If Only I Had Time To Read These - Tumblr Posts

There's been an uptick of interest in my medical history posts, so have a Medical History Masterpost:

Skillfully Combined™ (the notorious Victorian cough syrup photo and the pharmacology behind it)

The Industrial Revolution & the Pharmacological Boom (ft. expansionism, chemistry and geopolitics)

The Edwin Papyrus & Imhotep (ft. input and correction from an Egyptologist!)

Cancer as a Chronic Disease through History

Imhotep's gout treatment and modern pharmacology

Absolute Madlad Ambrose Paré, Ligature and Haemostatic Clamps

NB: I'm a biomedical science undergrad who's been reading literature about medical history since age 7, not a doctor or a historian. Whilst I add academically weighted sources where necessary, I strongly encourage you to do your own further reading, and not to take my word as Gospel. Finally, none of this is medical advice, nor am I qualified to give medical advice. If you're worried, see your GP.
