...being anti-hospital in the 19th century sounds fairly rational to me?
- WorldMaker 3y agoSure, you can't fault them for not having some good reasons behind their beliefs, based on what they knew and experienced at the time. You can certainly fault them for calcifying those beliefs into an entire church with rituals/rites devoted to such beliefs that then became somewhat obstinate in the face of later scientific progress and technological advancement (and then because of that also complicit in later struggles of science versus pseudo-science and conspiratorial thinking).
- actuallyalys 3y agoTreating a hospital as an absolute last resort in the 19th century would be rational, but I'm not sure being "anti-hospital" would be.
