- OJFord 2y agoI know it's just an example, but it didn't take modern medicine for us not to die of broken legs at twenty. There's some risks sure, but the norm was presumably lying down and resting because it (especially doing anything else) bloody hurts, it gradually healing, and then varying degrees of hobbling for the rest of life because it healed without a splint. (And then it wouldn't be that surprising I don't think if we figured out splints long before anything you might call medicine.)
- portaouflop 2y agoWe didn’t need modern medicine to heal broken bones but for sure more than what was „naturally“ available. You can switch out broken bones for „being dragged from the campfire into the dark and devoured“ - another natural occurrence that I gladly live without
