The Rise of the Barber Surgeon
Rise of the Barber Surgeon is an interactive talk that plunges audiences into the fascinating, and often unsettling, world of early medicine. Before the age of trained physicians and sterile operating theatres, everyday healthcare was often left in the hands of the barber surgeon—figures who cut hair, pulled teeth, stitched wounds, and even performed amputations with the same tools they used for shaving.
Whilst you are entertained, Bloody Mary's will be served ! Note : this is not for the squeamish, more for the curious!
