I read a book about history of surgery and one chapter was about a guy who remove his own bladder stone. Back then people didn’t have great hygiene and urinary track infections were common. Those would cause bladder stone that would get worse and worse witch each infection. The stone would block the urethra entrance so you would feel you like really need to pee but once you stand up you wouldn’t be able to. This wasn’t very pleasant so people would try to remove the stones. Typical way was to go through the taint, open the bladder, remove the stone. There’s a lot of blood vessels there so survival chances were not great. Doctors refused to do it because patients would die to often and then family would blame them and they had enough shit to deal with already. So you had traveling bladder stone removers. They would do the surgery and by the time patient would die they would be on the road again.
So this one guy, a blacksmith, tried to get his stone removed twice or had two stones removed already, it’s not clear. Anyway, he didn’t like the traveling stoncutters. So he got a sharp knife, ask some guy to assist him and did the surgery himself.

Denjin@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
It’s 1632, dentistry was was carried out by the same person who did the medical surgery, who also happened to be the person who did the animal butchery too.
Also it’s around the time that sugar started to come into the common person’s diet from the plantations in the Caribbean and people didn’t understand how terrible it was for their teeth. There’s skulls of people who died in old age from the 14th century with basically perfect teeth but by the 16th they were rotting out of people’s mouths by the time they got to their 30s.

What the fuck is “Teeth” about?
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
It’s the same as chrisomes. Infant mortality was so high, the ones who died without obvious cause just get lumped together by age group.
Chrisomes refers to those who died within the first month, during the time they’d be baptised. The baptismal cloth, the chrisome, would often be just as a burial shroud.
Teeth meant they were old enough to have one or more teeth, 6-24 months. Teething was thought to be potentially fatal because so many infants died during that period. Correlation, causation, yadda yadda yadda.
laranis@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.
Been to a doctor lately? We can’t cure shit. We’ve got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.
“Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that’s funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it.”
I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I’m just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.
