I needed to make a pregnant woman faint, which usually corresponds with blood pressure . . . and an article was born. :-DNaomi Rawlingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431203734855694561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-80697268006823110112014-10-31T18:38:24.660-04:002014-10-31T18:38:24.660-04:00Okay, I just found an article online that said the...Okay, I just found an article online that said the horse died every time he did this, but I can't actually say if the article is accurate. It would seem likely that the horse would die. The artery was in it's neck, so that an awful lot of blood to stop during a time when bleeding wasn't necessarily considered bad, and then if the wound got infected, the horse was done for. So my guess would match the article from online, but I can't say for sure.

I think it was in The Voyage Home he cures a woman of kidney failure and says something like, "barbaric," when speaking of hemodialysis. I can see things changing dramatically in the future.

The medical treatments of yesteryear can sound barbaric to those of us today, however, I can't help but wonder if future generations will look back on some of the methods in use now and say, "How could they do that?"Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-56881376385324925902014-10-30T09:21:00.603-04:002014-10-30T09:21:00.603-04:00Shudder, I am thankful for our modern ones..
