//**What did doctors do in Middle Ages?**// There were just few hospitals in a village. They didn’t have money to open the hospitals so they help people at home. That means they didn’t have proper hospitals. The doctors used magic spells if you need a small help. But if they need big help, they cut the people. And the bad thing, they tried people. (Now they try with mice first. They cut people) If there is a person who is bleeding, the doctors cut and let the blood come out. The doctors always tell people, and they believed that if the bile or choler, water, earth and air were not balanced, you will be very sick or you will die.

There was very limited medical knowledge. Middle Ages people didn’t know anything about germs and how disease spread. The city was too dirty and even a sewer ran through the city. Black Death is a deadly disease that killed most of the people and they had no idea how it spread. (The Black Death killed 3/2 of the people)
 * //How good was their medical knowledge?//**

//**How did they cure people?**// If you were a person who lived in Middle Ages and you was sick,your friends will pray for you. And if it was bleeding, the doctors tell the people to let it bleed. Or they used [|leeches] to suck the blood. Also, they used Middle Ages leaves. (If your tooth was about to fall out, they burned your teeth. They thought the worms was in the tooth.)
