You know what's an interesting thought? That plague doctor costumes are synonymised with fearful imagery and barbaric treatments, but the real people who actually wore those historic garments were probably the bravest and the best of us - physicians who voluntarily stayed within the plagued city of London to help treat people as long as they could, rather than flee to the safety of the countryside saving themselves. That the treatments they had at the time were useless was unfortunate, but their efforts should be remembered as a heroic sacrifice.

Love a good Plague doc - will never EVER forget visiting Eyam (Iām from Manchester, U.K.) & hearing the frankly riveting story of āthe village that escapedā - and how they did it. Anyone interested in this subject should look up this incredible community who, through sacrifice and self-quarantine, mostly emerged unscathed. Incredible. ā¤
