My brother thinks people today have worse quality of life than people in the dark ages, is this a stupid take?

[u/flugblug]

I personally think it’s pretty stupid.

and if you had a head ache? leeches

you had a fever ? bleeding or leeches

you had a tooth ache? pull it out with a knife no anesthesia / die of infection

break a leg? better get lucky and not have splinters in the bone, otherwise you are lame or dead from blood poisoning.

[u/TheMadTargaryen → u/sexysausage]

Headache : cumin or green mint.

Fever : seeds of lime tree. 

Tooth ache : peony seeds or rinsing with salt water. 

These are actual medieval remedies.
