It’s an interesting thought, and especially when it comes to eating healthy there’s clearly still a lot that science has not reached a conclusive decision on. What one scientist claims is the most healthy diet, another will call the most unhealthy.

But there’s one big difference between the 18th century and now, and that is science. The approach to both medicine and surgery in those days were dogmatic and not based on research. There’s no doubt things done in the name of medicine today that will be looked upon as crude and primitive in the future, but the big divide lay at the dawn of the scientific approach.

Interesting. I presume the device is for trepination?

What’s more worrying is how wrong we might be nowadays about diseases that, in the future (when we’ll all be dead, unless someone manages to freeze us or invent a time machine), will seem barbaric. There are bound to be some treatments we have or use now that are completely wrong. I wonder what they are? Diets are currently my bugbear, in the 1960s we were told to eat lots of protein, not much starchy carbohydrate and to go easy on the fruit in case we got bellyache… and now look at what we’re told – the opposite!
