Medical Health Was Horrible For People In The 1950s

It is no surprise that the 1950's did so bad with health in general. This is definitely their downfall in this era.

The ways or actions they did to try and cure their patients seems so much like torture.

Some good examples are how they used to leave their patients in a solid big metal bathtub and physically lock them in, shocked them, did blind brain surgery, and more.

I read some articles saying they whipped these patients and were not taken care of in good conditions either.

In the 50's, it seemed that physical health was of toddler age but on the other hand they had to have experience to see what helps and does not help patients.

During the war era, many doctors or nurses had to cut off their patients legs and arms because they did not know who to stich them back up or get an infection out.

One thing about knowing all this information is that I feel so sorry for everyone in this era who had a serious physical or mental illness.

Some patients were treated like lab rats especially those who were mentally ill.

One thing that needed to be changed in this era was how they tolerated their patients and their ways of making them feel better too.
