This episode we dive into the terrible chaos of the plague, and the grim reapers of old that arose to the occasion, otherwise known as the Plague Doctors. We explore what the purpose of the iconic plague mask, dive into the old medical system of the time, known as the four bodily humours, explore first hand accounts of a merchant trapped within the confines of his home in Florence during the plague, and also unveil how many of those profited in the death and suffering. After that we bury ourselves a little deeper into the earth and recount the real life stories of people buried alive.
