このコンテンツについて
Thousands of years before modern neurosurgery, physicians across the world deliberately opened the human skull as treatment.This practice, known as trepanation, appears independently across ancient cultures — from South America to Europe to Africa — and many patients survived. Archaeological evidence shows healed bone, clean cuts, and repeated procedures.This was not ritual madness.It was early medical logic.In this episode of The Caduceus Files, we examine:why ancient doctors believed pressure caused illnesshow trepanation sometimes saved liveswhy survival reinforced beliefand what this practice reveals about medicine before measurementThis is not a story about ignorance.It’s a case study in how observation can sustain dangerous certainty.Memento Medicus.
