How the hell did people cope with STDs before modern medicine? Like imagine youre living in the 15th century and you contract gonorrhea. You mean to say these people wound up living the rest of their lives with intense groin pain, burning urination, etc? I think Id rather die than live several years with those symptoms.

Just thinking about what life was like before antibiotics and pain killers is actually terrifying.

Someone did an AMA a some years ago about being over 100 years old. They were around the both world wars and the great depression and stuff and one if the top questions was "what is something you had today that you wish you had 100 years ago" and her answer was medicine. A bunch of her family died because things you can buy OTC today didn't exist back then.

gonorrhea is a bacterial infection iirc so I'd think you'd have those symptoms as long as you had symptoms of any other untreated infection.

Yep and those symptoms would persistent or get worse for as long as youre alive. Scary stuff.

I remember reading a biography on Bart Starr and it was mentioned that his younger brother died from stepping in a nail as a child. This barely happens today unless you dont have your tetanus shot. In fact only 30 cases of tetanus are reported on average each year in the U.S.

The solution for dental pain back then was whiskey and pliers

That's why technology changes the world, and with it, what's acceptable.

And that's a good thing. To adapt to the change, because of good things
