This week we get super niche and talk about surgery and medical practices among the Golden Age pirates with Mark “Mission” Kehoe. Â He’s a pirate surgery expert and reenactor with some great stories.
As Mark talks about, we mostly hear about amputations and trepanning. Â But there’s a lot more to the medical practices of pirates and pirate surgery than you might think. Â You’ll be amazed at what the #1 killer actually was. Â Plus he’ll blow quite a few myths out of the water.
I learned a lot during this interview and I’ll be you will too.
